Senior Dsp Engineer

**Senior DSP Engineer**

We offer the opportunity to join a challenging space project together with a self-motivated team with great experience in the design and manufacturing of small satellites

You will work as part of a team of engineers to develop radio-embedded solutions for space communications systems and will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGAs).

Tasks assigned:

- Design digital communication systems using platforms including software-defined radios (SDRs) and FPGAs.
- Functional modelling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high-level languages (C/C++).
- Support the evolution of our custom space-tailored radio platforms.

Main languages/technologies used:

- Verilog/SystemVerilog
- Yosys/Xilinx Vivado
- Python
- C/C++
- GNURadio
- DVB-S2 transmitter in Verilog
- ADS-B receiver in Verilog
- AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channelizer) and CPU (GNURadio/C++)
- Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C

The required experience and skills are:

- Expertise in developing signal processing algorithms for communication systems in Python, C/C++ or Matlab using both floating point and fixed-point design techniques.
- Experience in migrating modeled algorithms to implementations in FPGAs or SDR frameworks.
- Understanding of RF concepts such as AGC, noise figure, power amplifiers, phase noise, PLL, oscillators/mixers.

It will be also desirable the following qualifications and skills:

- Expertise with Software-Defined Radios (SDR) frameworks such as GNU Radio.
- Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ series FPGAs, Analog Devices AD9361, and other common RF chipsets.
- Some experience with Python or other scripting languages is desirable.
- Knowledge of coding theory and techniques: LDPC, Turbo codes
- Good English language skills (level B1 or higher).

The applicant must have good communication skills and must be able to work autonomously in an effective manner, while cooperating in a potentially international and culturally diverse team.

Moreover, the applicant must have good analytical, organizational, and reporting skills; together with a proactive attitude to solve problems individually and an interest in technology development.
