DSP Engineer (Early Career)

Responsibilities

• Own the design, validation, and testing of physical layer algorithms for demodulation and beamforming applications
• Develop and maintain floating- and fixed-point algorithm models in Python and Rust
• Collaborate with FPGA engineers to validate fixed-point implementations appropriate for RTL, ensuring high fidelity between model and hardware
• Contribute to RF systems analysis and dynamic link budgeting for phased array systems
• Take ownership of customer waveform requirements and end-to-end delivery

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree with 2+ years of relevant experience, or Master's degree, in a field involving numerical algorithm development
• Strong programming skills in Python
• Exposure to lower-level languages such as C++ or Rust
• Solid end-to-end understanding of digital communications — modulation, pulse shaping, synchronization, and demodulation
• Demonstrated ownership of an algorithmic outcome: you built something, deployed it, and found out if it worked

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with SDR frameworks such as GNU Radio
• Experience with fixed-point algorithm development
• Knowledge of satellite communications standards such as CCSDS or DVB-S2X
• Experience with FPGA development or close collaboration with FPGA engineers
• Experience modeling physical systems to inform adaptive algorithm design
• Experience building or contributing to high-performance numerical libraries or frameworks

Compensation and Benefits

• DSP Engineer/Level 1: $100,000 - $140,000 per year
• DSP Engineer/Level 2: $140,000 - $170,000 per year
• Base salary determined by job-related knowledge, skills, education, and experience
• Equity in the form of stock options or other long-term incentives, potential performance bonuses
• Comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, 401(k), short- and long-term disability insurance, life insurance, paid parental leave, generous paid time off, and various perks
