Summary:

** Designs, implements, verifies, validates, and commercializes Wireless WAN (or cellular) modem air interface RAN (Radio access Network) technologies by working on Modem access stratum and RF SW design, optimizations & algorithms, modem HW, firmware and systems and with the RFFE team to define and guide the modem IP architecture, RFFE design, HW APIs, core systems algorithms and the right HW/SW/co-processor architecture.

Works on the transceiver, and HW control and wireless Radio Access Stratum implementation of a multi-RAT (Radio Access Technology) from industry specifications (most notably 3

GPP with LTE and 5

GNR). Has experience in the WWAN L1/L2/L3 specifications and can efficiently implement the shared resources of a multi-RAT modem. Works closely with other functional groups to develop a cost effective, high quality and high capability modem IP that meets industry and customer requirements with high performance (e.g., throughput, latency, power consumption) and acceptable cost (e.g., silicon area, calibration complexity, code size).
