WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Lead cross-functional engineering teams (RF, hardware, and embedded software) in the design, development, and integration of high-performance Software Defined Radios (SDRs); direct DSP engineers in translating physical layer (PHY) communication algorithms into optimized software and FPGA/firmware implementations.
• Design and implement advanced wireless communication algorithms and signal processing techniques, including modulation/demodulation (e.g., QAM, OFDM), channel coding (LDPC, Polar), synchronization, equalization, and beamforming for next-generation air interfaces.
• Develop high-fidelity Modeling and Simulation (M&S) environments in MATLAB/C++ for wireless channel characterization, link-budget analysis, and end-to-end transceiver performance verification, leveraging Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing.
• Direct laboratory and over-the-air (OTA) field testing of RF communication systems, conducting real-world characterization of RF front-ends, antennas, propagation effects, and dynamic interference mitigation techniques.
• Drive the commercialization and maturation of RF systems from initial proof-of-concept prototype to deployable, production-ready wireless communication products and tactical data links.
