Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKunal Sankhe is a Senior Modem System Engineer with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University and nine years of experience building signal-processing and cross-layer communication solutions for wireless systems. At Qualcomm he develops fixed-point and system models for RF impairment compensation and leads cross-functional design reviews to deliver low-latency, low-power LTE and 5G transceiver algorithms from pre-silicon to product commercialization. His doctoral research and lab projects applied deep learning and CNNs to radio fingerprinting, AP discovery, and piggyback IoT signaling—work that produced a 99% classification accuracy on SDR testbeds and a demonstrated WiFi latency reduction from 150 ms to 10 ms. He combines strong MATLAB/C++/Python implementation skills with hands-on SDR testbed experience and a track record of automating validation and profiling to tighten development cycles. Colleagues rely on him to translate cutting-edge research into practical, silicon-ready solutions that balance performance, memory, and power constraints.
