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 on emulation, FPGA, and real silicon platforms. The engineer will develop algorithms for correcting 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 Python, Matlab, or C/C++ programming. The role addresses the challenge of optimizing wireless transmitter and receiver chains while utilizing lab equipment like spectrum analyzers and network analyzers to ensure high-performance radio functionality.

What you'll do

  • Lead the validation, bringup, and performance characterization of WiFi PHY/Radio systems across emulation, FPGA, and silicon platforms.
  • Design optimal algorithms to calibrate radio impairments like IQ imbalance, DC Offset, and LO feed through in simulation environments.
  • 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 and execute test plans while analyzing results to identify and debug technical issues.
  • Implement signal processing algorithms including timing recovery, automatic gain control, and RF impairment correction.

What we're looking for

  • BS 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.
  • Masters or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering (preferred).
  • Knowledge of wireless communication protocols like IEEE 802.11 standards or LTE (preferred).
