JOB DESCRIPTION: Senior Principal Engineer, Communications Systems Design
This is a technical leadership role for Communications Systems and Algorithms development as per the need of Automotive Ethernet PHY Designs. Job will entail
(1) developing understanding of the IEEE 802.3 Standards,
(2) developing an end to end simulation models (using MATLAB, SIMULINK, C/C++ etc.) to evaluate end to end PHY performance of two PHYs connected over UTP possibly including one or more connectors, in presence of channel loss/attenuation/reflection, noise and other impairments including cross-talk, EMI etc. present inside a car,
(3) developing bit accurate C Models for various blocks for the Transmitter and the Receiver,
(4) developing Communications Systems level specifications for the benefit of Analog Design (AFE Design), SoC architecture, DSP
Firmware and Technical/Product Marketing teams, capturing those in documents to communicate what needs to be implemented in the product by making presentations and even providing tutorials as appropriate.
The candidate preferably should have hands-on experience on most of the communications systems at the level of building blocks of an end-to-end high data rate broadband wireline or wireless communications systems and/or high speed SerDes.
