Meet the team:

The Baseband Modem Design group, in HYD, is primarily responsible for designing and developing cutting-edge WIFI modem solutions which are integrated into low-power/line-powered SoCs used in Wireless-IOT products. The group is responsible for the RTL implementation of the new WIFI standards required in the IOT space market. The team actively collaborates with signal processing experts in defining the algorithms and implementing them. The team also verifies core modem functionality and works with extended Verification team to verify all the System level usecases involving the baseband modem. It also handles the pre-Si and post-Si validation.          

Responsibilities:

• Develop complex communications or signal processing blocks for wireless-IOT products. Understanding of OFDM/signal processing is strongly desired
• Collaborate with System Engineers to drive the definition of wireless blocks to meet product requirements. Proficiency in Matlab/C is strongly preferred
• Micro-architecture and RTL design of modules using Verilog/System Verilog HDL coding, adhering to quality standards.
• Prepare and hold Architecture, Design, and Verification reviews with technical staff throughout project lifecycle
• Pre-silicon verification utilizing a combination of block/chip-level test benches.
• Validation/bring-up of designs on silicon, providing support to cross-functional teams
• Apply Low-power digital circuit design concepts

 Skills required:

• Demonstrated ability to work with Systems team to micro-architect and design complex digital subsystems
• Understand Matlab algorithm implementation and translate to effective RTL micro-architectures
• Verilog RTL design with demonstrated experience of taking designs through the silicon development lifecycle to production
• Experience with logic simulators for both RTL and gate-level simulation, design/waveform browsers (like vc, Questasim), and power analysis tools
• Experience with logic synthesis, timing constraints and timing closure
• Experience in working with backend team to optimize design for power performance and area
• Experience with scripting and automation. Knowledge of Python, Perl, and Tcl
• Experience with revision control and configuration management systems (such as Perforce, Git, Methodics)
• Excellent written and verbal communications skills
• Demonstrated ability to generate high output in a self-driven manner

Experience Level:

4-6 years in Industry

Education Requirements:

Master’s /Bachelors degree in Communications/Electronics Engineering
