Key Responsibilities
- Research, develop, and evaluate forward error correction (FEC) schemes for high‑speed optical communication systems.
- Design and optimize soft‑decision FEC algorithms suitable for high‑throughput optical modem implementations.
- Develop and evaluate coding schemes such as LDPC, staircase codes, or related high‑performance FEC architectures.
- Model and simulate FEC performance in optical communication systems, including interaction with DSP blocks and channel impairments.
- Analyze performance trade‑offs including coding gain, latency, throughput, and implementation complexity.
- Develop floating‑point and fixed‑point simulation models for algorithm verification.
- Implement bit‑accurate and cycle‑accurate models supporting ASIC implementation.
- Collaborate closely with DSP, ASIC, firmware, and verification teams to ensure efficient hardware implementation.
- Document algorithm design and simulation results.
Preferred Qualifications
- Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Engineering, or related field.
- Strong background in coding theory and error correction algorithms.
- Experience with FEC schemes for communication systems, particularly soft‑decision FEC.
- Familiarity with LDPC, staircase codes, product codes, or related modern FEC techniques.
- Experience evaluating coding gain, BER performance, and decoder complexity.
- Programming experience in C/C++, Python, MATLAB, or similar languages.
- Experience in modeling communication systems.
- Familiarity with DSP algorithms for communication systems.
- Experience with version control systems, specifically GitHub.
- Familiarity with hardware implementation considerations and languages such as Verilog or VHDL is a plus.
- Team player with a mindset focused on the successful delivery of the first product.
Why Join Us
- The chance to play a foundational role at a high‑growth semiconductor start‑up.
- Work on cutting‑edge optical communication technologies powering AI and hyperscale data centers.
- A collaborative, international team culture where ideas and initiative are valued.
