beyond their intended use. Collaborate with subject matter experts
to design and validate software models for signal processing
applications. Implement software modules necessary to support
signal processing workflows. Analyze outputs from models and
modules to support downstream processing and follow-on development.
Required Skills and Qualifications: Expert knowledge of digital
signal processing algorithms and techniques. Strong experience
developing DSP solutions in MATLAB or equivalent signal processing
design environments. Experience implementing signal processing
algorithms in both software and FPGA hardware environments. Ability
to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to engineers and
non-engineers. Proven ability to work independently and serve as a
technical lead on advanced signal processing efforts. Education and
