Requirements
- Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or related field; PhD strongly preferred
- 12+ years of experience in wireless communications system architecture for advanced SDR systems
- Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end communication signal chains, including cascaded error budgeting, quantization trade-offs, and performance modeling across RF, ADC/DAC, and DSP blocks
- Deep expertise in MIMO and multi-user spatial processing architectures
Responsibilities
- Define system architecture for next-generation multi-antenna and SDR-based communication platforms, influencing product strategy and long-term roadmap planning
- Lead technical engagement with strategic customers, representing system trade-offs, negotiating performance specifications, and aligning joint integration plans
- Architect and maintain MATLAB and analytical models capturing the full signal chain, including channel modeling, quantization noise allocation, SNR budgeting, interplay of RF non-linearities, and DSP algorithm design constraints
- Generate precise block-level specifications for digital baseband, calibration engines, channel processing, mixed-signal converters, and RF interfacing elements; ensure internal teams understand the architectural rationale behind these specifications
- Drive alignment between digital architecture, signal processing algorithms, mixed-signal circuit selections, ADC/DAC dynamic range decisions, LO/subsystem noise considerations, and thermal/power constraints
- Collaborate with validation and silicon bring-up teams to ensure post-silicon results trace back to modeled assumptions; define measurement-level KPIs and debug methodologies when deviations arise
- Provide architectural guidance to system engineers, signal processing developers, and hardware design teams; develop reusable models, internal best practices, and system-level methodologies
- Participate in internal architecture reviews, contribute to core IP innovation strategy, and represent the company in technical engagements, standards-relevant discussions, and key customer milestones
