Wireless Communications FPGA Development Engineer

Responsibilities

• Design FPGA architectures, develop RTL, perform simulation-based verification and conduct board-level debugging for key 6G wireless physical-layer modules. Implement key algorithms and optimize their performance.
• Develop and debug high-speed FPGA data interfaces.
• Perform hardware–software integration, testing, and debugging, resolving complex engineering issues involving functionality, timing, and performance.
• Contribute to the design of key technical solutions, prototype development, and system validation for cutting-edge 6G technologies such as new wireless air interfaces, MIMO, integrated sensing and communication, and AI-enabled wireless communications.

Qualifications

Education and Work Experience

• A master's degree or above in electronic information engineering, communications engineering, signal and information processing, microelectronics, or a related field, with at least 5 years of FPGA R&D experience and extensive experience in wireless communications, digital signal processing and communication-system development.

Technical Skills

• Proficiency in at least one FPGA development language, such as VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog, and in development tools such as Vivado and Vitis. Strong knowledge of timing closure, clock-domain crossing, and IP development.
• Familiarity with PS/PL co-processing workflows and proficiency in Linux-based and bare-metal programming.
• Familiarity with wireless physical-layer architecture and key 5G NR physical-layer technologies, with knowledge of cutting-edge technologies such as 6G wireless AI and eMIMO.
• Ability to independently design and simulate FPGA modules, perform board bring-up and debugging, integrate and debug them at the system level, and develop and optimize complex logic modules.
• Proficiency in developing and debugging high-speed interfaces such as JESD and Ethernet, with the ability to efficiently identify and resolve hardware and software engineering issues.

Professional Attributes

• Commitment to coding standards and good technical documentation skills.
• Strong teamwork and cross-functional communication skills, with the ability to manage parallel tasks and work under pressure.
• A self-driven approach and enthusiasm for exploring cutting-edge technologies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with 5G/6G physical-layer protocols and key technologies, with experience in exploratory 6G research or prototype-system development.
• Experience leading or participating in government-funded research projects supported by organizations such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Science and Technology, or local governments.
• FPGA development experience in AI-enabled communication physical-layer modules, intelligent signal processing, or neural-network hardware acceleration.
• Familiarity with domestically developed FPGA architectures and development workflows, with experience developing communication prototypes based on these FPGAs.
• Experience in RF front-end development and debugging.
• Experience in USRP development and debugging.
• Development experience with open-source communication architectures such as OAI and OCUDU.
