General Summary:

About the Role:
Designs, implements, verifies, validates, and commercializes Wireless connectivity modem as a product or component within a product.
Works on the implementation of a multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) wireless connectivity modem from industry specifications (such as Bluetooth, UWB, IEEE 802.15.4, etc.).
Has experience in the wireless connectivity specifications and can efficiently implement the shared resources of a multi-RAT modem.
Works closely with other functional groups to develop a cost effective, high quality and high capability modem that meets industry and customer requirements with high performance (e.g. throughput, latency, power consumption) and acceptable cost (e.g. silicon area, calibration complexity, code size).

Principal Duties and Responsibilities:

• Applies advanced modem knowledge (e.g., RF, baseband signal processing, communication protocols) and design methodology for one area within modem hardware, systems, or firmware to execute modem assignments; participates in and shares own perspective within domain of modem subject matter expertise in design reviews and project meetings.
  

• Develops models, code, and/or simulations to test accuracy and reliability of design for less well-defined component under some supervision; identifies potential tradeoffs and makes recommendations to resolve issues; collaborates with cross-functional peers to design products that meet customer requirements and standards.
  

• Develops test environment and test cases to test/verify design for a specific component; works with peers to evaluate the impact of results and validate modem against specifications; defines the test plan.
  

• Assists with the integration of modem architecture and systems into a platform or product; helps resolve issues during implementation and commercialization with some guidance.
  

• Writes detailed technical documentation and feature descriptions to guide users and/or customers to use or implement output.

Level of Responsibility:

• Working under some supervision.
  

• Taking responsibility for own work and making decisions with limited impact; impact of decisions is readily apparent; errors made typically only impact timeline (i.e., require additional time to correct).
  

• Using verbal and written communication skills to convey information that may be somewhat complex to others who may have limited knowledge of the subject in question; may require basic negotiation and influence, cooperation, tact, and diplomacy, etc.

• Exercising creativity to draft original documents, imagery, or work products within established guidelines.
  

• Using deductive and inductive problem solving; multiple approaches may be taken/necessary to solve the problem; often information is missing or incomplete; intermediate data analysis/interpretation skills may be required.
  

• May be solicited during strategic planning period.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or related field.

2+ years of academic project experience or industry experience in at least one or more of the following areas: Communication theory, digital signal processing, information theory, channel coding, RF interfaces and digital mitigation of RF distortions, and probability and random processes.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Ability to program effectively in C/C++, Python and/or Matlab
