The team is involved in all parts of the product development process; technical studies, research, pre-development and designs for high volume products.
The main technical responsibility for the team is the antenna near signal processing blocks implemented in ASIC, FPGA and/or structured ASIC circuits.
Job Description
Your main responsibility is to implement advanced signal processing algorithms in HW using description language (HDL) for our radio base stations through concept, design, modelling, analysis, implementation, and verification.

The work includes, but is not limited to:
Gathering and understanding of requirements and specifications, and translating this in effective signal processing implementations to meet the expectations from our customers
Actively participate in the Algorithm development for the RF transmitter and receiver. This includes taking part in developing, verifying and validating algorithms.
Work closely with experts and senior specialist to drive improvements, by identifying new opportunities based on expansion of existing, as well as creating new solutions
Working in a fast-paced collaborative environment developing cutting edge advanced signal processing solutions. Write technical design documentation for all your designs
Model signal processing algorithms using tools such as MATLAB 
Investigate new technologies
Advanced trouble shooting and Customer Support

 
To succeed in this role, the preferred candidate should be:
Service minded and self-motivated, with the drive to solve problems and expand ones’ knowledge
Have a creative and innovative mindset
