Digital Signal Processing Software Engineer

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Bright Silicon Technologies,locatedin

Pleasanton, Ca,is seeking anearlycareer

Software Engineer who is passionate about movingnew technology to production.

We are looking for an engineer tobridge the gap between users and our hardware,refine networking and controls software stacks,andwhohas the ability towork with a cross-functional team to design, build, and testa precision beam steering device.

We are a small team pioneering the state-of-the-artsolid-state optical beam-control, looking for innovators and hard workers. Ifyou’rea talented “take on anything” engineer and ready to have a leading role in the future of an exciting technology and valuable company, come join us.

• Algorithm Design & Simulation:
  
  Develop, model, and simulate advanced DSP algorithms and feedback control loops using tools like MATLAB,Python, or C++

• Controls Integration:
  
  Apply controls theory principles (e.g., state-space representations, transfer functions, digital filtering, PID tuning, stability analysis via Bode/Nyquist plots) to continuous and discrete-time signal processing challenges

• System Optimization:
  
  Optimize algorithms for constrained environments, focusing on latency minimization, memory footprint reduction, and execution speed

• Cross-Functional Collaboration:
  
  Partner with hardware, firmware, and application software teams todefine and integrate DSP pipelines into our core product architecture

• Testing & Validation:
  
  Conduct rigorous code reviews, unit testing, and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing tovalidateperformance against mathematical models

• Experience prototyping and modeling discrete or continuous control systemsusingPythonorMATLAB

• Familiarity with linear algebra (Vectors, Matrices, etc.)

• Direct experience translating system designs from high-level mathematical languages into performance-focusedC++ code

• Strong system-level programming and process automation skillsutilizingC++, Python, and MATLAB

• Hands-on experience developing multithreaded applications andhigh-performance communication protocols

• Excellent communication skills withexperienceworking with a cross-functional,distributed team

• A self-starter mindset with the ability to take ownership of projects and independently implement, test, and improve designs

• System-oriented, with the ability and desire to dive deep into the smallest detail

• This position will work on Government sensitive information(CUIandITAR) requiringU.S. Person status(citizen, lawful permanent resident(green card holder), or a protected individual)

An ideal candidate would have familiarity with:

• Experience deploying algorithms on embedded microcontrollers, DSP chips, or FPGAs

• Working closely with embedded environments and interfacing directly with physical hardware or laboratory equipment over standard serial or industrial interfaces
