Job Details

Overview

Project Kuiper is an initiative to launch a constellation of Low Earth Orbit satellites that will provide low‑latency, high‑speed broadband connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world.

Role

As a Digital RF Systems Engineer working on the DBF Platform Software team you will be implementing, validating, and testing end‑to‑end system models including fixed point DSP blocks, RF impairments of the radio, phased array antenna and satellite channel. You will be involved in novel techniques to estimate and correct RF impairments that will be implemented in HW and FW. Based on the system level constraints such as low power and cost, you will develop validation techniques and optimized solutions to support high throughput for our customers.

Responsibilities

• Design, model, and test DSP algorithms such as beamforming, MIMO, DPD, CFR, digital cancellation schemes and RF impairment compensation
• Model RF transceivers impairments and develop RF impairment compensation and testing algorithms
• Collaborate with RTL/RFIC designers, communication systems and software engineers to drive chip and system specifications
• Develop and optimize HW/SW calibration algorithms for RF SOC and phased array systems
• Architect HW and FW partitioning of calibration algorithms
• Develop detailed test plans and test procedures for pre‑silicon, help with design verification as well as post silicon validation, integration and characterization of RF Wireless SOC performance
• Involve in chip bring‑up in the lab and optimize conducted and/or OTA throughput performances by collaborating with cross functional teams

Export Control Requirement

Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum.

Basic Qualifications

• Experience with Java, C++, or other programming language, as well as with R, MATLAB, Python, or an equivalent scripting language
• Master's degree or equivalent, or experience in wireless system design and architecture, system integration, and RF system analysis
• 5+ years of relevant experience in wireless DSP/RF systems engineering (LTE, 5G‑NR, WiFi 802.11, BLE)
• In‑depth knowledge of DSP design for low power consumption ASIC
• Solid understanding of OFDM, AGC, beamforming algorithms, MIMO, channel estimation, equalization techniques
• Solid understanding of RF blocks and components. Experience in RF impairment estimation and compensation techniques
• Working knowledge of FW implementation of various DSP algorithms
• Experience in using lab equipment, bring‑up and validation of chip

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical or Communications Engineering or a related field
• Experience with formal verification techniques including abstraction and end‑to‑end checking
• Experience with ARM and various DSP ISAs
• Experience with current and upcoming RF standards in cellular (4G/5G NR), WiMAX, 802.11ad, microwave backhaul, or related broadband wireless standards
• Experience with industry standard tools and scripting languages (Python or Perl) for automation
