• You will drive innovation and execution through the organisation.
• Innovate and architect the complete RF Receiver chain, from the antenna through the RF frontend to the digital baseband.
• You will translate high-level system requirements into detailed component and block-level specifications. Develop and own the detailed RF line-up analysis. This includes creating and maintaining system-level simulations using Matlab and Python, a comprehensive level plan and link budget.
• You will influence architecture decisions, perform trade-off studies, and ensure performance targets are met.
• Author detailed system and block-level specifications for internal RFIC and external RF frontend module (FEM) design partners.
• Work with other teams to drive the concept-to-product journey, ensuring successful integration, validation, and optimization of the Receiver from the architectural phase through to mass production.

• Minimum 5 years experience in Radio Receiver design.
• Demonstrated System Engineering experience in designing complex Cellular RF systems, with deep expertise in state-of-art receiver architectures.
• Demonstrated ability to influence and drive innovation and execution excellence across a organisation.
• Mastery of RF line-up analysis and detailed development of level plan for modern receiver architecture.
• Deep theoretical and practical understanding of RF system performance metrics (NF, non-linearity, phase noise, IQ imbalance) and their direct impact on overall system performance.
• In-depth understanding of 3GPP standards with focus on RF requirements and physical layer procedures.
• Proficiency in using Matlab and Python for RF system modelling and simulations.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to diverse, cross-functional global teams.
• Experience with lab bring-up, system calibration, and debugging RF hardware.

• Deep understanding of Cellular system use cases, transmit/receive interactions, and coexistence challenges in complex consumer electronics.
• Experience applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) or Machine Learning (ML) to enhance multi-objective optimisation of the RF line-up and link budget models.
• Familiarity with modern digital modem architectures.
• Familiarity with RFIC design, layout considerations, and semiconductor processes.
• MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or a related field is required.
• The minimum salary pursuant to the applicable collective bargaining agreement amounts to €66,676 gross per year for full time employment. Actual salaries are oriented at current market salaries and take your qualifications and experience into account.
