Join our team and build the future of space technology 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).

What you will be doing?

- 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.
- Main languages/technologies used:

Verilog/SystemVerilog. Yosys/Xilinx Vivado.

Python.

C/C++.

GNURadio.

- Examples of existing applications already developed by Alén Space:

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.

What Do We Need In Our Team

- 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…

Candidate qualifications and skills

- Work remotely a percentage of the time to be defined with the manager
- Adaptable start/finish times; reduced intensive working hours on Fridays and in summer Monday to Friday.
- Competitive compensation with ongoing reviews, flexible 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
