Tensorcom, a pioneer in developing innovative semiconductors for high-speed millimeter wave, ultra-low power, wireless communication chipsets, is looking for a candidate who is interested in working on complex ASIC designs for our next generation 60GHz, IEEE 802.11ad/WiGig compliant SoCs with specific emphasis on developing RTL code for the digital baseband module. The candidate will participate in a range of ASIC development activities such as defining the digital modem architecture, the evaluation of competing efficient, compact signal processing algorithms, the development of RTL code, the taping-out of the chip, and the evaluation of the chip’s performance.

In addition to excellent technical skills, good English communication skills are required.

Responsibilities

The interested candidate will be responsible for:

• Defining the micro-architecture of IEEE 802.11ad compliant Wireless Modem’s Digital Signal Processing (DSP) blocks.

• Developing and verifying the Register-Transfer-Level (RTL) code using Verilog / System Verilog
• Performing block level verification against a cycle-accurate, finite precision, behavioral model
• Performing block level static timing and power estimation/analysis/optimization
• Evaluating the digital modem’s performance using an FPGA platform
• Creating detailed documentation.

Qualifications:

The interested candidate shall have demonstrable experience and/or knowledge in:

• ASIC flow activities such as:
  • Using front-end ASIC tools to perform simulations, CDC, synthesis, static timing, and power analysis
• Using Verilog and/or System Verilog proficiently
• Modem development activities such as:
  • Implementing DSP blocks such as digital filters, time or frequency domain equalizers, channel encoder/decoders and/or signal acquisition
• Understanding the general concepts of communications and information theory
• Being familiar with general forms of signal impairments within a wireless channel
• Verification activities such as:
  • Developing a test bench and test cases
• Emulating an ASIC on an FPGA development platform
• SoC system architecture and common interfaces
