Job Summary

We're seeking a Senior DSP Engineer to join our team and play a pivotal role in shaping the future of quantum technology. This engineer will design algorithms for instrument control, combining high-level requirements and direct laboratory measurements to address system goals. The ideal candidate will be responsible for developing custom algorithms for systems with limited resources, as well as developing test plans to extract empirical data that will amplify simulation results.

Key Responsibilities
  • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of physicists, EEs, mechanical engineers, and optical engineers to create next-generation quantum instruments.
  • Design signal processing algorithms for precision sensors, including implementations in CPUs and RTL-based FPGA systems.
  • Work with various simulation tools to define and validate customized signal-processing algorithms for a wide range of sensor applications.
  • Develop implementations that meet system-level requirements in limited-resource embedded systems, assisting with the translation into RTL or firmware implementations.
  • Define experiments to characterize plant behavior, measure performance metrics, and system identification.
  • Collaborate with EEs and software engineers to identify issues and debug systems.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and five (5) years of experience relevant to signal processing.
  • Expert understanding of theory and practical implementation of signal processing, with practical experience in digital signal processing topics such as lock-in amplifiers, FFTs, FIRs, IIRs, CICs, DDSs, MIMO processing, multi-rate filtering, OFDM, sampling theory, Kalman filters, modulation, I/Q, harmonics generation, and quantization effects.
  • Able to define digital algorithms that can be coded on hardware systems such as FPGAs and CPU-based firmware.
  • Comfortable working in a dynamic laboratory environment.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with coworkers and collaborators, both written and verbal.
  • US export control laws require U.S. Persons, including US citizens (born or naturalized), lawful permanent residents, and certain categories of refugees, and asylees.
Preferred Skills
  • Previous experience designing and optimizing digital signal processing algorithms for embedded instrumentation, emphasizing sensors.
  • Simulation of signal processing algorithms using MATLAB, Simulink, and/or Python.
  • Signal analysis background for model identification and parameter extraction.
  • Understanding of noise mechanisms in electronic systems, including estimation of noise in systems with digital, RF, and analog sections.
  • Define complex signal processing algorithms in fixed-point and variable-bit width environments, optimizing algorithms for performance while considering resource utilization.
  • C/C++, Python, and/or Rust coding skills, with practical experience in professional CASE tools, including revision control, bug tracking, and debuggers.
Benefits

At Vector Atomic, we value teamwork, open and honest discourse, and work-life balance. We offer competitive compensation and benefits, including:
