    • Develop filtering and signal processing techniques that improve system performance across a variety of RF environments.
    • Implement and optimize DSP algorithms for FPGA-based radio platforms.
    • Collaborate with software engineers to integrate signal processing capabilities into production software.
    • Support hardware development activities, including hardware builds, integration, and system bring-up.
    • Perform systems engineering activities such as technical trade studies, architecture evaluations, and hardware performance analysis.
    • Research and evaluate emerging signal processing methods, hardware technologies, and implementation approaches.
    • Contribute throughout the engineering lifecycle, from concept development through integration and testing.


    What You'll Bring

    • Active U.S. Security Clearance.
    • Strong background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
    • Experience working with analog, digital, narrowband, and wideband RF signal sets.
    • Experience designing and implementing filtering techniques and signal processing algorithms.
    • Understanding of FPGA implementation for radio or signal processing applications.
    • Experience collaborating across hardware, software, and systems engineering disciplines.
    • Familiarity with both traditional DSP techniques and machine learning-based signal processing methods.


    Preferred Qualifications

    • Bachelor's or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
    • Experience with RF communications, electronic warfare, radar, SIGINT, or related technologies.
    • Experience managing hardware builds, system integration, or laboratory testing.
    • Knowledge of embedded or real-time signal processing environments.
    • Ability to work across multiple engineering disciplines in a fast-paced R&D environment.


    Nice-to-Have Skills

    • FPGA development for radio or RF applications.
    • Electronic Warfare (EW).
    • RF communications.
    • Radar or SIGINT.
    • Hardware integration and system bring-up.
    • Hardware trade studies.
    • Machine learning applied to signal processing. 



    Join us in developing innovative technologies that solve complex RF and signal processing challenges supporting national security missions.
