About Morse Micro: Morse Micro is at the forefront of next-generation Wi-Fi technology, delivering breakthrough solutions that redefine wireless connectivity. Our innovative products are designed to meet the demands of the rapidly evolving market, providing superior performance and reliability.
Are you an experienced Wi-Fi chip designer with a deep understanding of the IEEE 802.11 PHY Layer? Do you want to play a key role in building next generation Wi-Fi chips that will truly enable the Internet of Things (IoT)? Keen to make a real difference in a VC-backed high-growth company while working in a dynamic & fun environment? Then join Morse Micro, Australia’s largest fabless semiconductor company!
You will be responsible for the design, integration, verification and bring-up of an IEEE 802.11ah PHY to be used in Morse Micro’s family of Wi-Fi chips. You’ll work with the digital, systems and firmware teams to help architect and verify the PHY and ensure functional and performance goals are achieved.
You will need to be experienced with digital PHY architecture and DSP design suitable for 802.11 protocols on advanced low-power process nodes. Your day-to-day will involve RTL design and simulation using contemporary languages and tools. You’ll work closely with the team to address and improve digital and system aspects of the design. You’ll also help with bringup of the PHY on silicon, evaluate performance of pre-production silicon and take your design to high-volume mass production.

BONUS SKILLS (THESE WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT IN YOUR APPLICATION):

• Proven experience performing phy bring up, debug and performance measurement on silicon in the lab
• A good understanding of embedded processors, familiarity with RISC-V is a plus
• A solid understanding of mixed signal ASIC design and simulation
• Experience using the git revision control tool
• Experience with development and debugging of digital designs from RTL design through
