Impulse is seeking a Senior Digital Signal Processing Engineer to lead the development, implementation, and verification of advanced signal-processing algorithms for high-performance communication systems in next-generation space vehicles.
You will design, implement, and optimize DSP algorithms for advanced communication systems, with a focus on symbol timing recovery, carrier recovery, and equalization. Your responsibilities include performing fixed-point modeling, quantization analysis, and algorithm optimization for hardware deployment. You will use MATLAB and Simulink for modeling, simulation, and verification of DSP processing chains, and collaborate closely with FPGA design teams to translate algorithms into hardware-efficient architectures.
Additional responsibilities include supporting development of hardware architectures (data-path specification and resource balancing), participating in lab integration and system bring-up, debugging DSP and FPGA subsystems, and analyzing system performance to propose enhancements for robustness, efficiency, and scalability.
This is a hands-on technical role requiring strong theoretical DSP knowledge, practical fixed-point implementation experience, and direct hardware integration skills.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Minimum 5+ years of experience in DSP or related field
- Strong foundation in DSP theory and digital communication principles
- Expertise in symbol timing recovery, equalization, carrier recovery, and related DSP components
- Proficiency with MATLAB and Simulink for algorithm development and modeling
- Experience with fixed-point DSP, fixed-point arithmetic, and implementation constraints for hardware
- Familiarity with hardware architecture design principles
- Ability to work effectively with FPGA and digital hardware engineers
- Experience with lab testing, hardware debugging, and system integration
- Excellent problem-solving, communication, and technical-leadership skills
