Research Engineer II (Electrical Engineering/Communications Engineering) - Choa Chu Kang

We aim to develop innovative solutions that can be commercialized into products and services for Continental through close collaboration with its business units.

We are looking for a Research Engineer II to support the development of powerline communication (PLC) systems for in-vehicle applications. The successful candidate will work on modeling and simulation of PLC channels, designing OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access) and spread-spectrum communication systems, and analyzing the impact of noise, interference, and EMC limits on communication performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Model and simulate PLC channel transfer functions in vehicle powerline networks.
• Develop and implement OFDMA systems with optimized bit- and power-loading for high-rate data communication.
• Explore spread-spectrum communication techniques with state-of-the-art codes for secure C&C signals.
• Analyze the impact of DC powerline bandwidth, power fluctuations, signal attenuation, and EMC limits on communication performance.
• Work with EMC research teammate to develop prototypes that meet system requirements.

Job Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or related fields.
• Strong background in communication systems, signal processing, and powerline communication.
• Experience with MATLAB, Simulink, or similar simulation tools.
• Knowledge of OFDMA and Spread Spectrum and their application to PLC systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

We regret that only shortlisted candidates will be notified.
