  • 3+ years experience with test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, emulators, digital multimeters)
  • 5+ years of experience with testing frameworks and debugging tools
  • Ability to obtain an Interim Secret clearance is sufficient to start

Nice to have

  • Experience designing cost- and size-sensitive baseband hardware for commercial, cellular, or defense applications
  • Experience with high-reliability design for aerospace or defense applications
  • Experience designing for medium-rate production (up to thousands per year)
  • Understanding of RF communication systems and digital signal processing, and ability to translate these into hardware requirements for data converters, processing, and RF performance
  • Experience with NXP i.MX or similar processors
  • Experience with baseband processors
  • Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGAs, MPSoCs, or ACAPs
  • Experience with ADI transceivers
  • Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition
  • Experience with Altium
  • Experience with SERDES (e.g., PCIe Gen 2+)
