• 5+ years of UVM, C, System C, and scripting experience.
• 3+ years of emulation experience.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• Knowledge of UVM and Matlab.
• Knowledge of implementing chips with multiple power islands and power gating.
• Knowledge of multiple access systems including OFDMA, TDMA, and CDMA.
• Knowledge of end-to-end network system architecture from wireless physical layer to application endpoints.
• Knowledge of serial protocols including SPI, I2C, I3C, and UART.
• Knowledge of Python and Embedded C programming.
• Experience in communication theory, OFDM, MIMO, Digital/Wireless Communication Systems or RF engineering.
• Experience with current and upcoming RF standards in cellular (4G/5G), WiMAX, 802.11ad, microwave backhaul, DVB-S2 / DVB-C, or related broadband wireless standards.
• Experience leading or solely developing methodology and scripts for physical synthesis.
• Experience taping out chips that have gone into high volume production.
• Experience developing products for volume production.
• Experience low power design techniques.
• Experience delivering products to volume production.
• Experience in modem L1/L2 algorithms development and architectures.
• Experience in developing link and system level simulators using MATLAB, Python, or C++.
