Position Summary:
Florida Atlantic Universitys Center for Connected Autonomy and AI (CA-AI) is seeking a Signal Processing Engineer- Boca Raton FL.
This is a one-year position with the possibility of renewal based on performance and evaluation.
This position will helpto advance the design development and experimental validation of wireless communication and sensing systems. The position centers on the development of next-generation wireless technologiesacoustic optical and RFsupporting applications in ocean monitoring robotics and autonomy.
You will join cross-disciplinary research teams working on prototype systemsthat integrate acoustic modems sensor arrays signal processing algorithms and AI-enabled control into autonomous platforms such as unmanned aerial surface and underwater vehicles (UAVs/USVs/UUVs). Your work will span algorithm development simulation and embedded implementation with opportunities to transition concepts from the laboratory to field trials in coastal and offshore environments.
Summary of Responsibilities:
Design implement and evaluate signal processing algorithms for acoustic RF mmWave and hybrid wireless systems (acoustic/optical/RF).
Develop real-time communication and localization protocols for autonomous platforms operating in challenging bandwidth-limited and multipath-dominated channels.
Conduct modeling and simulation of propagation noise/interference conditions and channel variability to guide system performance expectations.
Implement algorithms on embedded and edge devices (SDRs FPGAs and low-power microcontrollers) for deployment in mobile and fixed platforms.
Lead laboratory experiments and contribute to at-sea testing including system deployment operation and recovery.
Collaborate with faculty graduate/undergraduate researchers and external partners (industry AFRL DIU NSF) to drive innovation in underwater wireless connectivity.
Document and communicate results through technical publications proposals and conference presentations.
