We are well established across multiple markets such as military and defence, uncrewed vehicles such as drones, police and government, and broadcast technology.\nAbout the Role\nAt DTC, our DSP Engineers work at the heart of our wireless technology, designing and developing the signal processing algorithms and proprietary waveforms that enable our products to transmit data reliably and securely over the air.\nYou will work across DSP algorithm design, modelling, simulation and testing, using MATLAB and/or Python to develop new capabilities and enhance our existing Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology. This could include the design, modelling and evaluation of waveforms for reliable communication in challenging channel conditions, encompassing areas such as modulation and coding, waveform shaping, synchronisation, channel estimation, equalisation and signal detection.\nOur work combines advanced engineering with real-world product development. You could be developing a new waveform, modelling and improving an existing system, creating a prototype to demonstrate a new capability, or analysing data to understand and optimise the performance of our technology.\nWireless communications or SDR experience would be highly relevant, but it is not essential. We are equally interested in strong DSP Engineers from other mathematically intensive signal-processing backgrounds.\nExperience with C/C++ and embedded systems would be useful, as would some knowledge or exposure to FPGA technology. You do not need to be an FPGA design expert, however. We are primarily looking for people with strong DSP fundamentals who understand how algorithms can ultimately be translated into practical, real-time products.\nAlthough we are advertising this position at Principal level, we are also very interested in hearing from strong Senior DSP Engineers. We can consider the level of the position based on your experience and technical capability.\nWhy work at DTC\nWe celebrate and recognise success, take pride in our culture, and enjoy working alongside highly skilled colleagues on ground-breaking technology that fuels the continued success of the business.\nWe offer a flexible working environment, competitive salaries, a great benefits package, and ensure that our Engineers receive world-class training and development.\nInterested in finding out more? Click apply today and we will contact suitable candidates for an informal discussion.\nSuccessful applicants will need to be able to undergo Security Clearance, although employment can commence prior to this being obtained.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3039,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Flexible schedule"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T03:13:00Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":58,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.774,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":28,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:2","velocity","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-10-10T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/codan-principal-dsp-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/codan-principal-dsp-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-11T21:56:47Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11254,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-12T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":60416},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=60416"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fcodan-principal-dsp-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fcodan-principal-dsp-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fcodan-principal-dsp-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/codan-principal-dsp-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fcodan-principal-dsp-engineer"}]}
