Wi-Fi System Design and Integration Engineer

In this role, you will be working on the following: Come up with solutions to control and integrate protocol features and SW, HW architectures and the systems, that maximize the system performances and the efficiency of the resource usages. Analyze Wi-Fi standard features (IEEE 802.11be/Wi-Fi 7, IEEE 802.11bn/Wi-Fi 8 and above) and relevant features to identify integration, architecting and implementations strategies for maximized performances and the efficiencies. Validate performance improvements of the solutions via simulation, modeling, and prototyping, and articulate technical capabilities as concrete user-visible outcomes — reliable video, lower latency, longer battery life, smoother roaming. Estimate the cost of the solutions — silicon area, power, HW/SW complexity, engineering effort, and schedule impact. Partner with architecture and design teams to vet integration, architecture and implementation viability, characterize system constraints, evaluate scalability across product lines, and surface risks and dependencies early. Build alignment across architecture, RF/analog, digital design, firmware, software engineering, and validation organizations to converge on agreed implementation paths. Drive proof-of-concept work from first prototype through product bring up and optimizations — coordinating resources, unblocking the teams, and reporting outcomes to technical leadership. Produce engineering-ready specifications covering acceptance criteria, performance targets, interfaces, dependencies, and implementation guidance. Minimum Qualifications BS and a minimum of 20 years relevant industry experience 7+ years hands-on Wi-Fi/IEEE 802.11 system design and architecture experience, with 5+ years in technical leadership roles. Strong understanding of 802.11 standards with emphasis on MAC and PHY layer features. Knowledge of WiFi system architectures on HW/FW/SW systems and their partitioning and implementation. Solid foundation in wireless communication theory, signal processing, and performance modeling. Proficiency in performance analysis, simulation, and modeling tools (NS3 or equivalent). Experience analyzing complex technical trade-offs between performance, power, complexity, cost, and multi-radio coexistence challenges (WiFi/BT/UWB/Cellular). Experience with prototype development and proof-of-concept validation. Strong analytical and presentation skills with ability to synthesize complex technical information and communicate to diverse audiences. Proven ability to influence technical direction and drive initiatives through data-driven decision-making, persuasion, and consensus building. Cross-functional collaboration and project management skills, coordinating across multiple engineering disciplines. Preferred Qualifications MSEE or PhD degrees with 10+ years of relevant experience in the Wi-FI industry. Hands-on experience with Wi-Fi 7 features (Multi-Link Operation, 320MHz channels, 4K-QAM). Strong knowledge of Wi-Fi 8/IEEE 802.11bn features. Experience with competitive analysis and technology benchmarking. Familiarity with silicon development processes and constraints. Understanding of power management strategies for mobile devices. Experience with user research or product management methodologies. Knowledge of other wireless standards (5G/LTE, Bluetooth, UWB) and interactions with Wi-Fi. Experience with lab characterization and field testing.
