Ingeniero/a de DSP (Procesado Digital de Señal)

DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)

Join our team and build the future of space technology

We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a DSP Engineer; with passion in what you do, talented and experienced. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of software, FPGA, and digital signal processing engineers and will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGAs).

What you will be doing?

• Design digital communication systems using platforms including software defined radios (SDRs) and FPGAs.
  
  
• Functional modeling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high-level languages (C/C++).
  
  
• Support the evolution of our custom space-tailored radio platforms.
  
  
• Main languages/technologies used:
  
  Verilog/SystemVerilog.
  
  Yosys/Xilinx Vivado.
  
  Python.
  
  C/C++.
  
  GNURadio.
  
  
• Examples of existing applications already developed by Alén Space:
  
  DVB-S2 transmitter in Verilog.
  
  ADS-B receiver in Verilog.
  
  AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channelizer) and CPU (GNURadio/C++).
  
  Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C.
  
  

What do we need in our team

• Bachelor or Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
• More than 3 years of experience in developing signal processing algorithms for communication systems in Python, C/C++ or Matlab using both floating point and fixed-point design techniques.
• Experience in migrating modeled algorithms to implementations in FPGAs or SDR frameworks.
  
  
• Understanding of RF concepts such as AGC, noise figure, power amplifiers, phase noise, PLL, oscillators/mixers.
  
  

Valuable knowledge:

• Expertise with Software-Defined Radios (SDR) frameworks such as GNU Radio.
  
  
• Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ series FPGAs, Analog Devices AD9361, and other common RF chipsets.
  
  
• Some experience with Python or other scripting languages.
  
  
• Knowledge of coding theory and techniques: LDPC, Turbo codes…

Candidate qualifications and skills

• Work remotely a percentage of the time to be defined with the manager
• Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.
• Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation .
• Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and free lunch every friday and much more!
• Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support
• Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment
