• RF & fast prototyping of 5G and IEEE 802 wireless systems and/or use cases
• Multimedia standards and technology including VR, HDR, All-IP delivery
• IoT standards and Smart Home connectivity/sensing technology

Position Summary: Join the SMI lab of Samsung Research America in Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto locations to contribute to 6G cellular communication research on MIMO and beamforming, and pre-standardization on radio access, system & protocol, etc. You will also contribute to building 6G prototype systems as a system engineer.

Position Responsibilities:

• Design features for next generation wireless communication products, and develop requirements
• Develop new proposals for protocol stack, air interface, air algorithm and/or modem algorithm for wireless products to improve customer experiences and/or to reduce cost/complexity/power
• Contribute to wireless system-level and link-level simulation evaluations involving MIMO and beamforming, to quantify performance gain of new proposals against baseline schemes
• Contribute to technical conferences and/or standards meetings
• Write technical specifications and/or technical reports
• Write patents, and contribute to Samsung’s IPR portfolio
• Collaborate with global team members of diverse disciplines to jointly contribute to Samsung’s product innovation

Required Skills:

• PhD in EE/ECE or equivalent combination of education, training, and experience
• The preferred candidate will have 1+ years of industry experience and good understanding of advanced radio access technologies such as MIMO, OFDM, OFDMA, and Single Carrier FDMA physical layers and/or MAC layers
• Working understanding of the systems engineering and architecture concepts of advanced mobile cellular networks
• Proven skills in the system-level simulation of cellular network technologies, to derive tradeoffs and to predict performance in diverse channel conditions
• Solid knowledge of multiple antenna (MIMO) technologies and digital signal processing
• Hands-on MATLAB, C++, Python coding skills
• IEEE 802, O-RAN and/or 3GPP standards knowledge, experience desired
• Experience in advanced receiver algorithms and link level simulations
• Experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms and software tools
• Ability to clearly define high level requirements and criteria to be used in the evaluation of air interface technology alternatives
• Ability to generate clear and organized technical submissions (presentations as well as contribution text documents) for standards-bodies
• Excellent verbal communication skills to effectively represent the derived results and technical concepts developed in the course of the work
