Job description

Hardware Engineer - Baseband
3 yr contract
Secret Clearance
This engineer will support the development and testing of baseband hardware and PCBAs for Tactical Edge Communications. The hardware in question is highly SWaP-C constrained and spans RF to digitization. The first 3-6 months of the role will be primarily in the lab testing and debugging existing hardware, and then the role transitions into more design work for follow-up hardware in different form factors and configurations, so a strong background in design and test are both relevant. Responsibilities:
- Test and debug of miniature hardware spanning RF front-end, transceivers, SoCs, baseband processors
- Design of communication hardware targeting miniature form-factors
- Writing and support of design validation and test plans
- Collaboration with RF engineers, software engineers, mechanical engineers, and waveform analysts Required Skills:
- Experience with the part selection, schematic capture, layout, and test of complex mixed-signal boards targeting SoCs or FPGAs with all relevant clocking, power, and high-rate interfaces
- Experience working in desktop and embedded Linux
- Experience with one or more scripting/embedded programming languages such as Python, C/C++, or Bash
- Experience with typical lab equipment including high-speed oscilloscopes, bench power supplies, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators
- Bachelors Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or similar
- Experience working on cross-disciplinary teams with Mechanical and RF engineers Nice-to-have:
- Experience designing cost- and size-sensitive baseband hardware for commercial, cellular, or military applications
- Experience with high-reliability design for aerospace and military applications
- Experience with designing for medium-rate production up to 1000s / year
- Understanding of RF communication systems and digital signal processing, and ability to translate these to hardware requirements for sampling data converters, data processing, and RF performance
- Experience with NXP i.MX processors and similar
- Experience with NXP baseband processors
- Experience with Xilinx/AMD FPGAs, MPSoCs, and ACAPs
- Experience with ADI transceivers
- Experience with Mentor Graphics Xpedition
- Experience with Altium
- Experience with SERDES including PCIe Gen 2+
- Experience with DDR such as LPDDR5
