Executive Numerology Jobs (NOW HIRING)

GreenWave Radios is building the next generation of Cellular Infrastructure Radio solutions, and we're looking for a Staff DSP Systems Design Engineer to own end-to-end system architecture for our 5G NR and O-RAN product lines. You'll translate real-world RF and protocol requirements into silicon-level specs, working at the intersection of RF, baseband, and massive MIMO - all the way from architecture to lab validation. This is a hands-on, high-impact role at a company that ships.

• Define and own system-level architecture for cellular SoCs, including link budgets, system partitioning, mMIMO beamforming chain design, and performance trade-off analysis
• Architect and specify O-RAN compliant subsystems - define split options (7.2x, 6, 8), fronthaul interface requirements, and RU/DU functional partitioning in coordination with protocol and firmware teams
• Develop and maintain detailed system specifications covering RF front-end, baseband, clocking, power, and RF/digital interfaces, serving as the authoritative reference for IC design teams
• Build and run system simulations (RF link, mMIMO beamforming gain, interference, EVM, sensitivity, dynamic range) to validate architecture decisions before tape-out
• Lead lab bring-up and characterization of prototype hardware, including hands-on use of spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, oscilloscopes, and protocol analyzers to validate RF and system performance
• Define test plans and acceptance criteria for system-level performance, and work closely with test engineers to implement automated measurement flows in the lab
• Partner with RF, analog, digital, and firmware teams to resolve cross-domain issues discovered in simulation or lab - own the path from root cause to silicon fix
• Drive system-level compliance verification against 3GPP 5G NR and O-RAN Alliance specifications, and represent GreenWave in standards and alliance working group discussions where applicable
• Produce clear architecture documents, design review materials, and technical trade-off memos that inform product and executive decisions
• Assist in mentoring junior systems engineers; establish best practices for system modeling, specification, and lab methodology

• 8+ years of hands-on experience in wireless systems development (LTE, 5G NR)
• PhD in Electrical Engineering required
• Proficient in signal processing analysis/modeling skills with Matlab, Python or C/C++
• Strong understanding of communication theory & signal processing related algorithms design (such as timing recovery, signal estimation and detection, MIMO signal estimation and detection, automatic gain control, channel estimation, equalization, coding theory, beamforming, etc.)
• Familiar in 5G NR system architecture - PHY layer, numerology, beamforming, and massive MIMO (mMIMO) antenna system design
• Experience with O-RAN architecture: functional split options, O-RU/O-DU/O-CU definitions, fronthaul (eCPRI/CPRI) specifications, and O-RAN Alliance WG4/WG7 compliance
• Proven lab experience - comfortable operating and interpreting data from spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNAs, oscilloscopes, and RF test equipment in a prototype bring-up environment
• Hands-on experience with Cadence tools (Virtuoso, Spectre, or AWR Microwave Office) for schematic capture, simulation, or system-level modeling
• Experience authoring system-level specifications and architecture documents that drive IC design decisions
• Strong fundamentals in RF system analysis: noise figure, linearity (IIP3, P1dB), dynamic range, phase noise, spurious, and link budget methodology
• Familiarity with 3GPP 5G NR standards testing and compliance methodology (TR 38.803, TS 38.104, etc.)

• Experience with MATLAB or Python for system-level simulation, mMIMO beamforming modeling, or automated test scripting
• Exposure to mixed-signal or RFIC design in advanced CMOS nodes (28nm, 22nm, 16nm FD-SOI or FinFET)
• Familiarity with O-RAN open-source platforms or test tools (e.g., OSC, OpenAirInterface, ORAN-SC) for integration and conformance testing
• Familiarity with AI-assisted test data analysis and ML-based signal/power integrity prediction tools to catch issues earlier in the design cycle
• Experience using Claude Code or similar AI coding assistants to accelerate design scripting, simulation automation, or documentation - familiarity with agentic AI tools for engineering workflows is a genuine differentiator
• Experience applying AI to technical documentation workflows - LLM-assisted datasheet parsing, specification drafting, or design review summarization
• General comfort adopting AI-augmented workflows to boost design productivity - this is a plus, not a requirement, for the right hands-on cellular systems expert
