Signal Processing Engineer Salem

Position Overview

We are seeking a Wireless Physical Layer Algorithms Engineer to own waveform and DSP design for our satellite communication payloads. You will translate system-level link requirements into complete PHY chains, including modulation, coding, synchronization, and framing, and validate them through simulation and SDR-based prototypes. This is a hands-on role that bridges communication theory, practical DSP implementation, and close collaboration with FPGA and SDR engineers.

Key Responsibilities

Design end-to-end physical layer waveform chains for satellite links, including modulation, demodulation, coding, interleaving, synchronization, and framing.

Develop link budgets and performance targets, and translate them into algorithmic and implementation requirements for the payload physical layer.

Implement and validate DSP algorithms for filtering, timing recovery, carrier recovery, frequency/phase tracking, and signal detection in simulation environments (e.g., Python/C++, MATLAB/NumPy/SciPy, or similar).

Build and maintain simulation models and test benches for PHY performance evaluation (BER/PER curves, Eb/N0 performance, robustness to channel impairments, etc.).

Collaborate with FPGA/RTL engineers to partition algorithms between software and hardware, define fixed-point architectures, and support productive hardware implementation.

Work with SDR / GNU Radio engineers to bring up reference implementations of the PHY chain on SDR platforms for lab and over-the-air testing.

Define and refine interface control documents (ICDs), test plans, and design rationale for physical layer algorithms.

Support troubleshooting and root-cause analysis of link-level issues across simulation, SDR prototypes, and hardware-in-the-loop setups.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent documented qualified experience.
