Digital Baseband Design Engineer

Location: Dallas, TX
Type: Full-time

About the Role

We are seeking a Digital Baseband Design Engineer to join our wireless systems R&D team. In this role, you will contribute to the design, development, and verification of digital baseband architectures and algorithms that power next-generation wireless infrastructure, including 5G, 6G, and advanced radio platforms. You’ll work at the intersection of digital signal processing, ASIC/FPGA design, and system integration to deliver high-performance, scalable baseband solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and implement baseband processing architectures for wireless communication systems (5G/6G).

• Design, model, and verify digital signal processing (DSP) blocks such as channel coding/decoding, MIMO detection, OFDM modulation/demodulation, and beamforming algorithms.

• Contribute to the design and implementation of ASIC/FPGA baseband IP cores.

• Perform system-level simulations in MATLAB, C/C++, or SystemVerilog to evaluate performance against standard specifications.

• Collaborate with system engineers to optimize algorithms for throughput, latency, and power efficiency.

• Support the integration of baseband modules with RF, antenna, and software components in full system prototypes.

• Conduct functional verification and debugging of baseband logic using UVM, VHDL, or SystemVerilog.

• Stay informed on evolving 3GPP standards and contribute to innovative solutions for emerging features.

• Document design specifications, test plans, and verification results for internal and external stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.

• 5+ years of experience in baseband design for wireless communication systems.

• Solid understanding of digital communication theory (modulation, coding, MIMO, OFDM, beamforming).

• Hands-on experience with ASIC/FPGA design using VHDL, Verilog, or SystemVerilog.

• Proficiency in simulation and modeling tools such as MATLAB, C/C++, and Python.

• Familiarity with verification methodologies (UVM, testbench creation, regression testing).

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills, with experience in lab validation using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol testers.

Nice to Have

• Experience with 3GPP standards for LTE, 5G NR, or 6G.

• Knowledge of hardware/software co-design and embedded systems.

• Experience with DSP processor architectures and parallel computing.

• Background in high-speed digital interfaces and SoC integration.

• Exposure to AI/ML-assisted baseband processing techniques.
