Implementing advanced baseband signal processing algorithms on vector DSP and embedded DSP architectures for next‑generation 5G NR modem platforms
Translating floating‑point algorithm specifications into highly optimized fixed‑point implementations suitable for real‑time modem execution
Optimizing DSP implementations for SIMD/vector processing, memory bandwidth, latency, and power efficiency
Developing efficient implementations of critical receiver components such as channel estimation, equalization, MIMO detection, synchronization, and decoding
Performing algorithmic and architectural optimizations including quantization design, scaling strategies, pipeline optimization, and vectorization
Working closely with PHY algorithm teams, hardware architects, and firmware developers to ensure efficient algorithm‑to‑architecture mapping
Developing and maintaining DSP reference models and bit‑accurate fixed‑point models for validation of hardware and firmware implementations
Performing performance analysis, profiling, and optimization of DSP implementations on target platforms
Supporting pre‑silicon and post‑silicon validation, debugging algorithm behavior, and reproducing and resolving field issues
Contributing to the continuous improvement of modem receiver performance and efficiency, including innovation in DSP implementation techniques
