Tasks and responsibilities
As low-level radio stack researcher you work in a team with other researchers – mostly radio specialists, and cyber security and cryptology specialists. The work description is analysis, experimenting, and optimalisation of software radio stacks at lower layers. The work covers optimalisation of modulation/demodulation algorithms that run on software defined radios (SDRs); improving scan speeds; and identification of central frequencies in given communication bands (focused on bands reserved for 2G-5G mobile networks), and similar tasks. The work covers all technologies from 2G to 5G and experiments with utilization of software defined radios (SDRs).
Qualifications & Requirements
You can probably say “yes” to most of the following:
- Technical university education (MSc. or Ph.D.)
- Good knowledge of low-level radio and network communication protocols (focus on L1-L2 layers)
- Programming skills covering areas of modulation techniques and modulation schemes
- Programming skills covering areas of coding theory
- Experience with optimalisations
- Familiar with GSM/UMTS/LTE
- Good programming skills (C/C++, Python)
