Job description

This engineer will support the development and testing of baseband hardware and PCBAs for Tactical Edge Communications. The hardware in question is highly SWaP-C constrained and spans RF to digitization. The first 3-6 months of the role will be primarily in the lab testing and debugging existing hardware, and then the role transitions into more design work for follow-up hardware in different form factors and configurations, so a strong background in design and test are both relevant., Test and debug of miniature hardware spanning RF front-end, transceivers, SoCs, baseband processors

Design of communication hardware targeting miniature form-factors
Writing and support of design validation and test plans
Collaboration with RF engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, and waveform analysts

Requirements

Experience with the part selection, schematic capture, layout, and test of complex mixed-signal boards targeting SoCs or FPGAs with all relevant clocking, power, and high-rate interfaces

Experience working in desktop and embedded Linux
Experience with one or more scripting/embedded programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or Bash
Experience with typical lab equipment including high-speed oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar
Experience working on cross-disciplinary teams with Mechanical and RF engineers

Nice-to-have:

Experience designing cost- and size-sensitive baseband hardware for commercial, cellular, or military applications
Experience with high-reliability design for aerospace and military applications
Experience with designing for medium-rate production up to 1000s / year
Understanding of RF communication systems and digital signal processing, and ability to translate these to hardware requirements for sampling data converters, data processing, and RF performance
Experience with NXP i.MX processors and similar
Experience with NXP baseband processors
Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGAs, MPSoCs, and ACAPs
Experience with ADI transceivers
Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition
Experience with Altium
Experience with SERDES including PCIe Gen 2+
Experience with DDR such as LPDDR5
