TL;DR · Wireless Systems Integration Engineer

The Wireless Systems Integration Engineer joins the silicon design group to manage system integration, radio calibration algorithm design, chip bringup, and characterization of state-of-the-art wireless SoC products from conception through production. This role involves leading validation and performance characterization of WiFi PHY and Radio systems across emulation, FPGA, and real silicon platforms. The engineer will develop algorithms for IQ imbalance, DC Offset, and LO feed through while collaborating with PHY, FW, RFIC, and digital HW designers to implement solutions for factory tuning and real-time operation. Key technical requirements include expertise in communication theory, OFDM systems, signal processing, and wireless test lab equipment like spectrum analyzers. Candidates must possess skills in Python, Matlab, or C/C++ to build pre- and post-silicon validation platforms while addressing complex radio impairments and signal estimation challenges.

What you'll do

  • Lead validation, bringup, and performance characterization of WiFi PHY/Radio systems on emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
  • Design optimal algorithms for calibrating IQ imbalance, DC Offset, LO feed through, and other radio impairments.
  • Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to implement algorithms for factory tuning and real-time operation.
  • Develop and maintain Python-based pre-silicon and post-silicon validation and debug platforms.
  • Create test plans, collect results, and identify/debug issues during the product development lifecycle.
  • Implement signal processing algorithms such as timing recovery, automatic gain control, and RF impairment correction.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor of Science degree and at least 10 years of relevant industry experience.
  • Hands-on experience with chip bringup and tuning wireless transmitter or receiver chains for optimal performance.
  • In-depth knowledge of communication theory, OFDM systems, RF system architecture, and signal processing algorithms.
  • Experience designing algorithms for calibration, pre-equalization, or digital pre-distortion techniques.
  • Proficiency in Python, Matlab, or C/C++ implementation.
  • Hands-on experience using wireless test lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, and power meters.
  • Master's or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • Knowledge of IEEE 802.11 standards, LTE, pre-silicon validation tools, and automated test flow development (preferred).
