Scope:        Our client seeks a Senior Communications Systems Engineer to
              define the architecture and feature set/performance
              requirements for a set of world-class Wireless Personal Area
              Networking (WPAN) products based on Ultra Wideband (UWB)
              technology, with an emphasis on integrated radio frequency
              (RF) communications design. The selected individual will
              deliver the architectural specifications and the system
              requirements for the WPAN chip sets, ensuring their clear
              communication to the product development and implementation
              organizations. Further, this person will monitor and review
              the progress of the implementation process to ensure the
              fielded products will meet stated market needs. Although
              this is a senior individual contributor role, and not a line
              management position, this person will provide technical
              direction and guidance on a project basis to a small group
              of technologists working on various design programs. This
              opportunity is well-suited for an entrepreneurial
              technologist with an established track record seeking to
              join a well-funded, privately held company positioned to
              literally transform the wireless industry. The successful
              candidate will be a recognized industry expert who has
              effectively functioned as a technical advisor to peers,
              management and customers, producing innovative products
              and/or processes leading to significant revenue
              opportunities.

              Technical Responsibilities:
              Perform systems engineering tasks, acting as the key
              technical contributor to the architecture and requirements
              definition and allocation efforts for UWB radio chip set
              products. Coordinate systems analysis efforts, working with
              other members of the Systems Engineering team. Perform
              systems simulations to characterize standard operating
              modes, as well as proprietary extensions yielding key
              performance/market advantages. Generate system
              specifications for FPGA-based version of product, pending
              the ASIC implementation of the chipset.
              Lead and manage the design review process at all levels to
              ensure that resulting products meet stated feature set and
              performance requirements. Detailed analysis and evaluation of
              Link budget in various channel models; range/rate studies based
              on variations of desired PER, packet size, maximized ranges, etc.
              Perform gain/noise figure/dynamic range analysis, maintaining
              UWB-based estimates of all transceiver system losses (i.e.
              system jitter, receiver efficiency, noise figure, etc.),
              BER, PER, etc.. Analyze and evaluate complex coding and
              signal modulation schemes, applying intimate knowledge of
              signal processing and information theory to ensure success
              of the resulting radio products. Monitor Media Access
              Control (MAC) development to ensure a well-defined (MAC/PHY)
              interface is developed. Make technical presentations to
              management and customers, enabling customers to understand,
              from a technical viewpoint, the capabilities and impact this
              chipset can deliver to their future products. Participate
              in the development of product and technology roadmap
              strategy.
