You’ll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams spanning ASIC/FPGA design, RF/optical hardware, and system engineering to translate advanced algorithms into efficient, deployable modem solutions. This is a remote position that will include occasional travel to our Mountain View, CA location. Key Responsibilities: Design, develop, and optimize coherent DSP algorithms for high-speed communication systems Architect end-to-end modem DSP chains including equalization, timing recovery, carrier recovery, and FEC integration. Perform system-level modeling, simulation, and performance analysis, including link budgets and channel impairments. Develop advanced algorithms such as: Timing and carrier synchronization loops Evaluate and model optical and electrical channels, including optical components, ADC/DAC, AFE, and mixed-signal impairments. Define DSP architecture specifications for ASIC/FPGA implementation, ensuring efficient mapping to hardware. Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to integrate DSP algorithms into modem designs. Support lab bring-up, validation, and characterization of modem systems. Analyze relevant industry standards (e.g., OIF, Ethernet, optical transport) and incorporate them into designs. Required Qualifications: Active security clearance, or the eligibility to obtain one. M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field. Strong foundation in: Digital signal processing Communication theory Hands-on experience with coherent DSP or high-speed SerDes/optical systems. Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and/or C/C++ for modeling and algorithm development. Experience with: Adaptive equalization and synchronization algorithms System-level simulation and performance analysis Familiarity with ASIC/FPGA implementation flows and hardware constraints. Ability to translate theoretical algorithms into practical, power- and area-efficient implementations. Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work across multidisciplinary teams. Hands-on lab experience with high-speed communication systems. Experience with developing cycle accurate fixed point system models. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with coherent optical communication systems. Knowledge of IMDD or optical transport systems. Experience with time-interleaved ADCs and calibration techniques. Familiarity with industry standards (OIF, OpenROADM, IEEE Ethernet). What We Offer: Innovative Environment: Work at a cutting-edge company shaping the future of aerospace communications. Impactful Work: Directly contribute to critical national security programs and initiatives. Growth Opportunities: Expand your career with opportunities for professional development and advancement. Inclusive Culture: Be part of a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace where your contributions matter. Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
