Why Join Rincon Research Corporation (RRC)?

At Rincon Research Corporation, our primary business is innovating, developing, and fielding digital signal processing (DSP) products and services for the United States Defense and Intelligence Communities in support of national security.

Rincon Research Corporation is seeking an Advanced Digital Signal Processing Engineer to serve as a part of a dynamic team to build a new, end-to-end development program studying, designing, and deploying advanced orbit determination, maneuver planning and constellation management missions for United States Government space systems. RRC is looking for an exceptional experienced DSP engineer to support this program through all phases of development—from early architecture and System Requirements Review (SRR) through Critical Design Review (CDR), integration, testing, and finally deployment into operational systems.

In this role, you will work with other team members to engineer a complex space program. As a small business, RRC offers a unique opportunity to combine hands‑on technical depth with senior‑level leadership, allowing you to remain deeply engaged in detailed design and engineering decisions while helping to guide the overall program.

You will work in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment alongside talented electrical engineers, mathematicians, aerospace engineers, and computer scientists/engineers. At RRC, DSP engineers are involved across the entire system lifecycle from architecture and development through deployment, operations, and sustainment—receiving direct feedback from customers and seeing their work make a tangible, real-world impact. Innovation is expected: team members are encouraged to propose improvements to system architectures, engineering processes, tools, and security posture.

Come join the team that is creating cutting edge signal processing and geolocation systems for the future!

What are the primary responsibilities in the Advanced DSP/Communications Engineer position?
