In this role, you will join a growing RF Systems Engineering team dedicated to developing and innovating highly energy-efficient, robust GNSS receiver architectures. These architectures are designed to seamlessly coexist with various co-located high-power RF technologies operating in adjacent frequency bands. You will collaborate closely with Platform Architecture, RFIC Design, and PHY teams to evaluate, design, and orchestrate RF system innovations, emphasizing outstanding performance in real-world conditions. YOUR DAILY WORK INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING TASKS: - Translate system level GNSS receiver requirements into detailed specifications for the integrated RX chain (including the breakdown to block / component level).- Select, simulate and specify RF architectures suitable for integration into a GNSS receiver SoC.- Assist with silicon debug, propose solutions, and workarounds as needed.- Drive the further development of the simulation environment and modeling.
- BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience.
- Strong background in Wireless Communications space (e.g. Connectivity, Cellular, GNSS; RF and/or PHY).
- Solid programming skills.
- MSEE or beyond is preferred.
- 10+ years of proven experience in RF/PHY system/architecture design, with emphasis on integrated SoC solutions.
- Knowledge of Wireless Transceiver Systems and RF concepts (e.g. AGC, NF, phase noise, spurs & harmonics, intermodulation, TRX calibrations).
- Design and simulation of analog/digital signal processing paths.
- Digital Signal Processing blocks (e.g. decimation, filtering, resampling, IQ correction).
- Wireless communications system modeling (e.g. Matlab, ADS, C++).
- Balanced combination of innovation demeanor and understanding of practical constraints of product development.
- Excellent communication skills, both written & verbal especially in a multi-functional environment.
