Role Purpose:

Duties and Responsibilities: 

• Design and simulate #algorithms for modulation, demodulation, error correction, equalization, synchronization and frequency offset correction in single carrier and multiple carrier   wireless communication systems    
• Design and simulate full modem for #wireless communication systems, ensuring optimal performance in terms of bandwidth efficiency, signal-to-noise ratio (#SNR), and error resilience
• Investigate on advanced signal processing techniques to improve waveform efficiency, error correction, and robustness in wireless communication                                                                                       
• Implement digital signal processing (#DSP) algorithms
• #Simulate and validate waveform algorithms using software tools such as #MATLAB, #Simulink, or #C++
• Conduct performance testing in various communication channel models (e.g., fading, noise, interference) to ensure robust and reliable modem operation
• Work with cross-functional teams to integrate algorithms into the overall modem architecture
• Document algorithm design, performance analysis, and testing procedures
• Prepare detailed reports and presentations to communicate progress, findings, and recommendations to both technical and non-technical stakeholders                                                                                   
• Collaborate closely with #WF architect, hardware engineers, and other software developers to ensure seamless integration of algorithms into modem systems
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and troubleshooting sessions
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink, C++/Python, or similar tools for algorithm development and simulation
• Experience with hardware implementation of algorithms (e.g., #FPGA, #ASIC) is highly desirable
• Knowledge of communication channel models, including fading, interference, and noise characterization
• Familiarity with communication #system performance metrics (e.g., #BER, #SNR, #throughput).                                                

Main Requirements:

• 15+ years of working experience on design and #modeling of algorithms for wireless communication systems (5G, #Wifi, #WiMax, Tactical radio, etc)          
• Hands-on experience in designing and optimizing waveform algorithms for wireless communication systems
• Strong theoretical background on wireless digital communication systems.
• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Computer Science, or a related field. A Ph.D. is a plus.

As an Ideal Candidate we expect you to have:

• Ability to prioritize and manage multiple tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong problem-solving abilities and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work in a cross-disciplinary team.
