Digital System Engineer

About the Role

We are looking for a Digital System Engineer to join our engineering team, working on the design,
integration and verification of digital sub-systems in our advanced wireless products. In this role you will
work closely with RF, antenna, firmware, and software teams to define and implement digital
architectures that meet demanding performance requirements for next-generation communication
systems, including 5G NR FR2/mmWave and satellite communication systems. You will play a key part in
bridging system-level requirements to software and digital hardware implementation.

Responsibilities

• Define and specify digital system architecture, including interfaces between baseband, RF front-end, and
control/data-plane subsystems supporting beamforming, calibration, and RF control
• Collaborate with RF/antenna engineers to translate system-level requirements (e.g., 3GPP 5G NR
specifications, satellite communication standards) into digital implementation requirements
• Develop RTL design blocks and support verification environments, including UVM-based testbenches, for
digital blocks
• Use EDA tools for simulation, synthesis, digital backend, equivalence and physical verification as part of
the digital design flow
• Support hardware bring-up, integration and debugging of digital subsystems in lab and at customers
• Participate in reviews and specifications of digital functionality on PCBs and related software

What We're Looking For

• MSc (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field
• 3-5 years of experience in digital system design, FPGA/ASIC development, or embedded
hardware engineering
• Familiarity with satellite communication systems or 3GPP 5G NR standards is an advantage
• Good knowledge of standard HDLs (SystemVerilog, Verilog, VHDL) for RTL design and verification
• Good knowledge about standard digital design flow using Cadence tools (Xcelium, Genus,
Innovus, etc.)
• Knowledge about open-source tools, such Verilator, Icarus, OpenRoad is a plus
• Knowledge of UVM (Universal Verification Methodology) for verification
• C/C++ and Python programming skills for modelling and validation/testing
• Solid understanding of digital signal processing (DSP) principles
• Familiarity with Linux-based development and test environments (Linux shell scripting)
• Experience with lab equipment for hardware bring-up and debugging (oscilloscopes, logic
analyzers, spectrum analyzers)
• Experience with antenna array systems, beamforming, or RF front-end integration is a plus
• Knowledge about processor systems and SoC architectures is a plus

Personal Fit

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail
• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams
• Good communication skills, able to convey technical concepts clearly to varied audiences
• Structured and methodical approach to documentation and verification
• Curious and proactive, with a drive to stay current with evolving technical standards and best
practices
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities
• Open, pragmatic, team player
• Willingness to support and challenge, and to be supported and challenged.
• An ability to follow written and oral instructions.
• Disciplined, diligent and hard working with an eye for detail.
• Excellent telephone manner with proven verbal and written communication skills, demonstrable at all
levels of a business
• Enthusiastic, with a high degree of commitment to personal development, and a passion for achieving
success.
• Result orientated with sense of urgency whilst quality conscious.
• Be willing to uphold company standards, act as a role model and take ownership.
