Opportunity

Are you a DSP engineer ready to apply your skills to projects that truly matter? This is a chance to work on the front lines of national security, developing communication systems that are vital to defense missions. You won’t just write code—you’ll shape the technology that keeps our country safe, collaborating with a team of brilliant minds in a dynamic R&D environment.

Your day-to-day will involve designing and implementing software-based solutions for modern communications. From algorithm development to hardware control, GUI creation to database work, you’ll touch every part of the system. Your products will be well-tested, well-documented, and deployed in real-world defense applications, making a direct impact on mission outcomes.

We’re looking for a self-starter who loves a challenge and isn’t afraid to dive into complex problems. You have a strong foundation in DSP or communications theory and you’re proficient in C/C++ on Unix/Linux. You bring discipline and attention to detail, and you take pride in delivering robust, carefully tested software. If you have experience with X-Midas, MATLAB, or fields like electronic warfare, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to apply that expertise.

This isn’t just another engineering job—it’s a chance to make a difference in a high-stakes, high-reward field. You’ll work on projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible, all while enjoying the rare satisfaction of seeing your work directly contribute to national security.
