Lead RF / Signal Processing Algorithm Engineer
Primary stack
Job description
About the Position
Data Science UA is a service company with deep expertise in AI and Data Science. Our story started in 2016 with the first Data Science UA Conference in Kyiv, and since then, we’ve built one of the largest AI communities in Europe.
Our client is a fast-growing product company building IoT and radio-frequency devices, working at the intersection of hardware, signal processing, and data.
We are looking for a Lead RF / Signal Processing Algorithm Engineer. You will lead algorithm development for direction finding, geolocation, and GNSS resilience. The role sits where physics, mathematics, and ML meet. What matters most is a solid physical understanding of how radio systems behave: why an antenna mounted in the wrong plane ruins a measurement, or why a given localization method works at all. Deep domain understanding matters more here than perfectly clean code; the team has strong software engineers to support you.
Responsibilities
- Lead the design and development of direction-finding and emitter geolocation algorithms
- Develop and tune beamforming, CRPA, and anti-jamming / anti-spoofing processing
- Work with SDR hardware, including multi-channel synchronization and calibration
- Analyze measurement data and trace poor results back to physical or hardware causes
- Optimize algorithms for efficient computation across large numbers of devices
- Collaborate with data science and software engineers to bring algorithms into production
- Take part in demos for partners and customers
Requirements
- Strong background in radio engineering, telecommunications, or applied physics
- Practical understanding of antennas, signal propagation, and RF measurements
- Direction-finding algorithms: MUSIC, ESPRIT, Root-MUSIC, correlative interferometry, Watson-Watt
- Geolocation methods: AOA, LOB, TDOA, FDOA
- Antenna arrays: UCA, ULA
- Experience with SDR platforms (PlutoSDR, HackRF, AD9361/AD9371) and related libraries (libiio, pyadi-iio)
- GNU Radio and/or MATLAB (Phased Array System Toolbox)
- Solid algorithmic thinking and the ability to optimize computation
- English sufficient for demos and communication with partners and customers
Nice to Have
- CRPA processing: multi-channel phase/gain calibration, mutual coupling compensation, null-steering
- Hardware synchronization and timing
- GNSS SDR software: GNSS-SDR, GPS-SDR-SIM, PyGPSClient
- GNSS tracking loops (DLL, PLL), GPS L1/L2/L5 C/A code tracking
- ML applied to signal data
- Defense tech experience
We Offer
- Competitive salary
- Full-time position
- Opportunity to work in a fast-growing product company
- Collaborative and innovative work environment
