Role: Principal FPGA DSP Engineer

We are currently looking for an experienced Principal FPGA DSP Engineer to join a leading UAE-based defence and space technology organisation working on advanced MODEM, wireless communications, DSP and secure communication systems .

This is a highly technical role suited to an engineer who has strong hands-on experience in FPGA/RTL development combined with digital communications, MODEM/baseband, receivers and DSP .

🔹 What You'll Be Working On

The role will involve the design, development and integration of FPGA-based communication systems, including:

  • MODEM and baseband architecture
  • Digital transmitter and receiver development
  • Real-time DSP and signal-processing algorithms
  • Wireless communication systems and PHY-layer implementation
  • MIMO systems and receiver processing
  • DVB / DVB-S / DVB-S2 and related digital communication technologies
  • RCS / RCS2 and satellite communication technologies
  • SDR and software-defined communication architectures
  • FPGA implementation of communication algorithms and waveforms
  • High-speed digital data paths and hardware/software integration
  • FPGA system integration, verification, debugging and hardware bring-up
  • Timing closure, performance optimisation and resource optimisation
  • Development of solutions for mission-critical defence and space applications

Experience with MODEM + DSP + receiver + wireless communications is particularly important.

🚫 Important

Candidates should have genuine hands-on experience in FPGA-based communications/DSP .

A profile focused only on:

  • Generic FPGA/RTL
  • ASIC design
  • AI/ML acceleration
  • Image/video processing
