In this role you will:
Implement wireless system architecture in silicon from system specification to chip specification to RTL to optimizing timing / power to chip level validation
Develop solutions optimizing customer experience (throughput, latency, and availability) while meeting power and cost constraints
Drive high quality designs for first-time right silicon solutions, and meeting the power objectives
Create standalone verification test bench to verify the correctness of your block
Work with the verification team and participate in System level verification using test benches constructed using UVM, System C and DPI-C
Ensure that the block meets DFT, timing and power targets by working closely with the implementation team
Learn about requirements and solutions for systems operating in space
Drive trade-off analysis to benefit customer experience and optimization of resources (costs, power, spectrum)
