Senior DSP Engineer (algorithm modeling)
Direct hire, REMOTE okay for strong candidate
(No Visas)
Requisition #7270
Position Description
This Senior DSP Engineer will report to the Vice President of Engineering at a smaller co. in a niche space (wireless network performance hardware and software). The Sr. Wireless Digital Signal Processing Engineer will need a broad engineering skill set, innovative spirit, and desire to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Working as part of the Development Team you will be responsible for the design and implementation of DSP algorithms for the PHY layer of 4G/5G communication systems. Engineering responsibilities will begin at the conceptual phase and extend through product design and deployment. This is an excellent position for a talented, motivated experienced engineer seeking the opportunity to develop industry leading solutions.
Requirements (in order of priority)
5+ years demonstrated expertise in DSP algorithm modeling and development using MATLAB with the focus on communications systems and signals.
In-depth knowledge of 4G/5G air interface; PHY layer algorithm design and simulation for OFDM systems; familiarity with wireless base station architectures.
Experience implementing Digital Front-End (DFE) signal processing techniques, including digital filtering, crest factor reduction, digital predistortion, and digital upconversion/downconversion for 4G/5G systems.
Must be familiar with and understand basic RF concepts, ADC concepts, the concepts of radio frequency propagation, MIMO, beamforming, channel modelling, modulation and demodulation of wireless signals, basic RF components used in 4G/5G radio design.
Must be familiar with software development, FPGA development, algorithm implementation using fixed point models. Strong skills in digital signal processing algorithm development, analysis and implementation.
Experience with algorithm testing and algorithm implementation using software defined radios is a plus.
Proven ability to take projects from conception to design validation and final verification.
Good communication skills. Able to clearly and concisely communicate with team members, sales team, customers and management on issues concerning designs and other business issues.
Experience with patent disclosures and filings is a plus and will be part of the job.
Working knowledge of C/C++/ Python is a plus.
Additional information
Occasional domestic travel in support of customer meetings or product trials is required.
Travel is estimated at about 10% of the time.
Since co. makes equipment for cellular operators and cellular networks operate 24/7, on
rare occasions some work (particularly during product trials) may have to be performed
during off hours.
Education/Experience
BSEE OR MSEE or similar with emphasis on digital signal processing for wireless applications
