About the Company
Our client is a globally recognised leader in the development of advanced communications technology, operating as part of a multinational group with revenues in the billions. Their solutions power next-generation connectivity across a range of sectors, including satellite, wireless, and secure communications.
With a strong pipeline of innovation-driven projects, they are expanding their engineering team and are seeking a DSP Engineer to support and lead the development of digital signal processing technologies.
Role Overview
As a DSP Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the design, implementation, and optimization of real-time signal processing algorithms for cutting-edge communication systems. Youll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, scalable DSP solutions used in mission-critical environments.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop DSP algorithms for modulation, demodulation, filtering, error correction, synchronization, and other signal processing tasks
* Implement algorithms in simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB, Python) and on embedded platforms (e.g., C/C++ on DSPs, FPGAs, or SoCs)
* Analyze system-level performance, including link budgets and bit error rate (BER) performance
* Collaborate with FPGA, software, and systems engineers to ensure successful hardware-software integration
* Optimize DSP code for computational efficiency, memory usage, and real-time performance
* Participate in design reviews, verification activities, and lab-based testing of communication systems
Required Skills and Experience:
* Strong experience in digital signal processing for communication systems
* Proficiency in implementing algorithms using C/C++ for embedded systems
* Solid understanding of key DSP concepts, such as FFTs, FIR/IIR filters, adaptive filtering, modulation techniques, and channel coding
* Ability to interpret and influence system-level architecture and design decisions
Desirable Qualifications
* Experience with FPGA/ASIC development or hardware/software co-design
* Background in wireless, satellite, or secure communications
* Familiarity with tools such as GNU Radio, Xilinx Vivado, or Texas Instruments DSP SDKs
What’s on Offer
* Work on high-impact projects within a global leader in communications technology
* Access to world-class technology, labs, and cross-disciplinary engineering teams
* A collaborative culture with strong technical mentorship and clear career progression paths
* Competitive compensation, performance-based incentives, and a comprehensive benefits package
Benefits Include
* Hybrid working model
* 25 days annual leave
* 8% employer pension contribution
* Private medical insurance
* Life assurance (4x salary)
* Continuous training and professional development
* Employee reward and recognition scheme
* Employee assistance programme
* BUPA wellbeing services
