Research Engineer II (electrical Engineering/communications Engineering)

Research Engineer II

The Continental-NTU Corp Lab is a strategic research collaboration between NTU and Continental, focusing on developing technically advanced solutions in the areas such as sustainable materials engineering, artificial intelligence, advanced communications and cybersecurity capabilities for future urban mobility applications. We aim to develop innovative solutions that can be commercialized into products and services for Continental through close collaboration with its business units.

We are looking for a Research Engineer II to support the development of powerline communication (PLC) systems for in-vehicle applications. The successful candidate will work on modeling and simulation of PLC channels, designing OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and spread-spectrum communication systems, and analyzing the impact of noise, interference, and EMC limits on communication performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model and simulate PLC channel transfer functions in vehicle powerline networks.
• Develop and implement OFDMA systems with optimized bit- and power-loading for high-rate data communication.
• Explore spread-spectrum communication techniques with state-of-the-art codes for secure C&C signals.
• Analyze the impact of DC powerline bandwidth, power fluctuations, signal attenuation, and EMC limits on communication performance.
• Work with EMC research teammate to develop prototypes that meet system requirements.

Job Requirements:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or related fields.
• Strong background in communication systems, signal processing, and powerline communication.
• Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, or similar simulation tools.
• Knowledge of OFDMA and Spread Spectrum and their application to PLC systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
