**Hiring in San Diego and Boulder.

What you will do

• Design, integrate, bring up, and validate baseband subsystems for automotive telematics hardware platforms, from early silicon to production.
• Perform system‑level debugging and root‑cause analysis across hardware, firmware, and system interfaces.
• Partner closely with RF, systems, software, component, mechanical, and customer engineering teams to deliver production‑ready platforms.
• Support hardware validation and characterization, including lab bring‑up, stress testing, and performance analysis.
• Review and analyze schematics, board layouts, and system architecture to identify and mitigate baseband‑related risks.
• Work with software and systems teams on hardware and software co‑debug, including boot issues, power sequencing, memory interfaces, and high‑speed digital connectivity.
• Create and maintain clear technical documentation, including bring‑up notes, debug reports, and design recommendations.
• Support customer and field issues by reproducing problems in the lab and driving corrective actions.
• Participate in design reviews and post‑silicon bring‑up activities to improve quality, robustness, and time‑to‑market.
• Follow automotive quality, reliability, and compliance requirements throughout the product lifecycle.

Required qualifications
