Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Engineer
About The Position
CACI is seeking a Digital Signal Processing Engineer to develop next-generation signals intelligence (SIGINT) and electronic warfare systems for the Department of Defense. The position supports a program using Model-Based Systems Engineering and Agile software development to deliver capabilities for warfighters and national security missions. The engineer designs, develops, debugs, integrates, and tests signal-processing algorithms and SIGINT software on varied platforms. The role also involves software and DSP algorithm development, machine-learning applications, analytic signal-processing tools, and maintenance of X-Midas and M2Extra tools. The engineer helps define requirements, concepts of operations (CONOPs), and future-system architectures. A Top Secret clearance is required to begin employment; continued employment requires obtaining a TS/SCI clearance. Travel is up to 10% within the continental United States.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant engineering discipline, such as Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering.
- At least 7 years of related experience in relevant engineering disciplines, such as Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Software Engineering.
- Programming experience with Python, X-Midas, M2Extra, and C++.
- Linux software development experience.
- Demonstrated ability to communicate technical and analytical information in written products.
- Exposure to all phases of the software development lifecycle: concept, design, implementation, test, and production.
- Experience working in highly collaborative teams focused on signal processing and software development.
- Top Secret clearance required to begin employment; must obtain TS/SCI clearance to continue employment.
Nice To Haves
- Master’s degree.
- Understanding of software-defined radio systems, including receiver architectures, software channelization, modulation/demodulation techniques, and spectral analysis.
