TL;DR · RF Modeling Systems Engineer

The RF Modeling Systems Engineer joins the RM modeling system engineering team to work on modem systems features and requirements. This role involves modeling, designing, and simulating state-of-the-art RF for 4G, 5G, and 6G modem wireless communication systems, including 5G NTN. The engineer will implement system models, perform detailed performance investigations for sign-off, collaborate with RF systems and analog circuit designers to capture designs, and develop RF mitigation algorithms for various impairments. Key responsibilities include end-to-end characterization of modem RF impairments and supporting RF/modem specification definition. Required skills include signal processing, linear algebra, random processes, detection, and estimation. The role requires proficiency in Matlab, C/C++, and Python for algorithm development, with a focus on AI/ML solutions using PyTorch or TensorFlow to address challenges like phase noise, DC offset, and IQ imbalance within cellular communication standards.

What you'll do

  • Model, design, and simulate state-of-the-art RF for 4G/5G/6G modem wireless communication systems.
  • Implement system models and perform detailed performance investigations to achieve performance sign-off.
  • Develop RF models specifically for 5G/6G cellular and 5G NTN networks.
  • Characterize RF impairments of the modem to develop analytical models and support specification definition.
  • Develop RF mitigation algorithms to address various hardware and signal impairments.
  • Develop AI/ML modem solutions and mitigation techniques for wireless communication.
  • Create software tools and algorithms using Matlab, C/C++, or Python.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent.
  • Understanding of signal processing and communication systems.
  • Strong analytical skills including linear algebra, random processes, detection, and estimation.
  • Experience with Matlab, C/C++, and Python for algorithm development.
  • Familiarity with RF impairments such as phase noise, DC offset, IQ imbalance, and inter-modulation.
  • Knowledge of RF/analog components like LNAs, filters, mixers, and ADC/DACs.
  • Knowledge of cellular communication standards including 5GNR and 4G LTE.
  • Experience with AI/ML applications in wireless communication using tools like PyTorch or TensorFlow.
