Job Summary
We are seeking a skilled and motivated RF Signal Processing Engineer with 3–4 years of hands-on experience in developing, simulating, and implementing algorithms for RF and communication systems. The ideal candidate will have a solid understanding of RF principles, digital signal processing (DSP), and practical experience with tools like MATLAB, Python, and SDR hardware platforms.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Design and implement signal processing algorithms for RF front-ends, receivers, and transmitters.
-
Simulate and analyze RF signals and communication protocols (e.g., QPSK, OFDM, CDMA).
-
Work on signal acquisition, filtering, detection, demodulation, and decoding techniques.
-
Support system integration with hardware platforms including Software Defined Radios (SDRs).
-
Perform RF measurements, lab testing, and validation of developed signal processing blocks.
-
Develop and implement advanced radar signal processing algorithms including pulse compression, Doppler processing, CFAR detection, and tracking filters.
-
Design and simulate radar waveforms for various applications such as SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), MTI (Moving Target Indicator), and FMCW radar systems.
-
Analyze radar system performance and signal integrity under various noise, jamming, and multipath conditions.
-
Optimize real-time signal processing pipelines using embedded platforms (DSPs, FPGAs, or GPUs).
-
Collaborate with cross-functional teams including RF design, embedded systems, and firmware.
-
Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations.
Required Skills & Qualifications:
-
B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Communication, or a related field.

-
Proficient in MATLAB/Simulink, Python (NumPy/SciPy), and C/C++ for DSP implementations.
-
Experience with SDR platforms such as USRP, HackRF, or similar.
-
Knowledge of modulation/demodulation, FFT, filtering, error correction codes, etc.
-
Familiarity with RF test equipment: spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNA.
Preferred Qualifications:
-
Experience with GNURadio, LabVIEW, or FPGA-based signal processing.
-
Background in radar signal processing or satellite communication systems.
-
Familiarity with DO-254/DO-160 or similar aerospace standards (for aerospace/defense roles).
Soft Skills:
-
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
-
Good communication and teamwork abilities.
-
Willingness to learn and adapt to emerging technologies.
