5G Cellular Systems Engineer, Staff

Company:

Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.

Job Area:

Engineering Group, Engineering Group > Systems Engineering

General Summary:

Qualcomm Government Technologies (QGOV) is a unique division within Qualcomm that partners with the U.S. Government to bring the latest in new and innovative commercial technologies to the government space. QGOV is seeking an experienced 5G cellular systems engineer to architect solutions incorporating commercial Qualcomm System on Chip (SoC) processors into U.S. Government applications. The ideal candidate has strong cellular (5G) knowledge from theory to hands on experience, including protocol knowledge in the air interface (from L1 PHY to L2/L3 upper layers) across both network and UE perspectives; a strong communication theory background is highly desirable along with expertise in cellular modem signal processing (mod/demod, channel estimation, error correction, synchronization, filtering, scheduling, MIMO/beamforming, waveform design, IQ sample processing). The role also requires experience/expertise in running simulations to determine link budget, performance and tradeoffs for novel solutions (using Matlab and other tools). A successful applicant must have excellent interpersonal, teamwork and organizational skills, as well as proven skills generating system design documentation and comfortable navigating through 3GPP standards to understand the tradeoffs in modem architecture design vs implementation.

***Must be a U.S. citizen and eligible for a U.S. Government security clearance***

Skills and Experience:

· Strong knowledge of cellular (5G NR) PHY/MAC/RLC/PDCP and upper layers along with a strong understanding of RF principles including MIMO techniques

· Familiarity with 3GPP protocol standards, 5G/5G Advanced

· Strong in Communication Theory, algorithms as it pertains to 5G, signal processing

· Experience in understanding how cellular modems work, and ability to proficiently write simulation code across various modem subsystems and layers

· Ability to effectively work with multi-functional engineering teams
