Role Description

The newly-formed Digital Signal Processing (DSP) group in North America develops innovative new technology to enable world-leading wireless communications capabilities for US Government applications. We are looking for talented, experienced DSP engineers with an interest in designing and implementing systems using advanced signal processing algorithms to create new capabilities in the areas of wireless communications, sensors, audio processing, and image processing systems.

In this role you will design and develop prototype systems that demonstrate novel capabilities for a diverse range of products. Whereas Cambridge Consultants has produced innovations linked below for commercial entities, our team has been spun out in order to provide this sort of advanced capability for US Government clients.

• Ultra-reliable communications for satellites
• IP block acceleration of Voice Activity Detection using custom in-house DSP cores 
• Map-based indoor navigation using sensor fusion
• Next generation commercial radio receiver design
• Communications system for a fleet of bots in a challenging indoor environment

You’ll engage with clients that are stretching the art of the possible by combining state-of-the-art signal processing theory with a practical approach to implementation on a wide variety of processing platforms.

What we offer

You’ll have the opportunity to steer your career along the path of your choice, whether you prefer meeting and talking with clients or leading teams on innovative projects.
