About the Company

Our client is a globally recognised leader in the development of advanced communications technology, operating as part of a multinational group with revenues in the billions. Their solutions power next-generation connectivity across a range of sectors, including satellite, wireless, and secure communications.

With a strong pipeline of innovation-driven projects, they are expanding their engineering team and are seeking a DSP Engineer to support and lead the development of digital signal processing technologies.

Role Overview

As a DSP Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the design, implementation, and optimization of real-time signal processing algorithms for cutting-edge communication systems. You'll collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance, scalable DSP solutions used in mission-critical environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop DSP algorithms for modulation, demodulation, filtering, error correction, synchronization, and other signal processing tasks
• Implement algorithms in simulation environments (e.g., MATLAB, Python) and on embedded platforms (e.g., C/C++ on DSPs, FPGAs, or SoCs)
• Analyze system-level performance, including link budgets and bit error rate (BER) performance
• Collaborate with FPGA, software, and systems engineers to ensure successful hardware-software integration
• Optimize DSP code for computational efficiency, memory usage, and real-time performance
• Participate in design reviews, verification activities, and lab-based testing of communication systems

Required Skills and Experience:

• Strong experience in digital signal processing for communication systems
• Proficiency in implementing algorithms using C/C++ for embedded systems
• Solid understanding of key DSP concepts, such as FFTs, FIR/IIR filters, adaptive filtering, modulation techniques, and channel coding
• Ability to interpret and influence system-level architecture and design decisions

Desirable Qualifications

• Experience with FPGA/ASIC development or hardware/software co-design
• Background in wireless, satellite, or secure communications
• Familiarity with tools such as GNU Radio, Xilinx Vivado, or Texas Instruments DSP SDKs

What’s on Offer

• Work on high-impact projects within a global leader in communications technology
• Access to world-class technology, labs, and cross-disciplinary engineering teams
• A collaborative culture with strong technical mentorship and clear career progression paths
• Competitive compensation, performance-based incentives, and a comprehensive benefits package

Benefits Include

• Hybrid working model
• 25 days annual leave
• 8% employer pension contribution
• Private medical insurance
• Life assurance (4x salary)
• Continuous training and professional development
• Employee reward and recognition scheme
• Employee assistance programme
• BUPA wellbeing services
