What will you do?
  • Design, develop, implement, test, and optimize DSP algorithms in software.
  • Develop algorithms supporting high-throughput signal exploitation and processing.
  • Develop signal-processing solutions for complex signal environments, including:
    • Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)
    • Higher-order modulation
    • Adaptive modulation
  • Develop and maintain DSP and RF-related software using C++, Python, Linux, or similar development technologies.
  • Translate DSP concepts and mathematical models into operational software implementations.
  • Modify existing software and/or firmware to meet specialized Government requirements.
  • Adapt and integrate Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) products.
  • Develop models and algorithms for processing and exploiting signals of interest.
  • Analyze and optimize algorithms for performance, throughput, efficiency, and accuracy.
  • Support integration of developed algorithms into larger RF and signal-processing systems.
  • Troubleshoot software, firmware, DSP, and algorithm-related performance issues.
  • Clearly document developed algorithms, models, processing techniques, and technical approaches.
  • Provide concise technical explanations of developed models and algorithms so other team members can understand, maintain, and utilize them.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, RF engineers, systems engineers, and other technical team members throughout the development lifecycle.

Do you have what it takes?
  • US Citizen with TS/SCI with Poly required
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline focused on DSP algorithms from an accredited college or university.
