About NXP Semiconductors
NXP Semiconductors is hiring in Pune Division in semiconductors electronics. This role looks for around 8+ years of experience.
The role
A principal wireless systems engineer role at semiconductor and electronics manufacturing company NXP Semiconductors involves designing and validating transceiver DSP architecture for next-generation Wi‑Fi chipsets, including verification, silicon bring-up, RF modeling, and PHY layer debug for production/customer issues. You will use wireless communication theory to run experiments and evaluate transmit EVM, mask, packet error rate, and interference rejection, and you will develop automation tools and software in C/C++ and MATLAB for performance evaluation and data extraction/analysis. Requirements include Signal Processing and Digital Communications fundamentals, hands-on silicon bring-up and characterization using lab equipment like spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and oscilloscopes, plus familiarity with MIMO and OFDM and IEEE 802.11 (or similar) standards. Location is in Pune Division, Maharashtra, India (work mode not stated).
Full job description
Come join NXP and be a part of this highly visible team involved in the design and validation of transceiver DSP architecture, verification, silicon bring-up, RF modeling, and support for production/customer issues related to PHY layer performance and implementation of next-generation Wi-Fi chip-sets.
Responsibilities For This Position Include, But Not Limited To
Draw concepts from wireless communication theory to devise and construct suitable experiments to test performance and identify system deficiencies with respect to physical layer metrics like transmit EVM, mask, packet error rate, interference rejection, etc.Support the evaluation and debug effort as silicon is characterized via various cycles of quality assurance all the way through productionEvaluate results, identify root-cause deficiencies, and develop improvements to design wherever applicableDevelop automation tools and/or software using C/C++ or similar programming language to automate performance evaluation and data extraction and analysisSupport PHY layer algorithm design and bit-true verification with the digital team
