Job Title: Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer
Location: Fareham, Hampshire
Salary: £75,000 to £90,000 basic + 15% bonus + benefits
Cutting-Edge R&D | Advanced DSP Design | Human–Machine Interface Technology
Are you a hands-on engineer with deep expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and high-level system modelling? Do you want to work on next-generation Human–Machine Interface (HMI) technology that will shape the future of user interaction?
If you thrive at the intersection of modelling, system analysis, and real-world hardware experimentation, this role is made for you.
Our client is a global technology leader developing state-of-the-art mixed-signal and HMI systems. They are now seeking an experienced Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer to join their advanced R&D team in Hampshire.
Why this role is different - Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer
This position isn’t just about using DSP, it’s about truly understanding it. You’ll be developing, analysing, and validating systems that rely on DSP design principles, signal acquisition, mixed-signal modelling, and algorithm development. Your work will directly influence next-generation touch and sensing technologies.
Key Responsibilities: Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer
As a Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer, you will:
Lead modelling, simulation, and analysis of complex mixed-signal front-end systems
Capture and process real-time sensor data using both analogue and digital signal processing
Support the implementation, integration, and validation of innovative algorithms
Develop new touch detection schemes and evolve existing DSP algorithms
Collaborate closely with IC design, firmware, system architecture, and validation teams to ensure seamless modelling-to-hardware correlation
Define research objectives and problem statements with internal stakeholders
Take full ownership of experiments from concept and simulation to hardware validation What You’ll Bring to the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role.
To excel in this role, you must have:
Essential Skills & Experience
Deep, hands-on knowledge of DSP design, modelling, and algorithm development
(Not just DSP usage, an ability to understand how and why it works)
Proven experience in high-level modelling and simulation of complex systems
Strong understanding of mixed-signal systems, ASIC design concepts, and analysis tools
Proficiency with MATLAB, Simulink and/or Python (two or more required)
Experience using version control systems like Git or Subversion
Knowledge of Agile development workflows
Proactive, curious mindset with strong collaboration skills
Willingness to travel for research and project collaboration Education
MSc or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Signal Processing, or a closely related field
BEng or MEng (Upper Second Class or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline
5+ years post-graduate engineering experience Desirable skills/experience for the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role
SPICE, HDL, Verilog, FPGA knowledge
Experience with physics-based modelling tools (e.g., Ansys, HFSS)
Background in HMI, sensing, or display technologies Why Apply?
Work on cutting-edge HMI and sensing technology
Be part of an R&D team pushing innovation in mixed-signal and DSP systems
Solve complex real-world engineering problems
Excellent long-term career growth within a global tech organisation If you are passionate about DSP at a fundamental level and want to drive real innovation in advanced sensing technology, we’d love to hear from you.
