As a pioneering semiconductor scale-up, we’re transforming how devices connect, communicate, and operate through our ground-breaking Digital RF technology. Our mission goes beyond ultra-low power GNSS: we’re redefining what’s possible in adaptive, scalable, and intelligent connectivity for the Internet of Things.\nBorn from deep-tech innovation at TU Delft, our team of visionary engineers and bold thinkers is tackling the toughest challenges in GNSS and IoT, starting with power consumption and expanding into dynamic, context-aware solutions that adapt to any environment or use case. We’ve already achieved what many thought impossible: the world’s most advanced GNSS chipset. But that’s just the beginning.\nAt Qualinx, we believe that the future of connectivity lies in precision, efficiency, and adaptability. Our ambition is to become the invisible thread that seamlessly interconnects billions of devices: powering a smarter, more responsive world.\nWhat Sets Us Apart\nJoining Qualinx is about becoming part of a culture that’s as ambitious as it is authentic. We hold ourselves to high standards, thrive on solving the unexpected, and push boundaries together. But we also know how to enjoy the ride. Our culture is a unique blend of curiosity, team spirit, and a touch of unconventional charm. It’s fast-paced, fun, and grounded in a sober sense of purpose and perspective. Whether we’re deep in design reviews or sharing laughs over lunch, we’re building something meaningful together. At Qualinx, you’re not just contributing to a ground-breaking technology, you’re helping shape a team that’s redefining what it means to work in deep tech.\nRequirements\nRole Overview\nAs a Senior System-Level Designer, you'll play a pivotal role in designing the digital baseband part of our cutting-edge GNSS/IoT chip. This role is for those who enjoy challenges and wish to contribute to the development of technology that powers GNSS L1/L5 receivers and BLE/Lora/NB-IoT transceivers.\nAs a Senior Communication System Engineer, you will help shape the future of our next-generation products. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of advanced communication systems, contributing to both innovation and performance optimization.\nKey Responsibilities:\nDesign and implement communication systems with a focus on bandwidth, latency, reliability, and power efficiency.\n\nDevelop innovative algorithms and solutions to address challenging system-level problems.\n\nAnalyze standard requirements (e.g., BLE, LTE) and benchmark competitor performance to guide strategic design decisions.\n\nCollaborate with cross-functional teams including hardware, software, and network engineers to ensure seamless system integration.\n\nWork closely with RTL implementation teams to support fixed-point modeling and ensure efficient FPGA/ASIC realization.\n\nDevelop and execute test plans to validate system performance and reliability.\n\nMaintain comprehensive documentation for system designs, configurations, and troubleshooting procedures\n\nRequirements\nWe’re looking for a result-driven engineer who thrives in a proactive, collaborative environment. The ideal candidate will have:\nStrong MATLAB programming and scripting skills.\n\nDeep knowledge of digital signal processing and physical layer components such as modulation/demodulation, filtering, channel estimation, equalization, and synchronization.\n\nSolid understanding of physical and MAC layers of at least one of the following standards:\nBluetooth: EDR, BLE\n\nCellular: 3G, NB-IoT, LTE, LTE-M\n\nLoRa: LoRa, LoRaWAN\n\nBroadcast/Space: DVB-T2, DVB-S2, CCSDS\n\nGNSS: GPS, Galileo, BeiDou, GLONASS\n\nIEEE: 802.11 family, 802.15 family\n\nProven experience collaborating with RTL teams, including:\nFixed-point calculations\n\nFPGA or ASIC implementation in communication systems\n\nNice to Have\nExperience with Simulink modeling and simulation.\n\nFamiliarity with system-level trade-offs in low-power wireless communication design.\n\nA Master degree or higher in Electrical Engineering.\n\nAt least 5 years of experience in designing, implementing, and troubleshooting communication systems.\n\nWhat's in it for you?\nAt Qualinx, we believe that great work starts with a great environment, pioneering technology and a fun dynamic market to address. Here’s what you can expect when you join our team:\nOwnership and Impact: We offer employee equity, giving you the opportunity to share in the success you help create.\n\nWell-being Matters: Your physical and mental health are important to us. We provide access to wellness resources, including company discounts and a free mental healthcare platform.\n\nGlobal Talent, Local Support: If you're relocating from abroad, we provide full support throughout the visa process to ensure a smooth transition.\n\nFuture-Focused Benefits: We contribute to your pension savings to help you plan ahead with confidence.\n\nInspiring Workspace: Work from a modern and vibrant, well-equipped office designed to help you do your best work.\n\nScale-up Team Spirit: We celebrate our wins together with fun quarterly events-think great food, games, and unforgettable experiences.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5333,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"master","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","RF & Wireless Hardware"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-11T20:11:39Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":9,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.33,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":175,"expected_fill_days":36,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/qualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/qualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-01T02:16:45Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":3357,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-02T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":689281},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=689281"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fqualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fqualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fqualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/qualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fqualinx-senior-communication-system-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":766390}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"qualinx.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":766390},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
