Digital Signal Processing Engineer (DSP Engineer)

Job Description

A leading player in the aerospace sector is currently seeking a DSP Engineer to join its R&D team.

The ideal candidate has solid experience designing, implementing, and validating advanced digital signal processing algorithms, from simulation to FPGA‑based implementation, and is eager to contribute to the development of next‑generation space technologies.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including telecom, electronics, and software engineers.
• Analyze system requirements and translate them into subsystem‑level specifications and architecture.
• Design and optimize DSP algorithms in MATLAB for FPGA implementation.
• Develop and optimize C/C++ DSP algorithms for embedded systems.
• Port DSP solutions onto FPGA devices using VHDL/VERILOG.
• Validate DSP implementations and assess their performance in lab environments and on high‑TRL products.
• Define and execute testing activities, including test plan/procedure preparation and test equipment setup.
• Manage and maintain technical documentation (Design Descriptions, Interface Control Documents, Verification Control Documents, Test Plans, etc.).
• Familiarity with version control tools (Git, Bitbucket, etc.).

Preferred Skills (a plus)

• Understanding of FPGA design flows and HLS tools.
• Exposure to SDR platforms (USRP, GNU Radio, etc.).
• Knowledge of physical layer processing techniques (FFT, filtering, modulation, etc.).
• Bachelor’s degree preferably in Telecommunications Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or other STEM disciplines, with 1–2 years of relevant experience.
• English proficiency at B2 level.

Benefits

• Permanent contract under the CCNL Metalmeccanica.
• Health insurance coverage.
• Company canteen.
• Two remote working days per week.
