Responsibilities

Own modem algorithm definition and development from requirements through implementation and validation.
Define waveform-processing chains including synchronization, pulse shaping, equalization, and related signal-processing functions.
Partition and implement modem signal-processing functions across FPGA logic and embedded or host-based compute.
Collaborate with RF, FPGA, and systems engineers to integrate modem algorithms into the communications platform.
Develop and run communication-system tests to characterize modem performance under realistic channel impairments.

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of relevant experience.
Experience developing modems or waveform-processing chains for SDR, wireless communications, radar, or similar RF systems.
Strong understanding of CCSDS waveforms, BPSK, QPSK, OQPSK, DVB-S2, carrier synchronization, pulse shaping, equalization, and Doppler effects.
Ability to take waveform algorithms from analysis and prototyping through working implementation rather than stopping at simulation.
Working understanding of complete signal chains and the interaction between modem design decisions and RF or hardware constraints.
Experience with communication-system testing and performance characterization.
Preferred: FPGA bit-equivalence verification, GNU Radio, real-time signal processing, C++ or Rust, beamforming, radar, or electronic warfare systems.
Applicants must meet applicable U.S. Government space-technology export-control eligibility requirements.

Equal opportunity employer with reasonable accommodation available for applications and interviews.
Employment is subject to U.S. Government space-technology export regulations, including ITAR eligibility requirements.
