Senior Embedded DSP Engineer, High Performance Signal Processing

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Mission: Build next generation counter-UAV defense systems that will be used to defend human lives, critical infrastructure, and high value assets for the United States and its allies.
• Radar signal processing: Develop high performance radar and RF sensing signal processing software, including FFT processing, beamforming and detection on high performance embedded systems, to detect and track targets…
• Modeling & simulation: Develop radar models and simulation tools to prototype candidate algorithms and simulate the performance of the radar system and generate test vectors to validate the accuracy of the radar system.
• Firmware development: Write highly efficient, well-tested production code in C/C++ across platforms ranging from lower power MCUs to high-performance multi-core processors.
• Algorithm and software validation: Develop unit, functional and lab tests to validate the numerical accuracy, real-time performance of the individual software modules and end-to-end signal processing chain.
• Hardware co-design: Work with hardware engineers on component selection and optimal hardware-software trade-offs (performance, power, form factor and cost).
• RF calibration & seeker optimization: Develop automated calibration methods and software for measuring, storing, and applying RF signal-chain corrections.
• Testing and reliability: Own embedded software quality and reliability and signal processing chain performance by proactively identifying, documenting/tracking and fixing issues to maintain the high performance of…
