Job Overview - Dept Description and Job Duties:

• Designs, implements, verifies, validates, and commercializes Wireless LAN modem as a product or component within a product.
• Works on the implementation of a WLAN modem from industry specifications, such as IEEE’s 802.11 standards
• Has experience in implementing the WLAN specifications and can efficiently build the WLAN modem that span multiple generations of standards.
• Works closely with other functional groups to develop a cost effective, high quality and high capability modem 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).

Principal Duties and Responsibilities

• Leverages expert understanding to make architectural decisions and work with multiple areas within WLAN RF, digital, hardware, systems, or firmware; serves as subject matter expert and advisor to cross-functional teams; conducts design reviews, makes project schedules and delivers to those project schedules across multiple technologies to deliver modem products in meeting customer needs and aligning with the broader strategy/roadmap.
