POSITION SUMMARY :

We are seeking a highly skilled Intermediate FPGA / Digital Signal Processing Developer to lead the design and implementation of digital control and signal processing functions for advanced sonar systems. This role bridges high-performance embedded design with real-world acoustic applications developing precision timing, waveform generation, data acquisition, and control logic that form the core of our sonar systems.

You will collaborate closely with systems, electrical, and acoustic developers to ensure that digital control, timing, and signal integrity meet the demanding performance requirements of modern active sonar.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES :

  • Architect, implement, and validate FPGA / DSP-based control and signal processing algorithms for sonar TX / RX paths.
  • Own the full FPGA development lifecycle : specification, simulation, synthesis, timing closure, and validation.
  • Design and optimize digital waveform generation, amplitude control, and timing synchronization logic.
  • Implement high-speed data acquisition, filtering, and real-time processing for sonar receive channels.
  • Integrate and verify firmware with analog front ends, power amplifiers, transducer arrays, and system controllers.
  • Integrate FPGA designs with high-speed interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, ADC / DAC).
  • Contribute to development and maintenance of embedded software for system control, diagnostics, and calibration functions.
  • Support lab and field testing, including instrumentation, validation, and performance tuning.
  • Collaborate across hardware, software, and acoustic domains to ensure coherent system-level design.
  • Document system architecture, timing specifications, and signal processing configurations.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior developers and engineers.
  • QUALIFICATIONS AND EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS :

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded digital design and FPGA-based signal processing.
  • Prior work on sonar, radar, or acoustic systems is highly desirable.
  • Strong background in digital and mixed-signal circuit design and integration.
  • Proven experience in FPGA or DSP development for real-time signal generation and data acquisition.
  • Proficiency in VHDL / Verilog for timing-critical control and data paths.
  • Experience integrating FPGA designs with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, ADC / DAC, ethernet).
  • Experience with high-speed DACs / ADCs, precision clocking, and low-jitter synchronization.
  • Solid understanding of sampling theory, quantization, digital filtering, and signal integrity.
  • Familiarity with power electronics interfaces, protection sequencing, and gating logic
  • Skilled in hardware–firmware integration using oscilloscopes, logic / spectrum analyzers, and high-speed probes.
  • Knowledge of real-time data acquisition architectures (DMA, streaming, buffering)
  • Experience with system safety and interlock design for high-voltage or high-power systems.
  • Familiar with C / C++ programming for integrating with software systems and drivers.
  • Strong debugging, documentation, and configuration management discipline.
  • PREFERRED SKILLS :

  • Focused team player.
  • Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
  • Experience developing sonar transmit waveforms (chirp, tone burst, coded pulse).
  • Understanding of acoustic transducer characteristics, resonance and impedance matching.
  • Knowledge of ping scheduling and synchronization in multi-channel or networked sonar systems.
  • Familiarity with time-varying gain (TVG), automatic gain control (AGC), and adaptive scaling.
  • Experience with beamforming, phase calibration, and matched filtering in FPGA / DSP environments.
  • If you're a motivated individual looking to contribute to a dynamic team, we encourage you to apply for this position.
