Minimum Qualifications:
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:- Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field.
- Good understanding of hardware design and measurement instruments such as oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, RF tools, etc.
GENERAL SUMMARY:
The Radio Integration and Optimisation Group (RIOG) primary function is Bringup, Evaluation and optimisation of enhancement of the radio performance of Qualcomm silicon radios. The group consists of multi-disciplined (RF, Analogue, Software, Digital) engineers who work closely with specialist design and systems engineers. This broad base of knowledge is deployed to provide optimal tuning and configuration solutions for radio operation. The role is predominantly lab-based working at circuit, cell, subsystem and system level.
PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Focusing on all aspects of the silicon design that influence the performance, qualification and test of the connectivity radios, including elements of the embedded firmware for Radio Control and defining the Production Test strategy and test limits for the radio.
- The individual blocks are verified in isolation before building into a complete radio system to include digits, firmware and analogue/RF. The Engineer will be assigned to a project and be responsible for the performance and operation of the radio, interfacing directly with analogue and digital designers, systems engineers and radio control FW engineers to provide a complete radio system solution for verification and validation in characterization over temperature and process skews.
- The Engineer will be responsible for generating Python test scripts, writing embedded C code for FW radio control, defining radio production test limits, supporting the business group with radio training materials and investigating customer issues and product returns where required.
- The Engineer is also expected to work on digital emulator platforms, essential knowledge of digital design flow, ability to read and debug RTL code.
- Develops complex features and components of hardware designs in line with proposals or roadmaps for complex products; advises less experienced engineers working together on common testing and design tasks.
- Troubleshoots advanced issues with radio designs and finds solutions that are documented and shared with internal cross functional teams working on similar products.
- Manages project-related activities (e.g., meetings, documentation, deliverables) between their team and other teams working on the same or similar products, operating across locations and time zones.
Additional responsibilities may also include: Develops design implementation, analysis, methodology, flows, and automation for development and validation of ASIC products. Provides design solutions to evaluate, characterize and develop the design implementation solution for leading-edge products in the most advanced processes. Interfaces with various cross functional teams (RF, Analog and Digital IC designers, Software, System Engineering, Test Engineers, Customer Engineering, and Operations) to drive and incorporate the latest design solutions in the production program to improve yield, productivity, and quality.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
- Master's Degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science or related field.
- Experience with circuit design (e.g., digital, analog, RF).
- Experience utilizing schematic capture and circuit simulation software.
