* Translate system‑level and algorithmic requirements into production‑ready firmware
* Drive FW integration and bring‑up on target hardware, in close collaboration with system and HW teams
* Analyze performance, latency, and resource usage; identify bottlenecks and propose design improvements
* Debug and resolve complex performance, robustness, and reliability issues
* Act as a technical focal point for firmware topics across system, HW, RF, and validation teams
Required Qualifications
* 3+ years of hands‑on experience in wireless communications and/or DSP algorithm implementation
