• Collaborate with cross-functional teams - including hardware engineers, software developers, and system architects - to develop and integrate DSP solutions.
• Receive and interpret technical instruction for defined project goals and collaborate on broader system designs.
• Participate in meetings and communications with customers and partners to support project requirements and ensure deliverables are aligned with expectations.
• Apply modern DSP techniques, algorithms, and methodologies to enhance existing architectures and develop cutting-edge solutions.
• Contribute to complex problem-solving through hands-on development and team brainstorming.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering (or related field) and 6+ years of prior relevant experience or Master's Degree and 4+ years of prior relevant experience.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance.

DSP Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Intermediate Digital Signal Processing Algorithms.
• Solid understanding of DSP concepts such as filtering, FFT, and sampling theory.
• Proficiency in Communications theory.
• Some Proficiency in programming languages preferably C or C++.

FPGA Qualifications:

• Strong interest in FPGA development and low-resource digital design techniques.
• Experience with RTL design in VHDL simulation tools, and synthesis flows.
• Familiarity with FPGA platforms (e.g., Xilinx, Microchip) and embedded system development is a plus.

Preferred Technical Competencies:

• Software Defined Radios
• Digital Signal Processing Theory
• Signal Processing Algorithms: e.g., Rate conversion, Correlation and Filtering
