Responsibilities

We are a team of Communications Systems Engineers designing advanced broadband communications SoCs. These chips integrate complete PHY and MAC layers, including broadband RF/analog circuits, digital ASIC, and CPU subsystems, on a single die. They are designed in deep-submicron CMOS processes for use in next-generation wireless, optical, and wireline systems.
MaxLinear is seeking a Staff or Senior Staff Communications Systems Engineer to join our experienced team in the Valencia design center. The idóneo candidate has a strong understanding of communications system architectures and their end-to-end performance. Responsibilities include:
- Research, design, verify, and test DSP (digital signal processing) algorithms (e.g., modulators, demodulators, filters, equalizers, channel coding, echo cancellers) for broadband communications SoCs
- Design, verify, and test signal-impairment correction algorithms to improve analog front-end performance; work closely with the RFIC and RF systems teams to optimize end-to-end system performance
- Define, specify,



and test hardware/software partitioning for complex DSP, control, and datapath blocks; collaborate with ASIC design and firmware teams to ensure correct implementation.
- Mentor junior engineers through all stages of PHY-layer development for MaxLinear SoC products

Qualifications
- Master degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications Engineering, or a related field; Ph.D. is a plus
- Ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams, including communications systems, RFIC, ASIC, and software/firmware engineering
- Strong analytical skills with a solid mathematical background and foundation in communications theory
- Experience with PHY modem architectures and DSP design for communications systems
- Proficiency in MATLAB and C/C++; SystemC and Python are a plus
- Comfortable working in a multicultural, collaborative environment with a strong drive for quality and results
- Strong written and verba
