Software Defined Radio Engineer (SDR)

Software Defined Radio Engineer

Two Six Technologies is seeking a Software Defined Radio Engineer to support a variety of interesting R&D programs in a hands-on laboratory environment. Specifically, we are interested in candidates with RF electronics design experience, RF protocol design & analysis, and software-defined radio (SDR) development experience. The ideal candidate will provide their RF expertise to reverse engineer systems and develop RF applications.

Responsibilities Include:

• Set up and operate laboratory-based Software-Defined Radio (SDR) hardware/software
• Perform signal detection, identification, and decoding of captured waveforms
• Perform RF signal reception and transmission of data using various modulation schemes (FSK, PSK, QAM, etc.)
• Solving technical problems in the areas of communications, signals collection, and data processing
• Developing experiments and prototypes in our laboratory facilities that include extensive SDR hardware, FPGA development systems, and RF signals test and measurement equipment
• Providing subject matter expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Software Defined Radios (SDR)

Education Requirements:

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 3 years of experience.
• Each higher-level degree, i.e., a Master's Degree or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience. The degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.

Required Qualifications:

• The ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance and willingness to obtain Polygraph clearance. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
• Minimum 3 years of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and Software Defined Radios (SDR) development experience
• Experience in a laboratory environment working with SDRs or FPGAs, and associated test equipment
• Experience in developing and implementing DSP algorithms with real-world performance requirements on either CPU or FPGA-based platforms
• Experience working with customers and on project teams

Nice To Have:

• Demonstrated ability to architect and implement digital processing and SDR system solutions with real-world performance requirements
• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical discipline
• Proficiency with a variety of popular SDR or FPGA tools such as GNURadio, Radio Hacker, GQRX, Vivado, or ModelSim
• Experience working with experts in the fields of antenna systems, RF systems, SIGINT processing, communications systems, and hardware prototyping
• Experience with Linux-based DSP systems that span across CPUs, FPGAs, GPUs, and SDR platforms
• Strong background in scientific programming using languages such as C, C++, Embedded HDLs, Julia, or Python.
• Experience leading development projects and mentoring junior staff
• Active TS/SCI clearance and ability to obtain a polygraph
