About the role

Applied Research Laboratory at Penn State University seeks analytical engineers specializing in signal processing and communications to advance DoD-relevant projects. The role emphasizes design, integration, and testing of advanced signal processing systems, with on-site/hybrid options and travel to sponsor locations. Candidates should have strong expertise in Kalman/Wiener methods, adaptive processing, and software implementation in C/C++, MATLAB, or Python, plus experience with IQ data and RF

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
