Description

In this role, you will be part of an industrial-leading RF Transmitter Systems Engineering team. You will work closely with other architecture- and systems engineering teams, RF design teams and SW teams to assess, specify and drive transmitter concepts with focus on leading-edge performance and uncompromised quality as baseline for differentiating products.

Minimum Qualifications

BS and a minimum of 10 years relevant industry experience

5+ years of RF transceiver design experience for cellular systems, with a focus on transmit architectures

Expert knowledge of communication transmitters (cellular FR1 and FR2, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth), including TX lineup design and component-level trade-offs (gain, linearity, noise, power, thermal), with proven ownership of TX performance metrics (ACLR, EVM, spurious emissions, spectrum masks).

Working knowledge of TX system-level concepts and control procedures, such as power control, digital predistortion (DPD), and envelope tracking (ET).

Thorough knowledge of 3GPP cellular standards (LTE/LTE-A, 5G NR), including TX waveforms, RF requirements, and system use cases.

Strong expertise in machine learning, with deep theoretical fundamentals in classical methods (clustering, dimensionality reduction), neural networks, and supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning.

Proven record of applying machine learning to RF problems such as calibration, linearization (e.g., DPD), or modeling, with a solid understanding of trade-offs (model complexity, data requirements, generalization, interpretability, computational cost on embedded hardware).

Strong analytical skills and the ability to collaborate in multicultural, global teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiar with mmWave architectures, phased array systems and related control concepts.

Knowledge and experience in communication systems with a focus on the physical layer (e.g., modulation and coding, OFDM, channel estimation, link-level performance).

Background in digital signal processing.

Understanding of SoC integration constraints and multi-chip RF architectures.
