Lte Engineer information

What is an LTE engineer?

LTE Engineers are telecommunications professionals who specialize in designing, implementing, optimizing, and maintaining Long Term Evolution (LTE) wireless networks. They ensure that mobile networks provide reliable, high-speed data and voice services to users. Their work involves configuring network equipment, troubleshooting issues, and optimizing network performance to meet industry standards. LTE Engineers may also collaborate with vendors and other engineers to plan and upgrade network infrastructure as technology evolves.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an LTE engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as an LTE Engineer, you need a solid background in telecommunications, radio frequency (RF) engineering, and network protocols, often supported by a degree in electrical engineering or a related field. Proficiency with tools such as LTE test equipment, network simulators, and planning software (e.g., Atoll, TEMS), as well as relevant certifications like CCNA or 3GPP standards knowledge, is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, teamwork, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for diagnosing network issues and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills and qualifications are essential to ensure optimal network performance, efficient troubleshooting, and successful deployment of LTE technologies.

What are some of the biggest challenges LTE engineers face when optimizing network performance?

LTE Engineers often encounter challenges such as managing network congestion, ensuring seamless handovers between cells, and minimizing dropped calls or data interruptions. Balancing bandwidth allocation and optimizing coverage while integrating new technologies like VoLTE can also be demanding. Collaboration with field technicians, RF engineers, and network planners is essential to address these issues and maintain a high-quality user experience.

Job description

Position Title: Senior Principal Field Programmable Gate Array & Digital Signal Processing Engineer

Location: Hybrid, in office in Alexandria, VA

Clearance Requirement: TS/SCI

Employment Type: Full Time

Research Innovations, Inc. (RII) is breaking through the big, slow status quo with transformative technology that fundamentally improves the world. We build advanced software solutions for government and military missions, applying agile development and user-centered design to solve complex, mission-critical problems.

Dragonfly is redefining tactical SIGINT and Electronic Warfare by combining advanced RF sensing, GPU-accelerated processing, artificial intelligence, and high-performance FPGA architectures into a portable, mission-ready platform. As the Principal FPGA & DSP Engineer, you will serve as the technical leader responsible for designing and delivering the next generation of real-time FPGA-based signal processing capabilities that enable rapid spectrum awareness, signal exploitation, and electronic warfare operations. Working closely with hardware, software, AI, and RF engineering teams, you will architect high-performance firmware solutions that transform advanced algorithms into deployable capabilities supporting the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, and allied mission partners.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

  • Lead the FPGA firmware architecture for Dragonfly, defining the optimal partitioning of signal processing across FPGA, GPU, and CPU to meet mission latency, throughput, and SWaP requirements.

  • Migrate GPU-based digital signal processing algorithms into efficient FPGA implementations, including floating-to-fixed point conversion, quantization analysis, word-length optimization, and bit-accurate verification.

  • Design reusable, portable FPGA IP that supports multiple AMD/Xilinx platforms including RFSoC, Versal, UltraScale+, and Zynq.

  • Develop real-time FPGA implementations for advanced RF signal processing including digital down conversion, filtering, FFTs, channelization, synchronization, demodulation, and protocol exploitation.

  • Implement and optimize wireless protocol processing for technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, LoRa, LTE, and 5G NR.

  • Develop FPGA capabilities supporting direction finding (DF), beamforming, geolocation, and multi-channel phase-coherent signal processing.

  • Establish FPGA verification methodologies including simulation, automated regression testing, timing closure, hardware validation, and over-the-air testing.

  • Support hardware bring-up, integration, production validation, and field testing of Dragonfly systems.

  • Serve as the technical authority for FPGA firmware and DSP architecture, conducting design reviews, mentoring engineers, and establishing engineering best practices.

  • Contribute to product roadmap development, customer engagements, technical proposals, IRAD efforts, and emerging EW/SIGINT capability development.

WHAT YOU HAVE DONE

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field; Master's or PhD preferred.

  • 10+ years of FPGA development experience supporting RF, SDR, SIGINT, radar, wireless communications, or Electronic Warfare systems.

  • Demonstrated ownership of FPGA architecture from concept through deployed production systems.

  • Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain or maintain TS/SCI preferred.

  • Expert proficiency with VHDL and/or SystemVerilog, RTL design, pipelining, finite state machines, clock domain crossing, and timing closure.

  • Extensive experience with AMD/Xilinx development tools including Vivado, Vitis, Vitis HLS, and RFSoC or Versal platforms.

  • Strong background in digital signal processing including FFTs, digital down/up conversion, FIR/IIR/CIC filters, multirate processing, fixed-point design, CORDIC, and AGC.

  • Experience implementing high-speed interfaces including AXI, PCIe, Ethernet, DDR memory, Aurora, and JESD204B/C.

  • Proficiency with MATLAB and/or Python for algorithm development and hardware verification, along with C/C++ development in Linux environments.

  • Experience with FPGA simulation, debugging, board bring-up, and RF laboratory validation using industry-standard tools.

  • Familiarity with Git, Agile development methodologies, and cross-functional hardware/software engineering teams.

EVEN BETTER

  • Experience developing CUDA or GPU-based DSP algorithms and migrating them to FPGA implementations.

  • Experience implementing beamforming, direction finding, geolocation, MUSIC/ESPRIT, TDOA, or FDOA algorithms.

  • Knowledge of LTE, 5G NR, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth/BLE, LoRa, or other modern communications waveforms.

  • Experience with High-Level Synthesis (HLS), Simulink, MATLAB HDL Coder, or Model Composer.

  • Familiarity with RFNoC, GNU Radio, OpenCPI, SOSA, or CMOSS architectures.
