• Test performance across channel models (fading, noise, interference) using MATLAB, Simulink or Python

• Optimize algorithms for real-time hardware implementation (FPGA/DSP)

• Collaborate cross-functionally on modem integration, design reviews and stakeholder reporting

Education and Minimum Qualification

• 12+ years developing algorithms for wireless communication modems (e.g., 5G, WiFi, WiMax)

• Hands-on waveform optimization experience with strong grasp of comms standards/protocols

• Master's in EE, Telecom, CS or related (PhD a plus)

Key Skills

• Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink, C++/Python, with FPGA/ASIC hardware implementation exposure

• Strong grounding in channel modeling and performance metrics (BER, SNR, throughput)
