TL;DR · Wireless Radio Systems Engineer

As a Wireless Radio Systems Engineer within the Wireless Silicon Design group, you will play a critical role in radio architecture, system performance, and physical layer algorithm development for innovative wireless communication systems. You will develop system models for RF/analog designs, radio chain modeling, and coordinated interaction models while assessing various impairments. Your daily work involves designing methods to alleviate impairments through calibration, pre-compensation, and cancellation techniques. You will collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software engineers to implement efficient algorithms and optimize real silicon in a lab environment using tools like MATLAB, Python, and C/C++. The role addresses complex challenges in wireless SOC development, including 5G-NR, WiFi, and Bluetooth technologies. You will utilize spectrum analyzers and signal generators to characterize and tune systems to meet high performance standards for emerging wireless applications.

What you'll do

  • Design radio models for wireless communication systems and RF/circuit impairments.
  • Develop algorithms for calibration, pre-compensation, cancellation, and pre-distortion to mitigate hardware impairments.
  • Evaluate radio performance across various scenarios using quantitative analysis and link simulations.
  • Collaborate with designers to develop state-of-the-art radio architectures.
  • Implement PHY and radio compensation algorithms with power and area-efficient digital designs.
  • Work with firmware engineers to implement high-efficiency software for calibration and hardware acceleration.
  • Bring up, test, characterize, tune, and optimize real silicon in a laboratory environment.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum requirement of a bachelor's degree.
  • Understanding of RF and analog components, wireless communication system impairments, and corresponding calibration/reduction methods.
  • Proven track record of RF calibration algorithms for RF impairments.
  • Experience with MATLAB, Python, and/or C/C++ for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
  • Hands-on experience in lab testing and characterization using tools like spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and power meters.
  • MSEE or PhD degree with relevant experience (preferred).
  • Understanding of communication theory, information theory, and signal processing related algorithms design (preferred).
  • Knowledge of wireless protocols such as 5G-NR, WiFi (802.11), or Bluetooth/BLE; and circuit design experience (preferred).
