Why Join Rincon Research Corporation (RRC)?

At Rincon Research Corporation, our primary business is innovating, developing, and fielding digital signal processing (DSP) products and services for the United States Defense and Intelligence Communities in support of national security.

Rincon Research Corporation seeks a DSP/Communications Engineer to create cutting edge solutions to challenging national security and defense signal processing, geolocation, and communication problems. You will work in a multi-disciplinary R&D environment with similarly skilled and motivated electrical engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists/engineers in a highly rewarding personal and professional environment.

Come join the team that is creating cutting edge signal processing and geolocation systems for the future!

What are the primary responsibilities for the DSP/Communications Engineer position?

Core responsibilities include designing and implementing digital signal processing systems for communication signals, radar signals, and other applications. This includes developing, deploying, maintaining, and testing software-based solutions. System development can include algorithm design, data analysis, hardware control, computational optimization, RF system modeling, field testing, error budget analysis, operational performance analysis, writing efficient software, testing with real data, and providing applications to front-line customer facilities. A key responsibility is staying up-to-date with the signal processing technologies, tools, and methodologies and experimenting with new technologies to incorporate innovative solutions into RRC projects. RRC personnel can expect to work across all functional areas: systems engineering, development, integration and test, deployment and O&M, and experience the direct mission feedback from the customer and seeing your project provide real-world contributions that make a significant difference. You're encouraged and expected to propose things that you believe will improve the applications and frameworks you're working in. The ability to work unsupervised with minimal direction and the ability to self-start is a must

What required background will make you successful?

• Active TS/SCI security clearance
• Degree (Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or another equivalent field
• Strong background in DSP, including knowledge of DSP theory as well as practical system development experience
• Proficient in C++ and/or Python in LINUX environments

Preferred Skills:

• At least 3 years' experience in a signal processing engineering-related discipline
• Cellular communications, satellite communications, modern modulation schemes, cyclostationary techniques
• Geolocation, radar signal processing, RF propagation and link budgets, RF system design
• DevOps and Cloud computing Experience (Gitlab, CI/CD, CVE mitigations, Docker, Kubernetes, PІР)
