About the role

As a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Engineer, you’ll play a key role in developing sophisticated signal processing solutions for next-generation electronic warfare, communications, and sensing systems. This is an opportunity to work alongside talented engineers on technically challenging problems where your expertise in DSP algorithms, communications theory, software-defined radios, and C/C++ directly contributes to advanced defense capabilities. Whether you’re looking to deepen your technical expertise or grow into engineering leadership, this role offers a path to make a meaningful impact from concept through development, integration, and validation.

Primary Responsibilities Include: Architect and implement complex digital signal processing systems for communication and sensing platforms. Develop and implement sophisticated DSP algorithms and translate system concepts into robust, high-performance solutions. Prepare complete project design documentation, including requirements, specifications, test plans, and reports. Design and conduct experiments; analyze and interpret data to validate system and component performance. Plan and coordinate detailed aspects of engineering work to ensure technical quality and schedule adherence. Prepare scopes of work, budgets, and schedules for assigned projects. Assist in the preparation of proposals to obtain funding for engineering projects and programs. Collaborate closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams across software, hardware, systems, and integration functions. Contribute innovative ideas and technical solutions that advance products, capabilities, and mission performance.

Required Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree and 8+ years of relevant DSP and/or communications engineering; or Master’s Degree and 6+ years’ experience; or a PhD with 3+ years’ experience.
Demonstrated proficiency in advanced digital signal processing algorithms.

Demonstrated experience with several systems and technologies outlined in Technical Competencies.
Serve as a subject matter expert in at least one technical area.
Maintain working knowledge in a number of other specialization areas.

Technical Competencies:

Software-defined radios (SDR)
Digital signal processing theory
Signal processing algorithm design and implementationC/C++ programmingDSP validation
Software/hardware implementation, collaboration, and integration
System requirements analysis and traceability
Rate conversion, correlation, and filtering
Revision control tools (e.g., TFS, Git)

Compensation: $110K to $170K.Exact compensation may vary based on several factors, including skills, experience, and education. Benefit packages for this role will start on the 31st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.

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.
