Job summary

Ad Astra Consultants is seeking an experienced FPGA design engineer to lead development of wireless communications hardware. You will implement FPGA logic, synthesize designs, and work on DSP blocks for radio functions within RF front-ends and baseband modules.

Requires 8+ years in FPGA logic design for RAN products, strong Verilog/VHDL skills, experience with Modelsim/Vivado/Quartus, and familiarity with O-RAN/CPRI interfaces and high-speed serial protocols.

Qualifications

• 8+ Yrs of Experience of FPGA logic design within a commercial environment for RAN Products (This is a MUST).
• Strong knowledge on digital design and excellent Verilog/VHDL coding skills.
• Experience with Modelsim, Vivado, Quartus tools for simulation and timing closure.
• Experience of developing and implementation of DSP designs for Radio within FPGAs.
• Good understanding of CPRI, channel filters, DUC, DDC, CFR, DPD, AGC, FFT, IFFT, PRACH, PDSCH, PUSCH, beamforming concepts.
• Experience in implementing and debugging Multi-gigabit designs (10/25 GB/s Ethernet, JESD204, or similar) packet data processing and routing.
• Working experience with O-RAN/CPRI interface design is a must.
• Experience and knowledge of modelling tools such as Matlab and Simulink.
• Knowledge and experience of remote radio or baseband signal processing (UMTS, WiMAX, LTE, 5G) or equivalent.
• Experience in developing and debugging combined hardware and software products within a multi-disciplinary team environment.

Responsibilities

• The development of wireless communications equipment or any other product opportunities identified.
• FPGA code development to support product functions.
• Bug fixing of existing firmware code base based on the bug reported by QA and field team.
• Proof of functionality via functional test-benches and synthesis tool timing closure.
• Develop and carry out firmware and hardware tests.
• Documentation and support of designs within a project environment.
