DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)

Join our team and build the future of space technology

We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a DSP Engineer; with passion in what you do, talented and experienced. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of software, FPGA, and digital signal processing engineers and will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGAs).

What you will be doing?

Design digital communication systems using platforms including software defined radios (SDRs) and FPGAs.

Functional modeling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high-level languages (C/C++).

Support the evolution of our custom space-tailored radio platforms.

Main languages/technologies used:

Verilog/SystemVerilog.

Yosys/Xilinx Vivado.

Python.

C/C++.

GNURadio.

Examples of existing applications already developed by Alén Space:

DVB-S2 transmitter in Verilog.

ADS-B receiver in Verilog.

AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channelizer) and CPU (GNURadio/C++).

Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C.

What do we need in our team

Bachelor or Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering.

More than 3 years of experience in developing signal processing algorithms for communication systems in Python, C/C++ or Matlab using both floating point and fixed-point design techniques.

Experience in migrating modeled algorithms to implementations in FPGAs or SDR frameworks.

Understanding of RF concepts such as AGC, noise figure, power amplifiers, phase noise, PLL, oscillators/mixers.

Valuable knowledge:

Expertise with Software-Defined Radios (SDR) frameworks such as GNU Radio.

Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ series FPGAs, Analog Devices AD9361, and other common RF chipsets.

Some experience with Python or other scripting languages.

Knowledge of coding theory and techniques: LDPC, Turbo codes…

Candidate qualifications and skills

Work remotely a percentage of the time to be defined with the manager

Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.

Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation .

Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and free lunch every friday and much more!

Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support

Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment
