Senior RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer Los Angeles, CA Engineering
Company: K2 Space
Location: Los Angeles
Posted on: January 24, 2025
Job Description:
The RoleYou will be responsible for leading the design,
development, and integration of digital signal processing (DSP)
algorithms for communication systems and beyond to be hosted on
some of the biggest, most powerful, rapidly designed and rapidly
manufactured satellites ever deployed in space. In your first 6
months you will architect, develop, own, test, and integrate new
DSP algorithms and software defined radio (SDR) systems for
satellite communications and beyond. You will work with a team of
fellow RF, FPGA, software, mechanical, and electrical engineers in
order to prototype your systems and refine your designs. In your
first two years you will have flown your system in
space.Responsibilities
- Lead the design, development, and implementation of DSP
algorithms for embedded devices and SDRs
- Collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team of software
and hardware engineers to develop software defined radio
systems
- Act as technical leader and subject-matter expert helping to
teach, grow, and mentor others in the teamQualifications
- Bachelor's degree in computer science, computer engineering,
electrical engineering or related science, technology, engineering,
or mathematics field
- 5+ years of experience in RF digital communications and DSP
systems
- Strong knowledge of DSP concepts such as: modems, channelizers,
Doppler compensation, resampling signal processing, adaptive
filtering, and floating vs fixed point implementations
- Strong knowledge of digital communications theory and systems
including: spread spectrum, forward error correction, channel
estimation, channel equalization, channel coding, and modulation
types such as FSK, BPSK, QPSK, QAM, and PCM/FM
- Strong experience with signal detection topologies including:
burst detection, digital up and downconversion, IF signal
processing, phase lock loops, costas loops, non-coherent detection,
spreading and despreading algorithms
- Strong experience in developing filter topologies including FIR
filters, IIR filters, and trading between both implementations
- Strong experience implementing transmitting and receiving
topologies in GNUradio in simulation-only environments as well as
coupled with GNUradio-compatible SDRs
- Strong experience with Python, MATLAB, and/or C/C++
- Ability to work in a fast-paced and high velocity start-up
atmosphereNice to Have
- Experience with FPGA design, implementation, verification, and
validation for RF applications
- Experience with phased array synthesis, digital beamforming,
adaptive beamforming and nulling algorithms
- Experience with signal intelligence (SIGINT), electronic
warfare (EW), and satellite telecommunications
- Experience with channel emulators, and writing system-level
simulations that go beyond the DSP layer
- Experience with software defined radio hardware development
including data converters (digital to analog and analog to digital
converters), clock trees, and data converter interfaces
- Experience with coupled hardware and DSP algorithm design,
specifically with respect to compensation and continuous monitoring
of analog-front end characteristicsCompensation and Benefits:
- Base salary range for this role is $140,000 - $200,000 + equity
in the company
- Salary will be based on several factors including, but not
limited to: knowledge and skills, education, and experience
level
- Comprehensive benefits package including unlimited paid time
off, medical/dental/vision coverage, life insurance, paid parental
leave, and many other perksIf you don't meet 100% of the preferred
skills and experience, we encourage you to still apply! Building a
spacecraft unlike any other requires a team unlike any other and
non-traditional career twists and turns are encouraged!
