As a Senior DSP/Algorithm Design Engineer within the ERA RF Technologies engineering team, you will be responsible for digital signal processing blocks of EW, LOS, SATCOM and orbital RF communication systems that involves specification, design, analysis. This position requires a proven technical expertise on communication waveforms, signal conditioning, detection and estimation theory to create solutions for end-to-end datalink and ELINT/SIGINT systems. Inventiveness, adaptability and continuous learning inclination are highly regarded at ERA RF Technologies. Ideal candidate for this position should be able to design and develop DSP signal chains and algorithms; follow through integration and system performance validation activities; propose solutions to problems that may arise during product development and performance enhancement phases.
Job Responsibility:
Contribute to defining and identifying system-level specifications, assessing architectural limitations, and engineering constraints
Collaborate with system architects, RF engineers, digital design engineers to understand design requirements and ensure seamless integration of subsystems
Characterization and analysis of system architectures
Conceptual design from requirement analysis
Modelling and simulation of DSP signal chains
Performance validation of designed DSP blocks
Optimization of designed algorithms to meet hardware (FPGA/ASIC/Transceiver etc.) limitations
Adaptation of the algorithms into fixed-point and cycle exact designs for HDL implementations
Support digital design engineering team on VHDL coding, implementation and validation phases
Improve existing algorithms based on information and data collected from field operation on integrated platforms
Participate in the requirements analysis phase to determine design feasibility within time, cost, power, and other additional constraints (size, weight, reliability)
Recommend enhancements, improvements and innovations to the existing technology and design methodology and propose the development of effective solutions and prototypes, if/when required
Requirements:
BSEE or MSEE Degree in Electrical Engineering with an emphasis in digital signal processing or communication theory
BSEE+10 years or MSEE+8 years of DSP/Algorithm design
In-depth understanding of analytical/mathematical modeling of communication links, ELINT/SIGINT subsystems and related technologies
In-depth expertise on communication theory & signal processing related algorithms design (such as multiple access methods, frequency and timing recovery, signal estimation and detection, spread spectrum techniques, adaptive gain control, interference detection and cancellation, RF impairment estimation and correction, channel estimation, equalization, coding theory, etc.)
Experience with modeling and validation of digital signal processing algorithms in Matlab/Simulink environment
Knowledge of RF transceiver architectures and RF-to-Bits comprehension
Proficiency in written and spoken English
Ability to learn and apply new information quickly on solution proposals
Ability to embrace technological changes and resultant agile workflows
Ability to adapt to multi-disciplinary projects and cross-functional team structures
Conceptual understanding and comprehension of RF, analog and mixed-signal designs
Nice to have:
Experience on Software Defined Radios (SDRs)
Experience in defense, avionics or space projects
Experience on digital design, hardware description languages and FPGA architectures
Familiarity with RF, analog and mixed-signal design and their operational principles
