Engineer

Overview

Join the WLAN MAC Systems team to develop and implement MAC layer protocols based on IEEE 802.11 standards, including 802.11ax, 802.11ac and legacy wireless technologies.

What you'll do

• Design, develop, enhance and maintain WLAN L-MAC firmware using custom assembly language.
• Architect and implement system-level power optimization techniques to improve performance and energy efficiency.
• Perform pre-silicon MAC layer verification using scripting languages such as Python and Tcl, and validate functionality in simulation environments.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including PHY Systems, Firmware Development and Hardware Design, to define, document and verify L-MAC interfaces.
• Support silicon bring-up activities and ensure achievement of key MAC performance indicators (KPIs).
• Investigate, debug and resolve complex customer issues spanning WLAN MAC, PHY and chipset domains, with a strong focus on root-cause analysis and solution delivery.

What you'll need

• Strong foundation in wireless communication systems and embedded systems design/programming.
• Hands-on experience with assembly language and C programming.
• Proficient in debugging C applications, including the use of GDB, crash analysis and stack trace investigation.
• Good understanding of Wi-Fi debugging tools such as Wireshark and related network analysis utilities.
• Strong communication, presentation and interpersonal skills with the ability to convey technical concepts clearly.
• Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively within large, global, cross-functional teams.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with IEEE 802.11 wireless standards.
• Knowledge of scripting and modeling languages such as Tcl, Python or SystemC.
