Understanding of communication theory and signal processing related algorithms
Experience using and understanding of the theory of operation of lab equipment (spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meter) to validate and debug wireless silicon in the lab.
Knowledge in existing wireless communication protocols: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be, LTE/WCDMA/GSM, and/or 802.11ad/ay.
Experience with Python, MATLAB, and/or C/C++ for algorithm development, modeling, simulation, and automation.
Experience with silicon prototyping, emulation systems, and virtual platforms is a plus
Advanced degree in Electrical, Wireless, Telecommunications or related field; MS or Ph.D preferred

Description

In this management role you will build and manage a team responsible for pre- and post-silicon bringup, integration, and tuning of a wireless SoC. You will hire, mentor, and provide feedback to build a world class team that functions effectively in our high performance environment. Your team will develop state-of-the-art physical layer wireless communication algorithms such as impairment mitigation, coexistence, interference mitigation, AGC and more. This will include the design and implementation of calibration algorithms for golden reference, real time operation and factory production of the wireless system. Your team, in conjunction with other domain experts, will complete the pre & post silicon bringup, validation of phy blocks, and tuning of algorithms and parameters to optimize system performance on emulation, simulation and silicon to achieve leading real world performance. To do this your team will develop and maintain a Python / Matlab based simulation, bringup, integration, and debug environment that controls the SoC, implements reference algorithms, tunes key parameters, and supports deep debug of silicon issues. You will have worked in these areas so that you can provide technical leadership to your team.
