Top Engineering Jobs in Charlotte, NC

Develop and improve InP-based optoelectronic epitaxy processes, convert device roadmaps into epi development plans, analyze device data to improve yield, automate analytics, and drive projects within a collaborative production environment.

The role involves developing and verifying SoCs using ASICs and FPGAs, creating test plans, collaborating with engineers, and debugging HW/SW.

Design, implement, and optimize FPGA-based Digital Front End and High-PHY functions for 5G Radio Units. Develop RTL (VHDL/Verilog/SystemVerilog), integrate signal-processing IP (FFT/IFFT, DPD, CFR, beamforming, MIMO), target AMD Versal/AI Engine, perform synthesis/place-and-route/timing/power analysis, co-design with embedded processors and RF transceivers, and lead verification, simulation, and hardware validation activities.

Design and lead development of hardware architectures for satellite communications and ground systems. Drive integration, verification, EMC and environmental testing, root-cause analysis, qualification, documentation, and mentor junior engineers while collaborating with systems, software, FPGA, RF, and mechanical teams.

Design and develop Wi‑Fi 6 access point software and 802.11s mesh solutions on NXP-based Embedded Linux platforms. Implement HMAC components, optimize throughput/latency, maintain hostapd/wpa_supplicant, debug with packet captures, and collaborate with RF/hardware/firmware teams for enterprise-grade product releases.

Develop, optimize, and test UE Layer 2/Layer 3 protocol stack (MAC, RLC, PDCP, RRC, NAS) for LTE and 5G NR. Implement 3GPP features, debug protocol issues, integrate with PHY/L1 and higher layers, and perform functional/performance testing using UE simulators and network emulators.

Lead product engineering for next-generation coherent optical pluggable modules, driving yield improvements, statistical analysis, automation of workflows, and cross-functional optimization from design through manufacturing ramp to volume production.

Manage development and fabrication schedules for next-generation photonic integrated circuits. Coordinate cross-functional teams (design, mask layout, fabrication, packaging), align tools and processes, mitigate risks and bottlenecks, and report technical status and metrics to leadership to enable delivery of high-performance PICs for AI data center networks.

Lead and grow a research department focused on high-speed optical integrated circuits and mixed-signal ASICs. Set research strategy and roadmaps, define architectures, guide circuit and system design, manage packaging and heterogeneous integration efforts, oversee measurement and characterization, coordinate external partnerships, and enable technology transfer to Nokia business units.

The role involves operating automated wafer fabrication equipment, ensuring production meets quality standards, and collaborating with engineering teams. Responsibilities include data entry, maintaining production schedules, and mentoring new team members in a fast-paced environment.
