Signal Processing Engineer (Radio)
ParisFull-timePosted 2mo ago
About the role
Signal Processing Engineer responsible for the algorithmic core of the drone-to-ground radio link, including waveform design, anti-jam logic, and SIGINT, collaborating with RF hardware, FPGA, and software engineers to bring algorithms from theory to flight.
Responsibilities
- Waveform Design: Design modulation, coding, and equalization schemes for a robust, low-latency radio link.
- Anti-Jamming (ECCM): Build algorithms that keep the radio link alive under active jamming.
- Signal Intelligence (SIGINT): Detect and characterize other radio emitters in the operating environment.
- Mesh Networking: Optimize protocols so multiple radio units share the airwaves without collision.
- AI-Assisted Processing: Apply machine learning to jamming detection and channel prediction where it improves field robustness.
- Field Validation: Take algorithms from simulation to lab bench to real flight test.
- Radio System Integration: Work daily with RF hardware and FPGA engineers to bring designs into a fielded radio.
Qualifications
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or Applied Mathematics.
- 8-12 years designing radio or communication systems, from algorithms to deployed products.
- Hands-on experience with modem or waveform design: modulation, coding, synchronization, equalization.
- Solid grounding in probability, DSP, and information theory; comfortable deriving solutions from first principles.
- Practical awareness of RF hardware and FPGA constraints (latency, precision, real-time processing).
- Exposure to ECCM, SIGINT, or mesh networking is a strong plus.
- Clear communicator across RF, FPGA, and software disciplines.
- Fluency in English required; French is a plus.
