Position Description:

This position requires communication systems and digital signal processing background. The candidate should be highly familiar with modern digital communication systems designs in the overall end-tot-end system. Knowledge of OFDM, QAM, MIMO, filter designs, and FEC blocks is a plus. The candidate will be responsible for taking an assigned block, researching literatures, running simulation, and working with engineers of other disciplines. You must have a keen interest in product development (as opposed to pure research). The end goal is to take a design to volume production, so the position will involve validating the solutions in the lab. Hands-on experience with testing is valuable.
