Summary
MediaTek is the world’s 4th largest global fabless semiconductor company, leading the market in chipset technology. We enable more than 2 billion consumer electronic products a year including Smart TVs, Voice Assistant Devices (VAD), Android tablets, feature phones, Optical and Blu-ray DVD players, and we’re number two globally in mobile phones.
The Role
We have an excellent opportunity for a Senior Wireless Software Engineer to join our Modem Technology and Architecture team. The main goal of this position is to contribute to the design, implementation and verification of the modem software used in MediaTek’s latest and most advanced chipsets. As MediaTek’s next Senior/Principal Wireless Software Engineer, you will engage with experienced cross-disciplinary staff and will have the chance to work on the latest cellular communication standards, such as 5G NR and NB-IoT.
The Modem Technology Architecture team is currently involved in the architecture definition, design and validation of MediaTek’s 5G NR chipset. In your role as Senior Wireless Software Engineer, you will be involved in the prototyping, implementation and verification of key software modules. Performance (MIPS, memory) and power consumption are key metrics that we need to optimize for our products to be world-leading and as a Senior/Principal Wireless Software Engineer, you will design and use different tools to quantify these.
This senior role will be varied and will give you exposure to the modem architecture across the different software layers. As MediaTek’s Senior/Principal Wireless Software Engineer, you will also have opportunities to directly interact with hardware, DSP and standards engineers, both locally and across MediaTek’s global R&D sites. As your experience in our technology increases, you will be asked to provide your valuable insight into ways to improve our future hardware and software platforms. Solving difficult and demanding issues will be a key motivator for you.
