What You’ll Do

Design & Architecture:

• Develop FPGA IP architecture for 4G/5G Radio Units.

• Contribute to system-level design aligned with 3GPP and O-RAN Alliance specifications.

Implementation:

• Implement complex RTL blocks (Verilog/SystemVerilog/VHDL) and integrate into larger systems.

• Optimize FPGA resource utilization and ensure timing closure.

Validation & Testing:

• Define and execute verification plans using UVM and advanced techniques.

• Perform simulation and system-level FPGA validation.

Collaboration:

• Work closely with Radio Unit development teams for seamless integration.

• Partner with software teams to ensure hardware-software interoperability.

• Mentor junior engineers and participate in technical reviews.

Additional Notes:

Ideal Candidate: FPGA designer engineer with Radio experience. Working with 4G/5G Radios. 7+ years of experience Heavy System Verilog and RTL experience. They DO NOT USE VHDL. Tools: Altera Quartus. Matlab/Simulink for modeling Axi and Ethernet protocol experience are more important than other high-speed experience.
