DSP Engineer (US Citizenship)

Technical-Link N. America; San Jose (CA); On-site; USD 150,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Technical-Link N. America seeks a senior signal processing and modem design engineer to develop models for Custom Silicon. You will implement DSP/PHY algorithms in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++, and drive fixed-point optimization for FPGA and ASIC.

The role covers floating-point to bit-accurate verification, collaboration with ASIC/RFIC/SW teams, and a focus on power efficiency and peak performance across system models, RTL/FPGA, and silicon.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in signal processing or modem design and development.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• Experience with PHY, DSP, beamforming, RF and/or mixed-signal designs.
• Strong hands-on programming experience in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ for DSP/communications algorithm development.
• Experience with floating-point and fixed-point modeling, bit-accurate implementation, and algorithm optimization.
• Experience with MATLAB, SystemC, C/C++ or other system-level modeling tools.
• Knowledge of DSP and communications systems, filters.

Responsibilities

• Develop models and algorithms for our Custom Silicon.
• Hands-on development and implementation of DSP/PHY algorithms using MATLAB, Python, and C/C++.
• Take algorithms from floating-point modeling through fixed-point implementation and bit-accurate verification.
• Drive for lowest power consumption and highest performance.
• Target algorithms for FPGA and ASIC implementation, including fixed-point optimization, word-length analysis, and implementation tradeoffs.
• Support the ASIC implementation through pre-silicon verification.
• Design advanced digital end-to-end communication systems.
• Develop and model channel impairment models.
• Work collaboratively with ASIC, RFIC, and SW implementation teams.
• Work with the application team to bring up prototype pre-silicon platforms and support post-silicon validation of architecture and algorithm performance.
• Debug and correlate algorithm performance across system models, RTL/FPGA, and silicon.
