Job summary

Austin Sensing Company designs and manufactures radar, acoustic, and RF sensors for defense, public safety, and infrastructure in Austin, Texas. We seek a Digital Signal Processing Engineer to develop algorithms for extracting information from sensor data and to implement them for real-time operation on our hardware.

You will collaborate with RF, acoustic, FPGA, embedded systems, and software engineers to improve detection, estimation, and classification performance, balancing algorithm goals

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience developing and implementing digital signal processing algorithms.
• Strong understanding of sampling theory, digital filtering, Fourier analysis, probability, and statistical estimation.
• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB for simulation and data analysis.
• Experience implementing performance-sensitive signal processing code in C or C++.
• Experience evaluating algorithms against measured data and diagnosing differences between simulation and real-world performance.

Responsibilities

• Develop algorithms for filtering, spectral analysis, detection, parameter estimation, and signal classification.
• Design processing pipelines for radar, acoustic, and RF data, accounting for sensor characteristics and operating conditions.
• Build simulations and analysis tools to evaluate algorithms under noise, interference, and other sources of distortion.
• Analyze recorded sensor data to identify performance limitations and guide improvements.
• Implement and optimize algorithms for real-time operation within compute, memory, power, and latency constraints.
• Work with FPGA and embedded systems engineers to move algorithms onto production hardware.
• Evaluate sampling rates, numerical precision, fixed-point representations, and their effects on performance.
• Develop calibration and compensation methods for hardware variations and measurement errors.
• Define measurable performance criteria and build repeatable tests to compare algorithm revisions.
• Work with field test engineers to plan data collection and validate performance outside the lab.
• Document algorithm assumptions, implementation details, and results so the team can maintain and extend your work.
