Senior RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer

The role

You will lead the design, development, and integration of digital signal processing algorithms for communication systems. You will architect, develop, test, and integrate new DSP algorithms and software defined radio systems for satellites.

What you will do

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of DSP algorithms for embedded devices and SDRs
• Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of software and hardware engineers to develop software defined radio systems
• Act as technical leader and subject-matter expert helping to teach, grow, and mentor others in the team

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering or related science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field
• 8+ years of experience in RF digital communications and DSP systems
• Strong knowledge of DSP concepts such as: modems, channelizers, Doppler compensation, resampling signal processing, adaptive filtering, and floating vs fixed point implementations
• Strong knowledge of digital communications theory and systems including: spread spectrum, forward error correction, channel estimation, channel equalization, channel coding, and modulation types such
• Strong experience with signal detection topologies including: burst detection, digital up and down-conversion, IF signal processing, phase lock loops, costas loops, non-coherent detection, spreading a
• Strong experience in developing filter topologies including FIR filters, IIR filters, and trading between both implementations
• Strong experience implementing transmitting and receiving topologies in GNU Radio in simulation-only environments as well as coupled with GNU Radio-compatible SDRs
• Strong experience with Python, MATLAB, and/or C/C++
• Ability to work in a fast-paced and high velocity start-up atmosphere

Nice to have

• Experience with FPGA design, implementation, verification, and validation for RF applications
• Experience with signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic warfare (EW), and satellite telecommunications
• Experience with channel emulators, and writing system-level simulations that go beyond the DSP layer
• Experience with software defined radio hardware development including data converters (digital to analog and analog to digital converters), clock trees, and data converter interfaces
• Experience with coupled hardware and DSP algorithm design, specifically with respect to compensation and continuous monitoring of analog-front end characteristics

Benefits

• unlimited paid time off
• medical/dental/vision coverage
• life insurance
• paid parental leave
• many other perks

Before you apply

• Must be a U.S. person as defined by 22 C.F.R. § 120.15 or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license
