Researcher Radio Systems
What you will do
The focus of the job is to perform research on new, and innovative designs for
radio PHY layer architectures and signal processing schemes for next-
generation wireless communication and radar systems e.g. UWB for (indoor)
localization, vital signs, and gesture detection using radar, secure car
access systems, high data rate communication and brain-computer interfaces, In
this role, you will have an impact on the choice of architectures and their
implementation. You will deliver high-quality research results within the
wireless sensing systems program. In this position you will:
Conduct system-level research, performance studies, and evaluation of
next-generation (radio) communication, localization, and/or radar
systems.
Draft innovating concepts for the signal processing blocks.
Develop (novel) algorithms and solutions for wireless signal processing,
including synchronization, compensation of non-idealities, calibration,
error estimation, and correction. E.g., for localization, vital signs and
gesture detection, and angle-of-arrival estimation purposes.
Guide the evaluation of systems in lab and realistic environments.
Contribute to the signal processing team discussions and collaborate with
other engineering disciplines, such as system architects, analog/digital
IC designers, and hardware and software developers, to understand and
define system-level requirements.
Interact with customers and (academic) partners as a technical interface
for existing and new collaborations.
Translate your new insights into patent applications and publications at
peer-reviewed conferences and journals.
What we do for you
By joining imec on the High Tech Campus in Eindhoven, you will be part of a
team of disruptive innovators and thinkers. Imec is pushing the state-of-the-
art in the design of ultra-low-power circuits and algorithms to raise the
performance and intelligence of sensor systems, and with the researchers and
engineers from our wireless systems group, you will create the next-generation
platforms for wireless sensing. You will experience a dynamic and stimulating
environment working with experts across the technology stack from antennas,
mixed-signal integrated circuits, embedded software, and advanced algorithms.
Imec The Netherlands, as an employer of choice, offers you an attractive
compensation and benefits package including a 100% employer-paid pension plan
and flexible working hours. Furthermore, imec-NL offers a wide range of
training possibilities. For international candidates, we provide support in
the relocation process.
Who you are
MSc or Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering, communications engineering,
or equivalent. In the case of MSc, we ask for professional research
experience in an R&D environment.
Solid understanding of generic signal theory, signal processing, and
communications theory.
Knowledgeable in the state-of-the-art in (ULP) wireless communication,
localization, radar architectures, and wireless standards such as
Bluetooth, UWB, and WiFi.
Knowledge of system mondeling with a focus on research and a drive to
bring them alive in real hardware.
The interest and ability to innovate, discover and explore new paths and
opportunities.
Experience in e.g., Python/MATLAB, Simulink, C++.
Team player with good communication skills and the ability to translate
ideas to colleagues with multidisciplinary backgrounds.
A hands-on and exploratory attitude, which means taking initiative,
thinking proactively, having a flexible approach, and solving problems
daily are attributes that define yourself.
Good scientific writing skills and motivated to publish your work in peer-
reviewed conferences and journals.
Your communication skills in English are excellent.
