Nice to Have
- Experience designing cost- and size-sensitive baseband hardware for commercial, cellular, or defense applications
- Experience with high-reliability design for aerospace or defense applications
- Experience designing for medium-rate production (up to thousands per year)
- Understanding of RF communication systems and digital signal processing, and ability to translate these into hardware requirements for data converters, processing, and RF performance
