Support the evolution of custom space-tailored radio platforms **DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)** -------------------------------------------- ### **Join our team and build the future of space technology** We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a DSP Engineer; **with passion in what you do**, talented and experienced. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of software, FPGA, and digital signal processing engineers and will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGAs). #### **What you will be doing?** Design digital communication systems using platforms including software defined radios (SDRs) and FPGAs. * Functional modeling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high\-level languages (C/C\+\+). * Support the evolution of our custom space\-tailored radio platforms. * * Main languages/technologies used: Verilog/SystemVerilog. Yosys/Xilinx Vivado. Python. C/C\+\+. GNURadio. * Examples of existing applications already developed by Alén Space: DVB\-S2 transmitter in Verilog. ADS\-B receiver in Verilog. AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channelizer) and CPU (GNURadio/C\+\+). Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C. #### **What do we need in our team** * Bachelor or Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering. * More than 3 years of experience in developing signal processing algorithms for communication systems in Python, C/C\+\+ or Matlab using both floating point and fixed\-point design techniques. Experience in migrating modeled algorithms to implementations in FPGAs or SDR frameworks. * Understanding of RF concepts such as AGC, noise figure, power amplifiers, phase noise, PLL, oscillators/mixers. * Valuable knowledge: Expertise with Software\-Defined Radios (SDR) frameworks such as GNU Radio. * Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale\+ series FPGAs, Analog Devices AD9361, and other common RF chipsets. * Some experience with Python or other scripting languages. * * Knowledge of coding theory and techniques: LDPC, Turbo codes… #### **Candidate qualifications and skills** * Work remotely a percentage of the time to be defined with the manager * Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday. * Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible compensation . * Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and free lunch every friday and much more! * Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support * Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment If you like what you read, then we might have a match. This is the culture we want to have and keep building. So, if that’s also your case, let’s get to know each other! #### **Ready to take on the challenge?** \#LI\-Hybrid \#AlénSpace
