It’s fast-paced, fun, and grounded in a sober sense of purpose and perspective. Whether we’re deep in design reviews or sharing laughs over lunch, we’re building something meaningful together. At Qualinx, you’re not just contributing to a ground-breaking technology, you’re helping shape a team that’s redefining what it means to work in deep tech.
Role Overview
As a Senior System-Level Designer, you'll play a pivotal role in designing the digital baseband part of our cutting-edge GNSS/IoT chip. This role is for those who enjoy challenges and wish to contribute to the development of technology that powers GNSS L1/L5 receivers and BLE/Lora/NB-IoT transceivers.
As a Senior Communication System Engineer, you will help shape the future of our next-generation products. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of advanced communication systems, contributing to both innovation and performance optimization.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and implement communication systems with a focus on bandwidth, latency, reliability, and power efficiency.
Develop innovative algorithms and solutions to address challenging system-level problems.
Analyze standard requirements (e.g., BLE, LTE) and benchmark competitor performance to guide strategic design decisions.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and network engineers to ensure seamless system integration.
Work closely with RTL implementation teams to support fixed-point modeling and ensure efficient FPGA/ASIC realization.
Develop and execute test plans to validate system performance and reliability.
Maintain comprehensive documentation for system designs, configurations, and troubleshooting procedures
Requirements
We’re looking for a result-driven engineer who thrives in a proactive, collaborative environment. The ideal candidate will have:
Strong MATLAB programming and scripting skills.
Deep knowledge of digital signal processing and physical layer components such as modulation/demodulation, filtering, channel estimation, equalization, and synchronization.
