Overview

We´re expanding our team at Alén Space, and are looking for a DSP Engineer; with passion in what you do, talented and experienced. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team of software, FPGA, and digital signal processing engineers and will support the implementation of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) algorithms in programmable devices (FPGAs).

Responsibilities

- Design digital communication systems using platforms including software defined radios (SDRs) and FPGAs.
- Functional modeling of DSP algorithms and their implementation in RTL (Verilog/VHDL) or high‑level languages (C/C++).
- Support the evolution of our custom space‑tailored radio platforms.

Technical Skills

- Verilog / SystemVerilog
- Yosys / Xilinx Vivado
- Python
- C/C++
- Gnuradio

Existing Applications

- DVB‑S2 transmitter in Verilog.
- ADS‑B receiver in Verilog.
- AIS receiver, hybrid between FPGA (VHF channelizer) and CPU (GNURadio/C++).
- Proprietary M2M modem implemented in C.

Qualifications

- Bachelor or Master’s degree in Telecommunications Engineering.
- More than 3 years of experience in developing signal processing algorithms for communication systems in Python, C/C++ or Matlab using both floating point and fixed‑point design techniques.




- Experience in migrating modeled algorithms to implementations in FPGAs or SDR frameworks.
- Understanding of RF concepts such as AGC, noise figure, power amplifiers, phase noise, PLL, oscillators/mixers.

Valuable Knowledge

- Expertise with Software‑Defined Radios (SDR) frameworks such as GNU Radio.
- Experience with Xilinx Zynq or Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ series FPGAs, Analog Devices AD9361, and other common RF chipsets.
- Some experience with Python or other scripting languages.
- Knowledge of coding theory and techniques: LDPC, Turbo codes.

Benefits

- Work remotely a percentage of the time as defined with the manager.
- Flexible start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.
- Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, adaptable compensation.
- Wellbeing program: Health, dental, and accident insurance; free fruit and free lunch every Friday and much more.
- Personalized career plan development, training, and language learning support.
- Very committed to inclusion and diversity; we promote equal opportunities in recruitment.
