TL;DR · WSoC PHY/MAC Validation and Integration Engineer

As a WSoC integration and validation engineer at the senior level, you will join a dynamic hardware team focused on advancing wireless communication systems. Your primary responsibilities include designing, integrating, and validating physical layer (PHY) components for various wireless protocols such as Bluetooth, Zigbee, and UWB. You will implement and optimize DSP algorithms to enhance signal processing capabilities, conduct chip-level bring-up and validation tests using FPGA and real silicon, and troubleshoot integration issues by identifying root causes and implementing solutions. Additionally, you will develop automated testing scripts and work closely with RTL, PHY, RF, MAC, and board designers to ensure the seamless performance of wireless connectivity solutions. The role requires expertise in DSP concepts, chip-level bring-up techniques, and proficiency in Python programming alongside knowledge of wireless protocols like Bluetooth and UWB.

What you'll do

  • Design, integrate, and validate PHY layer components for various wireless communication protocols.
  • Implement and optimize DSP algorithms to enhance signal modulation, demodulation, filtering, and error correction.
  • Conduct FPGA and chip-level bring-up, including power-on testing and validation of PHY interfaces and functionalities.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues at the chip level by identifying root causes and implementing solutions.
  • Develop and automate directed PHY/MAC testing scripts to control and set up RF test equipment and chips.

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience in wireless communications with focus on PHY layer design and integration.
  • Solid understanding of DSP concepts and real-time system implementation.
  • Experience with chip-level bring-up and hardware debugging tools.
  • Expertise in PHY/RF/MAC verification and RF parametric testing.
  • Proficiency with lab equipment including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes.
  • Python programming skills for automation and scripting.
