Senior Systems Architect

In this role, you will shape architectures for 5G communications, modem and signal-processing products across software, FPGA and ASIC platforms. You translate requirements into practical designs, evaluate trade-offs, and work with DSP, software, FPGA and ASIC teams to enable performant, scalable systems. You will model, simulate and support verification and integration throughout the development lifecycle, including direct engagement with customers for technical integration. This role offers exposure to both FPGA and ASIC technologies, with a focus on translating theory into concrete architectures that meet performance targets.
