Principle DSP Engineer

Job Description

The Role

\n

We’re looking for a Principal DSP Engineer to set the technical direction for the digital beamforming and radar signal processing at the heart of our phased array systems. As a foundational technical leader, you’ll help set the direction of both our product and signal-processing roadmap, define the algorithmic architectures that underpin our systems, and establish the modeling and verification culture the team scales on.

\n

You’ll work across the full signal path—from algorithm concept through real-time implementation—partnering closely with RFIC, antenna, and digital hardware teams. As a principal-level individual contributor, you’ll be the person others turn to on the hardest signal-processing problems, and the decisions you make will ripple through every product we build.

Responsibilities

\n

\n
• Develop digital beamforming algorithms for phased array communications and radar systems
\n
• Design and prototype radar signal processing chains—detection, Doppler, pulse compression, clutter mitigation, and tracking
\n
• Take algorithms from concept and modeling through real-time implementation on FPGA/SoC platforms
\n
• Analyze performance against system requirements (SNR, dynamic range, angular accuracy, false-alarm and detection rates)
\n
• Collaborate with RFIC, antenna, and digital hardware teams to co-optimize the array and the processing that drives it
\n
• Support lab bring-up, data collection, and over-the-air validation of fabricated systems
\n
• Define algorithmic architectures and lead the most complex and ambiguous processing challenges
\n
• Set technical direction across the DSP roadmap and influence system-level trade-offs spanning RF, antenna, and digital
\n
• Establish modeling, coding, and verification standards; mentor and elevate the broader team
