• In-depth understanding of Hdl coding in Vhdl, Verilog and System Verilog
• Pin and Timing Constraints management
• Demonstrated ability to debug complex Fpg designs in system
• Ability to implement and debug complex high-speed architectures like Jesd204c, 2.5g, 10g, 40g, 100g Ethernet.
• Ability to implement and debug Vita-49 transport layer in a system.
• Communications systems, associated algorithms and their design. This includes an understanding of Rf filters, signal modulation/demodulation, channel equalization/channel estimation, channel coding (Fec), Rf signal acquisition, Rf frequency control (Afc), Rf gain control (Agc)
• Dsp baseband signal processing and task scheduling
• Dsp Peripheral programming and control
• Programming Dsp and Fpg devices using Python, C/C++, Matlab/Simulink and Vhdl
• Self-starter who likes working in a team environment

Any of These Qualifications Would Be Nice to Have:

• Interpreting and implementing wireless standards such as 3gpp (Lte, Wcdma, Gsm), Ieee 802.11 (Wifi) and Ieee 802.15 (Uwb, Zigbee)
• Mixed signal requirements including quantization bits, dynamic range (Sfdr), power consumption and the design of baseband equivalent models. Experience designing solutions to overcome imperfections in the Rf signal path
• Demonstrated ability in bringing up custom hardware with Fpgs or Socs
• Experience with Soc's such as Ultrascale +, Zynq 7000, Agilex, etc.
• Experience with softcore processors such as Picoblaze, Microblaze, Nios
