Principal System Architect, RF SoC (California)

Responsibilities

• Develop models and algorithms for Terawave Custom Silicon, including packet processing, MAC, PHY, and Radio Drive for lowest power consumption and highest performance.
• Target Hardware and Software algorithms for FPGA and ASIC implementation.
• Support the ASIC and SW implementation through pre‑silicon verification and post‑silicon productization.
• Design advanced digital multi‑beam beamforming phased array systems.
• Architect and model optimized RF transceivers for the TeraWave system.
• Drive block‑level RF and AMS specifications in collaboration with RFIC designers.
• Develop and model impairments compensation and system calibration methods for the Custom Silicon and Phased Array design.
• Work collaboratively with ASIC, RFIC and software implementation teams.
• Work with the application team to bring up prototype pre‑silicon and support all post‑silicon validation to confirm architecture performance.

Requirements

• 10+ years of experience in RF systems design and development.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline.
• Experience with networking, modem MAC and PHY, DSP, RF and/or mixed‑signal designs.
• Experience with Matlab, SystemC, C/C++ or other system‑level tools.
• Knowledge of DSP and communications systems including spread spectrum, forward error correction, and modulation types (OFDM, QPSK, QAM, PCM/FM, PAM).
