Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer

Are you a hands-on engineer with deep expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and high-level system modelling? Do you want to work on next-generation Human-Machine Interface (HMI) technology that will shape the future of user interaction? If you thrive at the intersection of modelling, system analysis, and real-world hardware experimentation, this role is made for you. Our client is a global technology leader developing state-of-the-art mixed-signal and HMI systems. They are now seeking an experienced Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer to join their advanced R&D team in Hampshire., Key Responsibilities: Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer As a Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer, you will:

• Lead modelling, simulation, and analysis of complex mixed-signal front-end systems
• Capture and process real-time sensor data using both analogue and digital signal processing
• Support the implementation, integration, and validation of innovative algorithms
• Develop new touch detection schemes and evolve existing DSP algorithms
• Collaborate closely with IC design, firmware, system architecture, and validation teams to ensure seamless modelling-to-hardware correlation
• Define research objectives and problem statements with internal stakeholders
• Take full ownership of experiments from concept and simulation to hardware validation

What You’ll Bring to the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role.

• Deep, hands-on knowledge of DSP design, modelling, and algorithm development
• (Not just DSP usage, an ability to understand how and why it works)
• Proven experience in high-level modelling and simulation of complex systems
• Strong understanding of mixed-signal systems, ASIC design concepts, and analysis tools
• Proficiency with MATLAB, Simulink and/or Python (two or more required)
• Experience using version control systems like Git or Subversion
• Knowledge of Agile development workflows
• Proactive, curious mindset with strong collaboration skills
• Willingness to travel for research and project collaboration

Education

• MSc or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Signal Processing, or a closely related field
• BEng or MEng (Upper Second Class or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline
• 5+ years post-graduate engineering experience

Desirable skills/experience for the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role

• SPICE, HDL, Verilog, FPGA knowledge
• Experience with physics-based modelling tools (e.g., Ansys, HFSS)
• Background in HMI, sensing, or display technologies

• Be part of an R&D team pushing innovation in mixed-signal and DSP systems
• Solve complex real-world engineering problems
• Excellent long-term career growth within a global tech organisation
• Visa Sponsorship is available
• Hybrid working

If you are passionate about DSP at a fundamental level and want to drive real innovation in advanced sensing technology, we’d love to hear from you.
