Senior Lab DSP Communication Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 16, 2026. First seen by Alion on May 28, 2026. NVIDIA scores A on the Alion truth index.
We are looking for a talented Signal Processing and Communications Engineer to bridge the gap between simulation and real-world performance for high-speed wireline communication links. In this role, you will analyze lab results to refine development simulators and align them closely with actual SerDes performance, ensuring future designs are driven by real measurements, not just theoretical models. You will play a critical role in optimizing current designs for faster, more reliable chip bring-up and shaping the architecture of next-generation solutions. As part of the algorithm team, you will be actively involved in debugging unique and complex phenomena observed in the lab, working alongside post-silicon engineers to directly influence product performance. Separately, this role also provides a rare opportunity to gain broad system-level understanding, offering visibility into how the SerDes integrates and interacts within the larger chip architecture-insight typically beyond the standard algorithmic scope.
You will collaborate closely with analog and digital designers, signal integrity experts, and other cross-functional teams to ensure simulation models and lab results accurately represent real-world system behavior. If you are passionate about solving complex signal processing challenges and working at the forefront of technology, we want to hear from you.
What You Will Be Doing:
Develop HW tools and flows to improve lab debuggability and visibility.
Correlate simulation results with lab measurements to improve model accuracy.
Work closely with cross-disciplinary teams to ensure accurate and reliable model representation.
Find performance bottlenecks
Characterize and evaluate analog and digital blocks in the lab to contribute to the DSP architecture and modeling strategies for next-generation SerDes designs.
What We Need To See:
BS, MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience.
5+ years of experience in Signal Processing, or Communications.
Strong MATLAB development skills.
Solid understanding of high-speed communication systems and mixed-signal processing.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Excellent collaboration skills and ability to work with multiple teams.
Ways To Stand Out From The Crowd:
Experience in signal integrity.
Background in Chip Design or Mixed Signal design.
Strong Python development skills.
Hands-on lab experience in communication systems.
