Jobbeschreibung

In your role as an RF SoC Architect you will be part of a best-in‑class RF Cellular Team and define and develop RF Transceiver SoCs for 6G Cellular products. You will work closely with other Cellular Modem and RF system engineering as well as Hardware and Firmware design teams. Your challenge and primary responsibility will be to define key aspects of the real‑time control architecture of our future RF transceiver roadmap.

Responsibilities

• Model and analyse system use cases states and sequence charts and create a matching SoC architecture.
• Break down system requirements into a balanced hardware and software partitioning.
• Ensure SoC architectures scale over various product variants and versions.
• Co‑define the functional split between cellular baseband RF transceiver and RF frontend down to the antenna to achieve best‑in‑class modem important metrics.

Qualifications & Experience

• Several years of expertise in SoC architecture for embedded systems in particular including CPU memory bus fabric and peripherals architectures – expertise in RISC‑V SoCs is appreciated.
• Proficient knowledge in digital communications – preferably in cellular / 5G or any other wireless technology.
• Strong understanding of real‑time system design, parallel computing and the PPA trade‑offs of digital circuits.
• You like to work cross‑functionally with colleagues in multiple sites and time zones including regular international travel.
• Bachelors or Masters or higher degree in Electrical Engineering / Communication Engineering or similar with extensive years of working experience or a PhD in a relevant field with several years of working experience.
• Experience in SoC modelling (e.g. SystemC) HW description (e.g. VHDL, Verilog) and embedded SW design is a big advantage.
• Basic knowledge of standards used in communications technology like 3GPP, ITU, MIPI and IEEE is a plus.
• Strong interests in problem‑solving, a demeanor to convince people of their ideas as well as a willingness to explore novel technical directions are advantages.
