Senior Algorithm Engineer - Capacitive Touch DSP Leader

Octagon Group; Fareham; Sur place; GBP 60 000 - 85 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Octagon Group is seeking a Senior Algorithm Engineer in Fareham, Hampshire to own algorithm development for capacitive touch controllers. You will work across sensor physics, mixed-signal electronics and DSP, addressing real-world noise, interference and calibration challenges.

You will lead from problem definition through to hardware validation, modelling, testing and optimisation on real hardware, collaborating with cross-functional teams and mentoring junior engineers.

Qualifications

• Degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Signal Processing or related field.
• Strong experience designing and analysing signal-processing algorithms.
• Good understanding of sampling, filtering, noise and time/frequency-domain analysis.
• Practical knowledge of sensors, analogue/mixed-signal systems and ADCs.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for modelling and data analysis.
• Experience validating models against experimental data and real hardware.

Responsabilités

• Own algorithm development projects from concept through hardware validation.
• Design and optimise filtering, calibration and noise-rejection algorithms.
• Develop models of capacitive sensors, analogue front ends (AFE), ADCs and digital signal chains.
• Plan and lead measurements using sensor prototypes and IC evaluation platforms.
• Investigate differences between simulation models and real hardware performance.
• Evaluate fixed-point behaviour, numerical precision, memory, processing and latency constraints.
• Collaborate with system architects, IC design, firmware and validation teams.
• Document findings and present technical recommendations; mentor junior colleagues.
