APPLIED PHYSICAL SCIENCES CORP
Senior Embedded Digital Signal Processing Engineer (REQ 274)
APPLIED PHYSICAL SCIENCES CORP, Concord, New Hampshire, United States, 03306
Applied Physical Sciences (APS) is looking for a highly motivated senior-level embedded digital signal processing engineer to join our Sensing and Communications Department. Successful candidates will have a BS, MS, or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or similar technical field with a focus in embedded digital signal processing. Professional experience beyond 7 years is desired, but may not be required in all circumstances. Successful applicants will support the development of a state-of-the-art remote sensing and communication systems for autonomous underwater vehicles, undersea systems, and other marine applications.Candidates must have a proven track record of designing, implementing, testing, and optimizing advanced sonar, radar, and communication system signal processing algorithms and state machines on embedded processing platforms using C/C++, assembly, and scripting/tooling using MATLAB/Python. Applicants should be familiar with workflows and development on Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), FPGAs, System-on-Chips/System-on-Modules, as well as Microcontrollers, and should be experienced at writing VHDL as well as C/C++ programming and compilation in a Linux environment. Additionally, applicants should command a thorough understanding of how to translate and optimize high-level algorithmic descriptions (e.g. in MATLAB) to high performance embedded DSP implementations on resource constrained platforms. The applicant shall also possess experience with userspace driver development, ADCs & DAC interfacing, digital communications bus protocols (RS232/RS422/RS485, I2C, I2S, SPI, McBSP, CAN), high speed signaling (LVDS, LVPECL), and SoC cross-domain interconnect (e.g., AXI), is required. Previous experience with hands-on integration and testing of embedded systems into larger platforms is highly desired, including familiarity with and use of typical electronic laboratory test equipment.Responsibilities:
Design and development of complex data handling infrastructure on embedded systems and implementation of signal processing algorithms on these platforms (50%)Laboratory testing and integration with larger electronic systems, and field testing of these systems (30%)Project leadership (20%)Required Attributes and Skills:
