DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)

DSP Engineer (Digital Signal Processing)

Company: MBRYONICS

Overview: MBRYONICS is at the forefront of free space optical communications, developing photonic integrated circuits, advanced optical systems, and embedded software solutions for space-bound hardware and satellite communications.

Role: As a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Engineer, you will translate advanced communication theory into practical hardware implementations for cutting-edge optical communication systems. This role is well-suited for a recent PhD graduate or nearing completion, looking to apply academic expertise to high-impact, space-bound hardware.

What you’ll do

• Algorithm Development: Design and simulate DSP and Forward Error Correction (FEC) algorithms in floating-point and fixed-point precision to optimize link performance, functionality, and power efficiency.
• Hardware Co-Design: Collaborate with FPGA engineering to produce fixed-point models and specifications for RTL implementation.
• System Modeling: Develop end-to-end models of analog RF and optical components (lasers, modulators, photodetectors, amplifiers) to evaluate performance under real-world conditions.
• Cross-Functional Integration: Work with optical testing and firmware teams to create robust, automated algorithms for transceiver calibration, beam alignment, and run-time optimization in dynamic space environments.
• Validation & Testing: Validate models against hardware data and iterate designs based on lab results.
• Documentation: Document algorithm architectures, simulations, and fixed-point specifications.

Who you are

• Education: Postdoctoral researcher or nearing completion with a PhD in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Telecommunications, Physics, or related field with focus on DSP or digital communications. Industry experience considered.
• Simulation Mastery: Extensive experience with MATLAB and Simulink for modeling and algorithm development.
• Theoretical Grounding: Strong foundation in digital communication theory, modulation, noise modeling, and error-correction techniques.
• Fixed-Point Familiarity: Experience converting floating-point algorithms to fixed-point for FPGA/ASIC implementation.
• Coding Skills: Proficiency in C/C++ or Python is a plus.
• Problem-Solving: Analytical mindset with ability to tackle complex engineering challenges.
• Soft Skills: Clear technical communication, collaborative, and passionate about space technology and free-space optics.

What’s in it for you

• Career Growth: Contribute to world-class space-age programs and develop leadership skills.
• Collaboration: Work across disciplines to drive impactful solutions.
• Innovation: Join a team advancing manufacturing engineering for FSO systems.
• Work-Life Balance: Flexible schedules and comprehensive benefits.

Compensation: 75,000 - 90,000 EUR per year (Galway) or 75,000 - 90,000 EUR per year (Cork).

Location: Cork, Ireland; Galway, Ireland (Hybrid/On-site as applicable).
