RF Embedded Software Engineer

Job Role:

The RF Embedded Software Engineer is responsible for implementing advanced digital and signal processing algorithms in real-time computing environments, primarily using FPGAs-based systems, ARM-based processors and host processing systems. The role involves working with a cross-functional team developing RF systems to create product prototypes.

Job Responsibilities:

• Design and implement FPGA-based signal processing pipelines on RFSoC platforms for real-time acquisition and streaming.
• Develop and optimize FPGA workflows using LabVIEW FPGA for USRPs and PXI-based systems.
• Assist in designing SDR-based solutions for wireless communications, signal generation, and high-speed data streaming using GNU Radio and LabVIEW.
• Implement FIFO-based communication architectures between FPGA logic, embedded processors, and host systems for high-throughput data handling.
• Integrate and manage peripheral interfaces (I²C, UART, SPI, AXI) for control and monitoring of external hardware.
• Translate DSP and communication algorithms into efficient FPGA hardware pipelines.
• Validate system performance through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and lab instrumentation.
• Document FPGA architectures, workflows, and experimental outcomes for reproducibility and scalability

Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor or Master degree in communication, software, electronics or related engineering discipline
• Minimum five years of industrial experience
• Proven hands-on experience with FPGA development, preferably on RFSoC-based systems.
• Strong expertise with LabVIEW FPGA for SDR and high-speed data acquisition platforms (USRPs, PXI).
• Experience with wireless communications systems and real-time data processing.
• Hands-on experience with high-speed data throughput handling, buffering, and streaming architectures.
• Proficiency with LabView/ GNU Radio for SDR prototyping and integration with FPGA pipelines.
• Solid experience designing and implementing FIFO-based communication mechanisms between FPGA, processors, and hosts.
• Practical knowledge of I²C, UART, SPI, and AXI communication protocols.
• Understanding of DSP fundamentals (FFT, filtering, modulation/demodulation) and hardware acceleration on FPGA.
• Familiarity with high-speed ADC / DAC integration, clocking, and synchronization.
• Hands-on experience with debugging and validation tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, protocol analyzers).
• Communication skills for working in a multidisciplinary team.
