SDR/DSP Engineer

SDR/DSP Engineer

Aerospacelab

Mont-Saint-Guibert, Belgium

Role overview

• Design and implement DSP architecture for satellite telecommunication constellations
• Design and implement DSP algorithms for modulation, demodulation, filtering, synchronization, channel estimation, and error correction
• Develop SDR-based communication systems using development platforms (USRP, Etthus, ...)
• Design modulation, coding, and multiplexing techniques for reliable satellite links.
• Support all aspects of the development chain: requirements, architecture, design, manufacturing, integration, test, operations
• Work with strong interactions with various teams (mainly FPGA, SW, network)
• Support design reviews to ensure requirements and interface compliance

Must have

• MSc or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunication Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Software Engineering, or related field
• 3+ years of experience in DSP or telecommunication systems
• Knowledge of software-defined radios (SDR) and digital signal processing (DSP)
• Strong experience with scripting language (e.g. Python)
• Demonstrated ability to work autonomously across teams and company to drive multi-disciplinary projects to completion
• Good communication skills
• Fluency in English

Nice to have

• A passion for technology and rapid execution of sophisticated space missions · Knowledge of satellite telecommunications standards (e.g. 5G, DVB, ...)
• Experience with designing FIR filters
• Experience with FPGA coding
• Experience adapting signal processing algorithms for HW implementation (parallelizing, optimizing HW resources, etc.)
• System level view of satellite communication (signaling, ranging, frequency allocation/hopping, time slicing, etc.)
• Knowledge of RF subsystems (transponders, antennas, amplifiers, frequency converters, SSPA,…)
• Experience in space industry
• Willing to work out of your comfort zone
• Experience on hardware testing and validation using advanced RF measurement tools (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators). This includes troubleshooting signal integrity and synchronization issues across the RF and baseband domains
