GENERAL SUMMARY

Will be involved in design and verification of 5G baseband modem prototype platform. Responsibilities will include top level and block level verification including test bench generation, test vector generation from system models, as well as functional simulation. May also get involved in FPGA synthesis, test environment scripting, functional verification through modeling, and on target validation. Also responsible for writing test environment specifications and design reviews, functional test plans, programming reference manuals and random constraint definitions where appropriate. Will need to interact directly with systems, firmware and hardware design engineers.Minimum Qualifications- Bachelors in Electrical EngineeringPreferred Qualifications – Strong skills in high level design language (VHDL or Verilog) and industry standard verification methodologies.- Experience in FPGA design flows including design partitioning, synthesis, verification and timing closure.- Experience with functional verification utilizing high level methodologies (SystemC, C++, system verilog) andscripting.- Must have familiarity with the design of wireless air interfaces and digital signal processing algorithms, systemon chip (soc) architectures, as well as memory and processor subsystems.- Effective communications skills are essential.- Demonstrable experience in designing 3GPP and/or WIFI wireless standards-based modules is highlydesirable.- Exposure to system modeling using MATLAB and/or C++ in conjunction with Python scripting is a plus.- Experience with Xilinx FPGA development tools and IP is also desirable.PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS:Frequently transports between offices, buildings, and campuses up to ½ mile.Frequently transports and installs equipment up to 5 lbs.Performs required tasks at various heights (e.g., standing or sitting).Monitors and utilizes computers and test equipment for more than 6 hours a day.Continuous communication which includes the comprehension of information with colleagues, customers, and vendors both in person and remotely.
