NorthwoodSpace Senior DSP Engineer at NorthwoodSpace owns the definition and development of modem algorithms for next-generation radio platforms. Responsibilities include waveform processing chain definition, FPGA and embedded compute implementation, and collaboration with RF and systems engineers.

Responsibilities

This role is a great fit for an engineer who thinks fluently in waveforms and signal chains and is comfortable moving that thinking into real implementation, without needing to own the surrounding RF hardware, data-converter, clocking, or embedded systems architecture.
Own the definition and development of modem algorithms end-to-end, from requirements through implementation and validation
Define waveform processing chains — synchronization, pulse shaping, equalization, and related signal-processing functions — for implementation on an in-house SDR platform or FPGA
Partition and implement modem signal-processing functions across FPGA logic and embedded/host-based compute, working within the existing hardware platform
Collaborate with RF, FPGA, and systems engineers to integrate modem algorithms into the end-to-end system and validate performance
Develop and run communication system tests to characterize modem performance under realistic channel impairments

Qualification

Experience with beamformingAdditional InformationTo conform to U

Required

Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field
Experience developing modems or waveform processing chains for SDR, wireless communications, radar, or similar RF systems
Strong understanding of digital communications theory: CCSDS waveforms, BPSK/QPSK/OQPSK, DVB-S2, carrier synchronization, pulse shaping, equalization, and Doppler effects
Demonstrated ability to carry waveform algorithms from analysis and prototyping through to a working implementation, rather than stopping at simulation
Working understanding of the complete signal chain and how modem design decisions interact with RF and hardware constraints
Experience with communication system testing and performance characterization

Preferred

Experience with bit-equivalence verification through FPGAs
Familiarity with SDR frameworks such as GNU Radio
Experience with real-time signal processing
Systems programming skills in C++ or Rust, with Rust especially valued
Experience with beamforming, radar, or electronic warfare (EW) systems
