Job description

  • We are seeking a Senior PHY Algorithm Engineer to join our team and contribute to the development and delivery of state-of-the-art algorithmic solutions integrated into the company’s products. The successful candidate will have hands-on experience designing and developing algorithms intended for implementation on dedicated hardware accelerators, CPUs, GPUs, and vector DSPs. In this role, you will be responsible for the development, optimization, and long- term support of high-performance DSP algorithm pipelines. You will work closely with Digital Front-End design, verification, and embedded DSP software teams throughout the full algorithm development lifecycle. You will support silicon bring-up and end-to-end system integration, including data analysis and validation, working closely with cross-functional teams to ensure robust, production-ready solutions.

What you’ll do

  • Research, design, and develop advanced signal processing algorithms for sensing applications

  • Define, document, and maintain algorithmic specifications and technical documentation
  • Perform fixed-point analysis and modeling to support efficient HW and SW implementations

  • Develop and execute end-to-end algorithm pipeline simulations using MATLAB and/or Python

  • Conduct algorithm performance evaluation and validation at both block and system levels within simulation environments

  • Optimize platform and HW architectures with a focus on effective HW/SW partitioning
  • Collaborate closely with front-end design, verification, architecture, SW, and system teams throughout the development lifecycle

Requirements

PHY, PHY, Algorithms, Leading Edge Technology, CPU (Central Processing Unit), GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Signal Processing Algorithms, User Interface Design, Embedded Software, * Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in algorithm development, spanning concept, modeling, and implementation, for signal processing and/or advanced communication systems

  • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, and C/C++ for the development, integration, and validation of algorithms within end-to-end DSP pipelines

  • Demonstrated expertise in fixed-point design and implementation of computationally intensive algorithms, including the delivery of bit-exact and cycle-accurate fixed-point models and detailed specifications

  • Proven experience collaborating with Digital Front-End designers, verification engineers, and embedded DSP software developers, including the generation of test vectors to enable bit-exact algorithm implementations in RTL and embedded software

  • Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving capabilities
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A collaborative team-oriented mindset with the ability to work effectively across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Preferred Qualifications

  • MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field
  • Experience in algorithm development and data analysis across application domains such as automotive systems, IoT, robotics, and multimodal sensor platforms

  • Strong foundation in signal processing, including spectrum analysis, filter design, estimation and detection theory, and optimization techniques

  • Experience developing computer vision and machine learning algorithms, including clustering, tracking, classification, and 3D point-cloud processing

  • Proven experience porting and optimizing DSP algorithms for dedicated HW accelerators and heterogeneous CPU/DSP/GPU architectures, with particular emphasis on radar and LiDAR sensor applications

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k) retirement plan
  • Flexible vacation and time-off policy
  • Collaborative, fast-paced, and inclusive work environment
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies with a highly cross-functional team
