About the role Muon Space seeks a talented Senior FPGA Engineer with RF DSP Expertise to join our High Performance Compute team. In this role, you will implement HDL for digital signal processing of RF systems on FPGAs, and design and optimize these algorithms. You'll work at the intersection of RF theory, DSP algorithm development, software defined radio (SDR), and high performance digital FPGA design to deliver high-performance wireless communication and RF sensing products. If you thrive on complex challenges in a dynamic startup environment and want to build the future of Earth observation, we want to hear from you. Responsibilities Implement and optimize DSP algorithms on FPGAs for real-time execution; support algorithm prototyping in Python and porting to ARM SoCs Design, simulate, and implement DSP algorithms for RF applications (Communications, ESM, Radar, etc.) Collaborate with RF hardware engineers on instrument bring-up, calibration routines, and system integration, and team up with other software departments Author technical documentation, design specifications, and test reports Qualifications BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field 5+ years of professional experience in FPGA development of RF DSP and translating prototype algorithms into FPGA implementations Experience with general RF digital signal processing techniques in some of the following areas: spectrum monitoring, signal intelligence, modulation/demodulation, filtering, channel estimation, equalization, synchronization, AGC, DPD, etc.
