Job Overview - Dept Description and Job Duties:
The Radio VI/DVT teams primary function is Bring up, Evaluation, optimization and enhancement of the radio performance of Qualcomm silicon radios. The group consists of multi-disciplined (RF, Analogue, Software and Digital) engineers who work closely with specialist design and systems engineers. This broad base of knowledge is deployed to provide optimal tuning and configuration solutions for radio operation. The role is predominantly lab-based working at circuit, cell, subsystem, and system level.
The BDC Bluetooth VI DVT team are looking for an adaptable, enthusiastic, and reliable individual to form an integral part of our BT RFDVT and CoEx team in Bangalore. The team will work closely with the BT RFA, RFS, Modem Systems, FW Team and Characterization team across Geos. The Team plays a pivotal role in the developing complex radio/modem features for the companys Connectivity products. Working within our team provides a unique opportunity to work across engineering disciplines from high level SOC to low-level hardware.
During this time, the team will be the lead source of system-level RF test data, providing target testing and reports to R&D teams across the Qualcomm family to inform them of the latest status of each products development evolution against Key Performance Metrics.
Typical tasks for the successful applicant would include:
- Focusing on all aspects of the silicon design that influence the performance, qualification and test of the connectivity radios, including elements of the embedded firmware for Radio Control and defining the Production Test strategy and test limits for the radio.
- The Engineer will be assigned to a project and be responsible for the performance and operation of the radio, interfacing directly with analogue and digital designers, systems engineers, and radio control FW engineers to provide a complete radio system solution for verification and validation in characterization over temperature and process skews.
-
Development of radio/modem features for BT products
-
Developing RF test cases in Python
-
Reviewing RF performance data and reporting performance results to a wide audience
- Analysis and support bug fixes during final stages of program to customers
