DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)

Overview

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).

Responsibilities

• 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.

Technical Skills

• Verilog / SystemVerilog
• Yosys / Xilinx Vivado
• Python
• C/C++
• Gnuradio

Existing Applications

• 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.

Qualifications

• 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.

Benefits

• Work remotely a percentage of the time as 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.
