Sr. AI PHY System Engineer

We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate Sr. AI PHY System Engineer to design, implement, and integrate advanced cellular communication systems for our next-generation base-station products. The role leads PHY activities from feature development through integration, with a strong emphasis on automation and the use of modern AI tools to accelerate development, debugging, and validation.

What you'll do:

• Leverage existing AI tools (AI coding assistants, LLM-based workflows) to speed up development, code comprehension, debugging, and documentation.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers within the PHY team, including sharing best practices for automation and AI-assisted development.
• Act as the focal point for all PHY and RF-related aspects.
• Define and write system-level requirements.
• Continuously optimize and fine-tune PHY-layer algorithms to enhance the performance and efficiency of base-station products.
• Build automation and internal tooling to streamline PHY development, integration, and lab testing - reducing manual effort and improving repeatability.
• Work within existing codebases and repositories: understand the current architecture quickly, extend it responsibly, and add new capabilities without destabilizing established flows.
• Design and develop new tools (test harnesses, analysis utilities, reporting dashboards) to support PHY bring-up and validation.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of PHY components with software, digital signal processing (DSP), and other subsystems.
• Hands-on lab work.

What you should have:

• At least 4 years of experience in wireless communication / PHY-layer development or integration.
• Good understanding of RX and TX PHY and RF chains.
• Deep understanding of wireless communication systems.
• Working experience with RF lab test equipment.
• Solid experience with scripting languages (such as Python) for automation and tool development.
• Demonstrated ability to read, understand, and extend an existing codebase or repository, and to build new tooling on top of it.
• Experience using AI tools (e.g. AI coding assistants / LLM-based workflows) to improve development, debugging, and productivity.
• Good system-level understanding within a multi-disciplinary environment (HW, SW, RF).
• Excellent communication skills in Hebrew and English (written and verbal), team player, and ability to thrive in a global multi-site environment.

Nice to have:

• Experience designing automation frameworks or test-automation pipelines for PHY / RF validation.
• Proficient in MATLAB for data analysis, modeling, and simulation.
• Involvement in research and development projects related to emerging wireless technologies, such as Massive MIMO and beamforming.
• Solid knowledge of the physical-layer specifications of 4G/5G.

Education:

• B.Sc. in Electrical/Computer Engineering
