Job Description

About the Company:

Our client is a globally recognised leader in the development of advanced communications technology, operating as part of a multi-national 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 growing their engineering team and seeking a DSP Engineer to support and lead digital signal processing developments.

Role Overview:

As a DSP Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, implementation, and optimization of real-time signal processing algorithms for cutting-edge communication systems. You will work 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 (e.g., MATLAB, Python) and in embedded environments (e.g., C/C++ on DSPs, FPGAs, or SoCs)

  • Analyze system-level performance, including link budgets and BER performance

  • Collaborate with FPGA, software, and systems engineers to support hardware-software integration

  • Optimize DSP code for computational efficiency, memory usage, and real-time constraints

  • Participate in design reviews, verification activities, and lab-based testing of communications systems

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Strong experience in digital signal processing for communications systems

  • Hands-on experience with implementation in C/C++ for embedded systems or fixed-point processors

  • Solid understanding of key DSP concepts: FFTs, FIR/IIR filters, adaptive filtering, modulation techniques, channel coding, etc.

  • Exposure to real-time operating systems (RTOS) or bare-metal development environments

  • Ability to interpret and influence system-level design decisions

Desirable Qualifications:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline (advanced degrees preferred)

  • 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

Whats on Offer:

  • Work on high-impact projects within a global communications leader

  • Access to world-class technology, labs, and cross-disciplinary teams

  • A collaborative culture with strong technical mentorship and career growth opportunities

  • Competitive compensation, with performance incentives and a comprehensive benefits package


Benefits include hybrid/remote working, 25 days annual leave, 8% pension scheme, private medical insurance, life assurance 4x salary, continuous training and development, employee reward and recognition scheme, employee assistance programme and BUPA wellbeing services.
