# Contract DSP Engineer - Radar

- **Company:** Redline Group
- **Location:** Maldon, United Kingdom
- **Salary:** £19,000 - £69,800
- **Contract:** Temporary to permanent
- **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), Hardware Design, Real-Time Operating Systems, Signal Processing, Test-Driven Development (TDD), NVIDIA Jetson
- **Published:** November 12, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.adzuna.co.uk/jobs/details/5961625624

## About the Role

* Experience in radar signal processing, including Range Doppler, CFAR detection, and target tracking
 * Real-time software development using Rust, C, or C++
 * GPU-accelerated signal processing on NVIDIA platforms, ideally NVIDIA Jetson, with high data rates in real time
 * Test-driven development experience and experience creating DSP test harnesses
 * FPGA exposure is desirable

## Description

* Develop radar signal processing algorithms and real-time software
 * Help develop the end-to-end signal processing chain
 * Support the transition from simulated data environments to real-world hardware integration
 * Work closely with the team to develop the ground-based sensing platform

Technologies:

 * FPGA
 * Hardware
 * Support
 * Rust
 * C++, We are supporting a Cambridge-based technology business developing advanced sensor and radar systems and bringing a next-generation product to market. This hands-on contract role supports signal processing development during a critical phase of product development, working with a small, highly experienced team. The initial assignment is expected to last 3-4 months, with strong potential for extension, and requires on-site work in Cambridge for most of the assignment. The client is considered exempt for IR35 purposes; contractors operating through their own PSC are responsible for assessing their IR35 status.
