Signal Processing Architect

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United Kingdom.

📋 Description

• Designing and architecting essential L1/L2 signal processing components for link-level and system-level simulators, as well as Virtualised Distributed Unit (vDU) L1/L2 software and Radio Unit (RU) L1 hardware IP.

• Collaborating with software and hardware development teams to provide technical support and guidance as necessary.

• Conducting system specification, high-level design, detailed design, implementation, and testing of new features in the simulator.

• Ensuring the accuracy of implementation through calibration against available published results.

• Monitoring the progress of the 3GPP RAN1/RAN2 specifications related to the 5G NR/6G implementation in the simulators and associated products.

• Identifying new or missing 3GPP features (or modifications to existing features) that require implementation in the simulator to maintain its currency.

• Communicating pertinent updates to specifications to the broader team.

• Developing and deploying agentic AI tools and workflows to enhance and expedite software development.

• Gaining an understanding of the simulator kernel to expand platform functionality.

• Cooperating with other NEC teams globally who utilize the simulator and providing informal technical support as needed.

• Creating and maintaining all essential documentation for assigned projects.

• Adhering to the company's life cycle and quality assurance procedures.
