- Integrate SDR platforms with embedded processing systems and custom electronics.
- Develop and evaluate signal generation, acquisition, and processing techniques.
- Conduct laboratory and field testing of RF systems.
- Characterize system performance including sensitivity, dynamic range, selectivity, noise figure, and spectral purity.
- Support antenna selection, integration, and performance evaluation activities.
- Collaborate with embedded software engineers on real-time radio control and signal processing applications.
- Collaborate with FPGA and digital design teams on high-speed data acquisition and processing systems.
- Contribute to technical reports, customer demonstrations, and proposal activities.
Essential Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
- Strong understanding of RF engineering fundamentals.
- Experience with software-defined radio platforms.
- Knowledge of RF test equipment including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power meters.
- Experience with RF system integration and troubleshooting.
- Familiarity with communications theory and digital modulation techniques.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with SDR platforms such as Ettus USRP, LimeSDR, BladeRF, PlutoSDR, HackRF, or similar systems.
- Experience with GNU Radio, MATLAB, Simulink, or equivalent signal processing environments.
- Knowledge of digital signal processing techniques.
- Experience with RF front-end design, filtering, amplification, and frequency conversion.
- Familiarity with FPGA-based signal processing systems.
- Experience developing embedded Linux-based radio systems.
- Knowledge of spectrum monitoring, direction finding, electronic warfare, or signals intelligence systems.
- Experience with antenna design, selection, and measurement.
- Experience working on aerospace, defence, security, or advanced R&D programs.
