Lead/Staff
12+ years expOmni Design Technologies is a leading provider of high-performance, ultra-low power IP solutions across advanced CMOS nodes. They are seeking a Principal / Lead Wireless Communications System Architect to define and guide the architectural direction of complex wireless and multi-antenna system platforms.
Semiconductor
Responsibilities
Define system architecture for next-generation multi-antenna and SDR-based communication platforms, influencing product strategy and long-term roadmap planning
Lead technical engagement with strategic customers, representing system trade-offs, negotiating performance specifications, and aligning joint integration plans
Architect and maintain MATLAB and analytical models capturing the full signal chain, including channel modeling, quantization noise allocation, SNR budgeting, interplay of RF non-linearities, and DSP algorithm design constraints
Generate precise block-level specifications for digital baseband, calibration engines, channel processing, mixed-signal converters, and RF interfacing elements; ensure internal teams understand the architectural rationale behind these specifications
Drive alignment between digital architecture, signal processing algorithms, mixed-signal circuit selections, ADC/DAC dynamic range decisions, LO/subsystem noise considerations, and thermal/power constraints
Collaborate with validation and silicon bring-up teams to ensure post-silicon results trace back to modeled assumptions; define measurement-level KPIs and debug methodologies when deviations arise
Provide architectural guidance to system engineers, signal processing developers, and hardware design teams; develop reusable models, internal best practices, and system-level methodologies
Participate in internal architecture reviews, contribute to core IP innovation strategy, and represent the company in technical engagements, standards-relevant discussions, and key customer milestones
Qualification
Required
Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or related field; PhD strongly preferred
12+ years of experience in wireless communications system architecture for advanced SDR systems
Demonstrated ownership of end-to-end communication signal chains, including cascaded error budgeting, quantization trade-offs, and performance modeling across RF, ADC/DAC, and DSP blocks
Deep expertise in: MIMO and multi-user spatial processing architectures, Channel estimation, SNR/phase-noise budgets and their mapping into mixed-signal design requirements
System-level modeling using MATLAB or Python
Ability to articulate complex system decisions to both internal engineering teams and senior-level customers
Proven leadership in defining specifications consumed by RTL design, mixed-signal design, verification, and system validation teams
Strong customer communication skills and comfort presenting architectural trade-offs to VP- and CTO-level stakeholders
Benefits
Highly competitive compensation
Performance incentives
Substantial technical influence
