Physical Layer Systems Engineer

Quick Facts

• Role: Physical Layer Systems Engineer (modem systems / end-to-end baseband)

Description

Design and simulate physical layer wireless communication algorithms for 5G/6G modem designs, focusing on power- and area-efficient implementations. Implement system models and run detailed performance investigations to enable performance sign-off and support RTL development. Collaborate with hardware digital designers and firmware developers to bring up and productize complete modem designs.

Responsibilities

• Develop algorithms and implementable models for 5G/6G cellular modem designs
• Perform targeted and end-to-end characterization of modem performance (e.g., throughput, BLER)
• Support modem specification definition documentation
• Support algorithm integration and implementation through testing on final silicon

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in EE or equivalent
• Knowledge of digital signal processing and design flow methodology
• Experience with Matlab, C/C++ and/or Python for algorithm development, modeling (floating-point and fixed-point), and link-level simulation
• Analytical skills (linear algebra, random processes, detection and estimation, etc.)

Benefits

• Opportunity to work on modem systems engineering with an end-to-end baseband modem view
• Cross-functional collaboration with hardware digital design and firmware development to bring modem designs to final silicon
