Applicants will need to be experienced with digital PHY architecture and DSP design suitable for 802.11 protocols on advanced low-power process nodes. Your day-to-day will involve RTL design and simulation using contemporary languages and tools. You’ll work closely with the rest of the team on-site to address and improve digital and system aspects of the design. You’ll also help with bringup of the PHY on silicon, evaluate performance of pre-production silicon and take your design to high-volume mass production.
We are open to sponsoring a work visa for the right candidate.
Your responsibilities would include:
-802.11ah PHY development in Scala, SystemVeriliog and C -Implementation of custom instructions in RISC-V architectures -Functional verification of 802.11ah PHY in RTL simulators, SDF-annotated gate level simulators and AMS simulators using SystemVerilog, Verilog-A, Matlab, C and Python -Work closely with the Systems team to achieve the best performance -Work closely with the Analog & RF to define and improve radio interface -Work closely with the Firmware team to develop embedded PHY firmware -Assist with bring-up of silicon in the lab & debug PHY performance -Provide overall technical expertise and brilliance
To be successful in this role, the ideal candidate would have the following skills and experience:
Essential skills (you must have):
-MSc in Electrical / Electronics / Communication Engineering or Computer Science -8+ years experience as a PHY IC Design Engineer -Proven experience developing multiple blocks of 802.11 PHYs in complex SoCs -A deep understanding of the IEEE 802.11 PHY layer and familiarity with 802.11ah -A deep understanding of digital design fundamentals including low power and multi-clock-domain design -Hands-on experience with the Cadence or Synopsys simulation suite -Hands-on experience with Linux development environment staples such as make, shell scripts and Python -Excellent verbal and written communication skills -Proven to work constructively within your team and among other groups -Strong analytical and problem-solving skills -A determination to deliver even when subject to time pressures -A hands-on, practical attitude
Bonus skills (these will make you stand out in your application):
-Proven experience performing phy bringup, debug and performance measurement on silicon in the lab -A good understanding of embedded processors, familiarity with RISC-V is a plus -A solid understanding of mixed signal ASIC design and simulation -Experience using the git revision control tool -Experience with development and debugging of digital designs from RTL design through to SDF-annotated gatesims
