Responsibilities
Implement wireless system architecture in silicon from system specification to chip specification to RTL to optimizing timing/power to chip level validation.
Develop solutions optimizing customer experience (throughput, latency, and availability) while meeting power and cost constraints.
Drive high quality designs for first‑time‑right silicon solutions, and meeting the power objectives.
Create standalone verification test bench to verify the correctness of your block.
Work with the verification team and participate in system level verification using test benches constructed with UVM, System C and DPI‑C.
Ensure that the block meets DFT, timing and power targets by working closely with the implementation team.
Learn about requirements and solutions for systems operating in space.
Drive trade‑off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs, power, spectrum).
Export Control Requirement
Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.
Basic Qualifications
