As part of a multidisciplinary team of RF engineers, embedded developers, and security researchers, you will apply deep DSP expertise to reverse engineer real‑world systems, design and implement advanced wireless algorithms, and develop mission‑focused RF applications that deliver meaningful national security impact.

What You Will Do

Analyze system and software requirements to determine design feasibility within performance, schedule, and cost constraints

Design, implement, and optimize digital signal processing algorithms for real‑world wireless systems

Perform signal detection, identification, classification, and decoding of captured waveforms

Develop and evaluate receiver, transmitter, and modem architectures for RF systems

Perform RF signal reception and transmission using common modulation schemes (FSK, PSK, QAM, OFDM, etc.)

Solve complex technical problems in communications, signals collection, electronic warfare, and data processing

Develop experiments and prototypes in laboratory environments using SDR hardware, FPGA development platforms, and RF test and measurement equipment

Contribute subject matter expertise in DSP, Software Defined Radio (SDR), and wireless communications systems

What You Will Need (Minimum Qualifications)

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related scientific discipline

Minimum of 3 years of hands‑on DSP development experience using Texas Instruments (TI) DSP platforms (e.g., C6000 family or similar), including real‑time signal processing applications

Minimum of 3 years of experience developing DSP and SDR systems in a laboratory environment using SDRs, FPGAs, and RF test equipment

Experience designing and implementing receiver, transmitter, and modem signal chains in cellular, radio, or RF communication systems

Experience with physical layer (PHY) and Medium Access Control (MAC) layer concepts, including waveform processing, synchronization, channel estimation, framing, and link‑level behavior

Minimum of 3 years of experience with one or more modern development languages: C, C++, Embedded C

Familiarity with open‑source signal processing libraries and frameworks

Software‑defined radio expertise, including receiver architectures, channelization, modulation/demodulation techniques, error‑correcting codes, and spectral analysis

Experience implementing DSP algorithms with real‑time or near‑real‑time performance constraints on CPU‑, DSP‑, or FPGA‑based platforms
