Project / Unit Description
The Information and Communications Laboratory (ICL), Communications Systems and Spectrum Division (CSSD) Advanced Communication Systems Branch (ACSB) seeks a senior Signal Processing Engineer to research and develop innovative solutions for wireless communications and spectrum sensing systems. The Division merges advanced digital signal processing (DSP), communications technologies, adaptive algorithms, and AI/ML to create systems for adaptive communications, intelligent wideband spectrum sensing, electronic warfare (EW), and next‑generation cellular network technologies.
Projects span applied research to field demonstrations and deployed prototypes across many branches of the Federal Government.
Develop and apply mathematical, statistical, computational, or modeling techniques to generate algorithms for analog or digital signal processing. This includes time‑ and frequency‑domain signal algorithms, communications and spectrum sensing algorithms, image processing algorithms, and sensors such as lidar or computer vision. Must write code in assembly or higher‑level environments, integrating algorithms into hardware, firmware, or software systems.
