Experience with system engineering of RF subsystems and waveform simulations using modulation schemes such as PSK, FSK, OFDM, and QAM.

Familiarity with common RF impairments (phase noise, multipath, Doppler), link budget and propagation modeling, RF transceiver and front‑end design tradeoffs, antenna design parameters, fixed‑point algorithm simulations for VHDL verification, and wireless fading model simulation.

Knowledge of Layer2 and above protocols.

Strong technical and interpersonal skills, ability to prepare documentation with minimal oversight, background in designing for manufacturability, producibility, and cost constraints, and leadership/group management experience.

Strong problem‑solving skills with the ability to proactively identify alternate solutions to overcome difficult technical challenges.
