DSP Firmware Engineer

The DSP Firmware Engineer designs, develops, tests, and maintains Physical Layer firmware components for LTE and 5G NR, including real-time control flows, hardware drivers and digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, working closely with algorithm, hardware, and integration teams within our Israel R&D center.

What you’ll do

• Design, implement, and validate firmware modules end-to-end, from requirements through delivery.

• Implement real-time control flows, hardware drivers, and DSP algorithms for cellular baseband processing.

• Define and maintain firmware interfaces between subsystems and toward hardware.

• Maintain and enhance development, simulation, and debugging environments, including internal tools and test automation.

• Analyze processor and pipeline resource utilization to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.

• Support system integration, bring-up, debugging, and performance optimization activities.

• Collaborate closely with algorithm, hardware, and integration teams throughout the development lifecycle.

What we’re looking for

• Hands-on experience in C/C++ firmware development, with good knowledge of real-time/embedded fundamentals: interrupts, memory management, hardware abstraction and drivers.

• Comfortable working in Unix environments (Python, shell scripting, CI/build tooling).

• Experience operating in multidisciplinary hardware/software development environments.

• Experience with cellular systems (LTE/NR) or DSP/fixed-point algorithm implementation is a strong plus.

• B.Sc. or M.Sc. degree in Electrical/Electronics or Telecommunications Engineering.

Soft skills

• Fast learning capabilities.

• Ability to thrive in a fast-moving, multicultural environment.

• Strong team spirit.

• Efficiency, commitment, and customer focus.

• Excellent communication skills; fluent English required.
