Signal Processing Engineer

CX2 is seeking a highly skilled Signal Processing Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate has solid fundamentals in design, implementation and testing of signal processing techniques using MATLAB, Python and other existing frameworks. Experience in Defense is preferred.

This role requires an onsite presence in our El Segundo, CA HQ; a remote work environment is not considered for this opportunity.

Key Responsibilities

• Digital Signal processing: Design, characterize, and deliver algorithms such as channelizers, frequency agile detection, adaptive filters, MIMO, wideband detectors, and other algorithms related to signal sorting
• Write and contribute to existing Python repositories using CUDA and/PyTorch
• Own requirements, ICDs, and verification from concept through delivery
• Stay current: Track and insert advances in signal processing techniques and associated technologies, adaptive beamforming, RF machine learning, and resilient PNT for GPS-denied ops.

Required Qualifications

• Masters Degree in Electrical, Computer or Systems Engineering or related field with Graduate study emphasis in Signal Processing; OR a Bachelor’s Degree in an Engineering discipline with 3-5 years relevant working Signal Processing Experience
• Intermediate to advanced proficiency in Python
• Willingness to support critical test events that occasionally require extended hours/weekends.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance. Learn more about Security Clearances here.
• Must be a U.S. Person (see ITAR Regulations below) due to required access to U.S. export-controlled information or facilities

Bonus Points

• PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years’ experience with EW subsystems and payloads.
• EA/ECM technique design (deception, Digital RF Memory, coherent/non-coherent techniques).
• Comms system design (LPI/LPD, Waveform-of-Interest exploitation)
• RF machine learning for emitter ID, modulation/classification, anomaly detection, PDW creation
• Tools Experience: ADS/AWR/SystemVue, MATLAB/Simulink, Python (NumPy/SciPy), GNU Radio/SDR (USRP/RFSoC), VITA-49; HDL/firmware experience also helpful (Vivado/Quartus/Libero).
• Clearance: Active Secret or ability to obtain and maintain; TS/SCI eligibility preferred. ITAR/EAR-controlled work.
• Field work: supporting periodic travel for flight tests and customer demonstrations/support
• Mindset: Builder-tester who loves first-principles RF, rapid lab iteration, and getting hardware flying fast.

ITAR Regulations

• To conform to U.S. Government export regulations, applicant must be a US Citizen, Green Card holder, or be eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.
