About the Job

Requirements

  • A PhD or master's degree in electrical/electronics engineering or a related field, and 12 or more years of experience in defence signal processing, electronic warfare, or radio communications.
  • Deep expertise in statistical signal processing, including detection, estimation, synchronization, modulation classification, and emitter identification.
  • Strong knowledge of cellular technologies (LTE and 5G NR) and their analysis in contested, congested environments.
  • A proven record of taking algorithms from concept to field-validated capability.
  • Proficiency in MATLAB and Python, and understanding of FPGA implementation constraints.
  • A Secret clearance or ability to obtain one, and eligibility for the Controlled Goods Program.
  • Excellent English communication; French is an important asset.

Responsibilities

  • Provide technical direction and design authority on assigned SIGINT/EW programs, from architecture through field validation.
  • Develop algorithms for detection, classification, and identification of RF emitters, including passive analysis of LTE and 5G NR signals from I/Q captures.
  • Define real-time DSP architectures for FPGA/RFSoC, working with FPGA, VITA 49, and embedded teams.
  • Apply machine learning to spectrum awareness and signal characterization.
  • Plan and lead laboratory, hardware-in-the-loop, and field-trial campaigns, including requirements for shielded RF laboratories.
  • Lead technical reviews, risk assessments, and verification strategy.
  • Contribute to technical proposals for funded research and development programs and new defence engagements.
  • Mentor engineers and raise technical standards across the team.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in counter-UAS or counter-RCIED.
  • Participation in NATO, TTCP, or allied research activities.
  • Peer-reviewed publications or patents in RF sensing or communications.
  • Experience with software-defined radio platforms and RF test equipment.
  • Ability to work on multiple requests, prioritize activities, and support users or internal teams.
  • Experience with continuous improvement, problem solving, and system reliability.
  • Interest in complex technical environments and high-impact projects.
