Job description

We are looking for a technology leader to oversee our signal processing design and integration project teams and communicate the value of our skills and processes both internally and externally. We desire thought leaders and technology champions with a range of technical expertise who can debate high level project decisions based on merit and be ready to take on the challenges our clients throw at us.

What we can offer

As part of the Signal Processing Group, you will get to work with a range of clients across wireless, telecoms, audio, and semiconductor – from blue chips to start-ups. Some looking to optimise their existing technologies, and some with a vision for a new or bespoke solution. For some projects we will develop a subsystem for wider integration, other times we are the design authority for the entire system and its delivery.

This is an opportunity to join a creative and collaborative team with a friendly and supportive culture and a passion for solving technical challenges.

No week working with us is the same. Examples of the variety of work you will undertake include:

• Architecting and implementing software for high performance hardware, from design through to verification and optimisation
• Contributing to the system design of products that span multiple domains
• Contributing to IP development to expand and promote group capabilities
• Providing leadership to engineering teams, nurturing and enabling others to develop their own knowledge and expertise to scale our technical capabilities across the company

Examples of projects we have worked on in the past are:

• Ultra-reliable communications for satellites
• IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection using custom in-house DSP cores
• Map based indoor navigation using sensor fusion
• Next generation commercial radio receiver design
• Development of the communication system for a fleet of moving bots in a challenging indoor environment

What you can bring

As a technology leader you will have the opportunity to encourage strategic growth into new areas, and drive innovation forward. As part of this we need someone who has the vision to architect complex multi-disciplinary projects, partner with clients to deliver the right solution according to their needs, and encourage collaboration across the teams and disciplines within the company to meet project timescales.

You will be expected to make contributions to existing sales campaigns in the Wireless and Digital Services Division (including Telecoms and Mobile, Semiconductor, and Aerospace), and to assist in the preparation of project proposals and statements of work in collaboration with our experienced team of Project Managers.

Aspiring candidates will have some of the following:

• Significant practical experience of wireless systems engineering and signal processing understanding
• Ability to define and deliver complex, high-value, innovative projects
• A strong desire to learn, investigate, and develop new technologies
• Technical aptitude, intuition, and skills in communicating both technical and non-technical concepts
• Proven ability to influence at senior management level and to match business needs with technology solutions
• Ability to co-ordinate and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams

• 25 days annual leave plus public holidays, with flexibility to carry over / borrow
• Comprehensive insurance - Life, disability, private healthcare and travel insurance (business & leisure)
