  • 8+ years of experience in RF digital communications and DSP systems.
  • Strong knowledge of DSP concepts including modems, channelizers, Doppler compensation, resampling signal processing, adaptive filtering, and floating-point vs fixed-point implementations.
  • Strong knowledge of digital communications theory and systems including spread spectrum, forward error correction, channel estimation, channel equalization, channel coding, and modulation types such as FSK, BPSK, QPSK, QAM, and PCM/FM.
  • Strong experience with signal detection topologies including burst detection, digital up and down-conversion, IF signal processing, phase-locked loops, Costas loops, non-coherent detection, and spreading/de-spreading algorithms.
  • Strong experience developing filter topologies including FIR and IIR filters and evaluating tradeoffs between them.
  • Strong experience implementing transmit and receive topologies in GNU Radio in both simulation-only environments and with GNU Radio-compatible SDRs.
  • Strong experience with Python, MATLAB, and/or C/C++.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, high-velocity startup environment.
  • Experience with FPGA design, implementation, verification, and validation for RF applications (preferred).
  • Experience with SIGINT, electronic warfare, and satellite telecommunications (preferred).
  • Experience with channel emulators and system-level simulations beyond the DSP layer (preferred).
  • Experience with SDR hardware development including data converters, clock trees, and data converter interfaces (preferred).
  • Experience with coupled hardware and DSP algorithm design, including compensation and continuous monitoring of analog front-end characteristics (preferred).
  • Must be a U.S. person or otherwise eligible for a federally issued export control license.

Benefits

  • Base salary range of $200,000 to $270,000 plus equity in the company.
