DSP Engineer Software Defined Radio and Signal Processing

Denver, CO 

$140,000–$175,000 + Top Benefits, Stock & 25% 401(k) Match

The Opportunity

You will perform cutting-edge research and development on real-time Software Defined Radio (SDR) and protocol processing systems within the Intelligence and Defense communities. Your work directly supports the collection, processing, and exploitation of RF signals across a wide range of wireless protocols. This role calls for an autonomous engineer who can move from modeling and proof-of-concept through prototype development to delivering operational systems.

Why You'll Love This Role

• Compensation: $140K–$175K base salary with stock
• Retirement: 25% 401(k) contribution
• Benefits: Top-tier benefits package included

Your Day-to-Day

• Design and develop engineering solutions to collect, process, and exploit RF signals using C/C++ and Python
• Perform digital signal processing research including detection, estimation, and demodulation of communications signals
• Build modeling techniques and proofs-of-concept, then evolve prototypes into fully operational systems
• Work across real-time SDR and protocol processing platforms supporting defense and intelligence missions
• Manage code and collaborate through version control tools such as Git
• Communicate findings and system designs clearly through written documentation and verbal briefings

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Active TS/SCI clearance
• Experience developing solutions to collect, process, and exploit RF signals
• Strong knowledge of digital communications — detection, estimation, and demodulation
• Proven ability to develop models, prototypes, and operational systems end-to-end
• Proficiency in C/C++ and Python
• Systems development experience within the Intelligence and Defense communities
• Familiarity with Git or equivalent code management tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related field (equivalent experience accepted)

Preferred:

• Knowledge of Software Defined Radio (SDR) frameworks
• XMIDAS familiarity
• Geolocation theory and techniques
• Experience working in complex RF environments
• Knowledge of wireless air interface protocols
• Experience with multi-threaded signal processing algorithms in Python/C++ on Linux
• Comfortable working in distributed team environments
