Sr. Principal Systems Engineer

Description

Skyworks Standardization and RF System team seeks engineers with experience in 3GPP wireless system design, LTE and NR standards and Tx simulation and measurements to grow our RAN4 team. You will develop simulation tools and measurement methods in order to evaluate the technical feasibility of proposed features. You will also contribute to Skyworks RAN4 submissions and review those from other companies.

You will collaborate with many teams, including multiple R&D, product, and regulatory groups. You will work in a fast-paced, results oriented environment with a thought and market leader in industry, frequently interacting with many different engineering disciplines.
