Job Summary
DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing Engineer)
(Full-time On-site - Relocation Provided)
Active TS/SCI security clearance
Summary
We are seeking highly skilled DSP Engineers to join a cutting-edge team focused on real-time Software Defined Radio (SDR) RF signal processing and protocol exploitation systems for Intelligence and Defense applications. Ideal candidates bring proven expertise across a broad spectrum of wireless protocols hands-on experience in innovative R&D for real-time SDR and protocol processing and strong software development skills. You will thrive in an autonomous environment driving solutions from concept to operational deployment with minimal supervision.
This is an exceptional opportunity to perform groundbreaking work on advanced signal collection processing and exploitation in complex RF environments contributing directly to national security missions.
Key Responsibilities
- Design develop and implement engineering solutions to collect process and exploit RF signals.
- Apply advanced knowledge of digital communications principles including signal detection estimation demodulation and related techniques.
- Develop modeling approaches create proofs-of-concept iterate on prototypes and deliver mature operational systems.
- Build and optimize real-time signal processing applications often involving multi-threaded algorithms in C/C and Python on Linux platforms.
- Collaborate in distributed team settings while maintaining high autonomy and ownership of technical deliverables.
- Document work effectively through excellent written and verbal communication including technical reports presentations and code documentation.
- Contribute to code management practices using tools like Git.
Required Qualifications
- Active TS/SCI clearance (with polygraph preferred where applicable).
- Proven experience developing solutions for RF signal collection processing and exploitation.
- Strong knowledge of digital communications theory and techniques (detection estimation demodulation).
- Demonstrated ability to create modeling techniques proofs-of-concept prototypes and transition them to operational systems.
- Proficiency in C/C and Python development.
- Systems development experience within Intelligence Community (IC) and/or Defense environments.
- Familiarity with code management/version control systems (e.g. Git).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Bachelors degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering Computer Science Mathematics or a closely related field (or equivalent professional experience).
Preferred Qualifications
- Hands-on knowledge of Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms and development.
- Familiarity with X-Midas (a portable networked signal processing and analysis environment commonly used in SIGINT/RF applications).
- Understanding of geolocation theory and techniques.
- Experience operating in complex or challenging RF environments.
- Knowledge of wireless air interface protocols across various standards.
- Expertise in multi-threaded signal processing algorithms implemented in Python/C on Linux hosts.
- Comfort working effectively in distributed cross-functional team environments.
