Principal Engineer - Digital Signal Processing

About the role

The Digital Signal Processing (DSP) group in North America develops innovative new technology to enable world-leading wireless communications capabilities. We are looking for talented, experienced DSP engineers with an interest in designing and implementing systems using advanced signal processing algorithms to create new capabilities in the areas of wireless communications, sensors, audio processing, and image processing systems.

In this role you will design and develop prototype systems that demonstrate novel capabilities for a diverse range of products. Cambridge Consultants has produced innovations such as ultra-reliable communications for satellites, IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection using custom in-house DSP cores, map-based indoor navigation using sensor fusion, next generation commercial radio receiver design, and communications system for a fleet of bots in a challenging indoor environment.

You'll engage with clients that are stretching the art of the possible by combining state-of-the-art signal processing theory with a practical approach to implementation on a wide variety of processing platforms.

Responsibilities

As a member of this new team, you will be involved in every stage of our technology development life cycle, from developing proof-of-concept demonstrations for initial sales leads to designing, implementing, and testing innovative new products. In addition to day-to-day project work you'll also play a part in creating the Capgemini of tomorrow: contributing to new IP generation, influencing the direction or our DSP skillset development, and evolving our capabilities in groundbreaking new technologies.

Requirements

• A passion for signal processing with a desire to broaden your horizons in new and exciting areas
• MS/BS with 7+ years of experience in a field related to digital signal processing (e.g., computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, etc.)
• Good knowledge of signal processing theory and applications for communications systems
• Experience with scripting and analysis tools such as MATLAB or Python
• C, C++, or Rust programming and software engineering skills
• Good testing habits: unit testing, system testing, regression testing, etc.
• Verbal and written communication skills to convey your designs and ideas

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in embedded real-time programming
• Experience with RF or Audio test equipment
• Experience in image, audio, and/or machine learning algorithm development and implementation
• 3+ Years experience in FPGA design, verification, synthesis, and RTL coding/simulation
• Exposure to relevant industry communications standards (3GPP, IEEE, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.)

Skills

This role requires a strong foundation in digital signal processing, as well as excellent programming and communication skills. U.S. citizenship is required for this role, as it may involve work on US Government projects.
