Description

We have an excellent opportunity for a Senior/Principal Wireless Modem Architect to join our Modem Technology and Architecture team. The main goal of this position is to drive innovation and continuous improvements for the architecture of the cellular modems used in MediaTek’s latest and most advanced chipsets. As MediaTek’s next Senior/Principal Wireless Modem Architect, you will engage with experienced cross-disciplinary staff and will have the chance to work on the latest cellular communication standards, such as 5G NR Releases 16/17.

The Modem Technology Architecture team is currently involved in the architecture definition, design and validation of MediaTek’s 5G NR chipsets. In your role as Senior/Principal Modem Architect, you will be responsible for the architecture definition of state of the art cellular modems used in User Equipment (UE) devices. You will be comfortable working across HW/SW boundaries and will have experience exploring and quantifying the impact of different architecture decisions on performance, area and power consumption.

This senior role will be varied and will give you exposure to the modem architecture across the different software and hardware layers of our different cellular modem solutions. As MediaTek’s Senior/Principal Wireless Modem Architect, you will have opportunities to directly interact with hardware, DSP, software and standards engineers, both locally and across MediaTek’s global R&D sites.
