Digital Signal Processing Senior Engineer
Join our team and build the future of space technology
We are expanding our team at Alén Space and are looking for a senior DSP engineer with a passion for what you do, talented and experienced, to lead our Mission Control Center team and help build the future of space technology.
You will be part of a large team of engineers to develop integrated radio solutions for space communications systems. You will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGA).
What you will be doing?
* Design digital communication systems using platforms including software defined radios (SDR) and FPGAs.
* Functional modeling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high-level languages (C/C++).
* Support the evolution of our custom, space-adapted radio platforms.
Main languages/technologies used:
* Verilog/SystemVerilog
* Yosys/Xilinx Vivado
* Python
* C/C++
* GNURadio
Examples of existing applications already developed by Alén Space:
* DVB-S2 transmitter in Verilog
* ADS-B Receiver in Verilog
* AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channel) and CPU (GNURadio/C++)
* Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C
What do we need in our team?
* Experience with Matlab/Octave, C/C++ and/or Python for algorithm development, modeling (floating and fixed point), and link-level simulation.
* In-depth understanding of receiver synchronization algorithms (such as synchronization recovery, phase recovery, automatic gain control, etc.).
* Experience with signal detection and parameter estimation algorithms.
* Experience with channel encoding and decoding algorithms (Reed Solomon, BCH, LDPC, convolutional codes, turbocodes, etc.).
* Good oral and written communication skills in English.
Valuable knowledge:
* Experience with real-time SW implementation of DSP algorithms (C/C++).
* Experience with implementing DSP algorithms on FPGAs (VHDL/Verilog).
* Experience with High Level Synthesis tools (HDL encoder, Vivado HLS, etc.).
* Experience with Software Defined Radio platforms at prototype level (Hack-RF, Blade-rf, Adalm-pluto, Lime-sdr, rtl-sdr, etc.).
* Experience configuring Analog Devices transceivers (such as the AD936x family).
* Experience with the signal waveforms of the following communication standards: ADSB, DVBS2, AIS, VDES, CCSDS Telemetry and Telecommand.
* Experience with signals intelligence algorithms (SIGINT).
Candidate qualifications and skills:
* Work remotely 80% of the time.
* Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.
* Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews and flexible compensation.
* Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and coffee, free lunch every Friday, and much more!
* Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support.
* Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment.
