What are the responsibilities and job description for the Signal Processing Engineer position at Innovative Signal Analysis Inc.?
Innovative Signal Analysis (ISA) is seeking new engineering talent with an emphasis on signal
analysis, real time algorithm development, high performance computing, and DSP. ISA is a
leading provider of real-time signal and image processing systems for the government and
remains dedicated to the development of high performance signal processing solutions. ISA
works in all phases from concept design, through development and integration, to operations and maintenance of challenging mission critical systems, with offices in Richardson, TX and Aurora, CO.
Strong theoretical background in one or more of the following categories:
- Digital signal processing: FFTs, FIR and IIR filtering, spectral estimation, quantization, etc.
- Estimation theory: Cramer Rao lower bounds, least-squares estimators, maximum likelihood estimation, etc.
- Detection theory: Neyman-Pearson theorem, matched filters, coherent versus non- coherent detection, etc.
- Probability theory: Gaussian random variables, random processes, chi-squared random variables, etc.
- Radar principles: coherent versus non-coherent radar signals, the cross ambiguity function, geo-observable generation and geolocation
- Communication theory: digital modulation types, equalization, concept of spread spectrum, etc.
Required Skills:
- Matlab: able to prototype algorithms
- C/C : able to translate algorithms to code
- UNIX scripting, agile processes, configuration management
- Ability to develop readable and efficient code
- Cognizant of computers/SW architecture (cache, heap versus stack, etc.)
- Familiar with revision control (GIT, Jira)
- Familiar with analyst tools (Algo Tools, analystTools, etc.)
Other Attributes:
- The ability to span the spectrum from the theoretical algorithm development to a real time implementation. The best candidates can both understand the theory as well as
implement algorithms in C/C .
- Strong communication skills, including documentation and presenting results internally
and externally to the customer (MS Word, MS Excel, and MS PowerPoint experience).
- Team player that enjoys working in a small company environment. Willing to learn.
Qualifications:
- Degree: BS/BA
- Major(s): Computer Science, Computer - Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics,
Mathematics
- Experience: 5-10 years
- Clearance: Position requires TS and ability to obtain SSBI (including polygraph)
