Description

Description Vadum, Inc. is seeking a highly motivated DSP Engineer with a strong background in FPGA development and digital signal processing (DSP), as well as experience with analog, digital, and RF systems. In this role, you will play a key part in the architecture, design, and development of complex RF sensors, radar systems, measurement equipment, and electromechanical products. The ideal candidate is a collaborative problem solver with strong technical expertise, creativity, and initiative. This position requires exceptional analytical and organizational skills, along with the ability to communicate effectively and build productive relationships with internal teams, customers, and external partners. Essential Job Duties and Responsibilities Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these essential functions. • Use multiple programming languages (MATLAB, Python, C/C++, etc.) to prototype and implement various DSP algorithms. • Independently develop signal processing chains starting with selection of ADC and/or DAC and ending with desired information products save to or read from disk. • Assist with part selection related to front-end noise figure, ADC/DAC dynamic range, bit-depth, sampling rate, and downstream processor/memory resource utilization. • Participate in all phases of development life cycle (requirements, block diagrams, integration, evaluation, and test activities). • Work in a matrixed team environment to define, lead, and design end-to-end solutions for advanced R&D projects. • Assist in generating technical proposals and estimates in support of applied research. • Coordinate aspects of the project to meet technical, schedule, and cost goals. • Interact with customers, development partners, and vendors. Requirements MS, 10+ yrs related experience. Government security clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain clearance. Superior technical knowledge in a relevant engineering discipline. Track record for putting systems/products into fielded use. Academic background in digital communication, signal processing, information theory, probability/statistics, estimation/detection, pattern recognition, optimization, image processing, and machine vision. Experience with machine learning/artificial intelligence a plus. Familiarity with software defined radio (SDR), modulation schemes, complex baseband, and radar fundamentals. Ability to implement digital filters, perform time/frequency analysis, denoising, signal detection, channelization, beamforming, and interpolation/decimation from audio to RF. Ability to perform bench-level bring-up and troubleshooting of data acquisition/signal processing chains using analog and RF test equipment. Implementation knowledge and/or experience using FPGAs a plus. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, strong initiative, attention-to-detail, highly organized, and personal commitment to quality. Ability to work well on multiple projects simultaneously. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to articulate and explain DSP algorithm design methodology and system design decisions for both internal design documents and external reports or proposals. Vadum, Inc. is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Vadum is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for qualified individuals with disabilities and disabled veterans. If you need assistance or accommodation due to a disability, you may contact the HR Manager at (919) 341-8241 ext.: 180.

Responsibilities

Design and develop complex RF sensors, radar systems, and signal processing chains from prototyping to implementation. Collaborate in a matrixed team to lead R&D projects and generate technical proposals for customers and partners.
