Meet the Team
Silicon Labs Systems Teams mission is to ensure our products have the right features and technologies to win in our target market segments. The team is responsible for generating technical requirements for our products in ways that leverage the latest standards and technologies to solve our customers most urgent problems.
As a Principal Systems Engineer you will serve as a technical leader shaping the PHY/MAC architecture across SiliconLabs wireless IoT portfolioincluding WiFi Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) IEEE802.15.4/Thread Zigbee and SubGHz (FSK proprietary) solutions. Your deep expertise in these protocol families will guide the definition modeling prototyping and validation of innovative PHY/MAC solutions that deliver marketleading range robustness coexistence and ultralowpower performance.
Responsibilities:
- Architect RF PHY/MAC solutions that meet or exceed application and standards requirements (BluetoothLE IEEE802.15.4/Thread WiFi Matter etc.).
- Comprehend market and customer needs and deliver detailed technical requirements in our requirements management tool (JAMA).
- Prototype & evaluate novel concepts using simulation(Matlab Python SystemVue Verilog) and handson lab work to quantify range throughput power coexistence and reliability.
- Collaborate with RF design digital design firmware software and product marketing teams to drive architectural decisions and resolve systemlevel tradeoffs.
- Drive Standards & Innovation by participating in wireless standards bodies publishing whitepapers and driving high value innovations into our products.
- Guide Development by reviewing design implementations verifying that system features meet requirements and supporting debug from lab bringup through customer production.
- Mentor & Educate internal engineering and customerfacing teams on RF system architecture best practices and new technologies.
