• Work on radar waveform generation, detection algorithms, target tracking, and signal processing in real‑time.
• Develop simulation models to test DSP algorithms and system performance before deployment.
• Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to DSP systems.
• Ensure DSP algorithms meet system requirements and performance standards.
• Stay current with advancements in DSP, RF sensing, radar technology, and communications systems.
• Document design specifications, test results, and development processes.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of relevant professional experience.
• Proven experience in DSP algorithm design and implementation, especially in radar and communications systems.
• Strong proficiency in signal processing techniques, including filtering, modulation, demodulation, FFT, and time‑frequency analysis.
• Experience with radar signal processing, target detection, and tracking algorithms.
• Familiarity with communication system design, including OFDM, MIMO, and spread spectrum techniques.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, MATLAB, or similar.
• Experience with simulation and modeling tools (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, GNU Radio).
• Understanding of hardware/software integration and real-time DSP implementation.
• Strong analytical skills and problem‑solving ability.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
