Job Description
Reston, VA
Full Time, Permanent / Hybrid
We’re looking for a Signal Processing Engineer who is excited about working close to the hardware, solving tough real-time challenges, and shaping systems that simply have to perform — every time. If you enjoy turning complexity into clarity and architecture into impact, you’ll thrive here. This role supports mission-critical applications including electronic warfare (EW), and communications requiring near real-time processing and complex algorithm implementations.
When we say mission-driven, we mean it.
At MyDefence, we innovate to protect those who protect people, assets and society. Our counter-drone systems are built to support armed forces, safeguard critical missions and secure vital infrastructure against fast-evolving airborne threats.
We merge deep operational insight with agile engineering — and we care just as much about the people behind the technology as the technology itself. That’s how we create impact that matters.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll work at the core of our embedded platforms, implementing new features, refining integrations, and shaping the architecture that keeps our C-UAV systems stable, responsive, and reliable in real-world environments.
You’ll get to:
- 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/or PyTorch
- Own requirements, ICDs, and verification from concept through delivery
- Track and insert advances in signal processing techniques and associated technologies, adaptive beamforming, RF machine learning, and resilient PNT for GPS-denied ops.
Who we are looking for
- 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
- 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
- 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: MATLAB/Simulink, Python (NumPy/SciPy), 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.
