Knowledge of the LTE RRC specification and of ASN.1 would be also be of benefit. The initial assignment will be to work on the Layer 1 Controller – responsible for the configuration and coordination of the multi-DSP physical layer implementation. The main duties and responsibilities include: • Design, implementation and test of the complex real-time embedded components forming part of the LTE protocol stack • Produce and maintain design documents • Analysis of 3GPP specifications • Perform peer reviews on design documentation and code • Assist in test development • Support and maintenance of existing code and documentation Please send your CV to Emma Windows at IC Software. http://www.icgroupjobs.co.uk/jobs/uk-h-counties/senior-embedded-engineer-j13728.html Wed, 28 Jul 2010 17:34:07 GMT http://www.icgroupjobs.co.uk/jobs/uk-h-counties/senior-embedded-engineer-j13728.html J13728 £ 55k plus benefits UK- H. Counties UK-ThamesValley : Competitive £££ + benefits package Our client is an established leader developing Semiconductor products on a worldwide scale. Based in the Thames Valley, they are looking to grow their Communications division with the addition of a Digital Physical Implementation Engineer. The successful candidate will join a dedicated design team work focused on CMOS submicron technologies down to 40nm. Your role will to predominantly cover digital physical implementation of IC designs including Place & Route (P&R), test and clock tree insertion, and will also involve an amount of RTL coding, verification and static timing analysis (STA). This role would therefore suit an engineer with some exposure to the whole design flow. Candidate profile: •    A good University degree (BSc/BEng/MSc) in Electronic Engineering / similar •    A solid background in digital ASIC physical implementation •    Place & Route (P&R) and floorplanning experience •    Some RTL design experience (VHDL/Verilog) •    Excellent communications skills (the role will involve some customer engagement) Bonus skills: •    Mixed signal CMOS design experience •    Cadence Encounter OR Synopsys Design Compiler (DC) Candidates must be eligible to live and work in the UK to apply.
