Job Title:

Software Engineer – Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

This role focuses on the design, analysis, and validation of advanced digital signal processing algorithms, primarily using MATLAB, with implementation support in C and C++ for embedded systems. You will work across the full development lifecycle, from interpreting requirements and designing algorithms through testing, validation, and documentation. The position requires strong signal analysis skills, a solid embedded software background, and the ability to clearly communicate complex technical concepts to internal teams and customers.

• Perform full lifecycle software development with a strong emphasis on signal processing algorithm design, analysis, and validation.
• Develop, analyze, and prototype DSP algorithms primarily in MATLAB for a variety of signal processing applications.
• Support the implementation and optimization of signal processing algorithms in C and C++ for embedded and performance‑critical environments.
• Apply techniques such as matched filtering, CFAR, Doppler processing, Kalman filtering, FFT-based analysis, Cross Ambiguity Function, I/Q data processing, noise floor analysis, and geolocation in algorithm development.
• Review and interpret customer requirements, translating them into signal processing approaches, software designs, and clear technical documentation.
• Develop and execute test plans and procedures to validate signal processing performance, functionality, and robustness.
• Evaluate test data, perform algorithm validation and performance analysis, and refine algorithms based on results.
• Debug, troubleshoot, and resolve software and algorithm issues to ensure compliance with functional specifications and performance targets.
• Collaborate closely with hardware and embedded software engineers to support integration of algorithms with electronic components, boards, and firmware.
• Participate in design and code reviews, address defects, and follow established development and configuration management processes.
• Work under technical leadership while demonstrating initiative, ownership, and self-direction in daily tasks and long‑term projects.
• Contribute to proposal and planning efforts by helping define technical tasks, estimating effort, and identifying risks when needed.
• Present and explain signal processing concepts, software designs, and results to internal teams and customers in a clear and concise manner.

• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering, computer science, or related technical discipline.
• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Strong experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and signal analysis.
• Proficiency with MATLAB for signal processing algorithm development, analysis, and prototyping.
• Experience with C and C++ for software development, particularly in embedded or performance‑critical environments.
• Hands‑on experience with Linux in a software development context.
• Ability to interpret requirements and translate them into robust algorithm and software designs.
• Strong debugging and problem‑solving skills for both software and algorithmic issues.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills to explain technical approaches and results to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• 2+ years of programming experience with embedded C/C++ and Python.
• Experience writing automated test scripts to validate software and algorithms.
• Proficiency with scripting languages such as Python for data analysis, test automation, or tooling.
• Familiarity with the Atlassian tool suite and related add‑ons, including Git and Confluence, for version control and collaboration.
• Experience working within an Agile software development process.
• Understanding of hardware–software compatibility matrix processes and considerations.
• Background or interest in working with equipment used in defense or military‑related installations.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Department of Defense Secret‑level security clearance; an active DoD Interim Secret or Secret clearance is preferred.
• Interest in seeing products progress from initial design through…
