Job description

Reporting to the Chief Operations Officer as part of an engineering R&D team, theDSP Engineer will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing advanced signal processing algorithms. Work will include designing signal detection and optimization algorithms, waveform design, implementation of modulation and demodulation methods and general RF communications systems based on Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies within multi-element antenna topologies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize FPGA and ASIC-based digital signal processing systems for next-generation communication platforms
  • Collaborate with ASIC, RF, and systems engineering teams to ensure seamless integration and performance optimization
  • Develop and test FPGA modules using Verilog/VHDL for high-reliability and radiation-tolerant environments
  • Troubleshoot and debug FPGA, firmware, and embedded systems issues in both lab and customer environments
  • Perform system-level testing, including BER, NPR, and interoperability testing using industry-standard lab equipment
  • Develop test tools and automation scripts (Python, MATLAB) for data collection, analysis, and system validation
  • Support customer integration efforts and provide on-site technical assistance when needed
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of design methodologies, tools, and testing frameworks

Required Qualifications

  • Must be a U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a Secret clearance
  • S. in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, MSE preferred
  • 7+ years of experience in DSP, FPGA, or ASIC development
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++, Python, and hardware description languages (Verilog/VHDL)
  • Experience with FPGA development tools (Xilinx, Altera/Intel) and simulation environments (e.g., QuestaSim)
  • Solid understanding of digital communications systems, including modulation, coding, and signal analysis
  • Experience with lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and network analyzers
  • Familiarity with embedded systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS, Linux)
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision in a fast-paced environment

Additional Qualification:

  • Experience with satellite communications or software-defined radio (SDR) systems
  • Knowledge of radiation effects and space-grade FPGA design
  • Experience working in Agile development environments
  • Familiarity with cryptography and telecommunications systems
  • Desired experience in: Image processing Software Defined Radio Channelization/ Reconstruction Array processing Radar, Artificial Intelligence, Beamforming
  • Active TS security clearance is a plus
