WSoC PHY/MAC Validation and Integration Engineer
As a WSoC integration and validation engineer, you will be responsible for the integration and optimization of physical layer (PHY) components in wireless communication systems.
Description
Your role will involve chip-level bring-up and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) implementation, collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless performance, compliance, and reliability of wireless connectivity solutions.","responsibilities":"Design, integrate and validate PHY layer components for wireless communication protocols (e.g., Bluetooth, Zigbee, UWB, etc.).
Implement and optimize DSP algorithms for signal modulation, demodulation, filtering, and error correction to enhance wireless performance.
Conduct FPGA and chip-level bring-up, including power-on testing, debug, and validation of PHY interfaces, PHY/RF/MAC functionalities and performance.
Troubleshoot and resolve integration issues at the chip level, identifying root causes and implementing solutions.
Design, execute and automate directed PHY/MAC testing scripts, which control and setup RF test equipment and RF chips.
Validate and characterize algorithms on real silicon alongside RTL, PHY, RF, MAC, and board designers.
Bring-up and take to production state-of-the-art physical layer wireless communication system algorithms for different wireless connectivity applications.
Develop and implement test plans; collect and analyze test result; identify, root-cause, and debug issues.
Preferred Qualifications
Proven experience in wireless communications, with a strong focus on PHY layer design and integration.
Solid understanding of DSP concepts and experience with implementing DSP algorithms in real-time systems.
