Pareto Frontier is looking for a Principal Signal Processing Scientist to join our elite technical solutions in Tactical Wireless Communications.  The Scientist will be involved in the conception, development, implementation and verification of advanced signal processing-oriented solutions across multiple technology areas. Proficiency with advanced algorithm research & development, real-time signal processing, and MATLAB-based modeling and simulation are required. The ideal candidate will be highly self-motivated, ambitious and comfortable assuming many roles within an intense, fast-paced start-up environment.

Required Skills:

• Proven ability to innovate and apply novel solutions to challenging problems within the RF Signal Processing / Wireless Communications field.
• Experience working as the systems-architect responsible for transitioning algorithms to FPGA/Software Engineering team for hardware implementation.
• Signal Processing expertise (PhD or 5 years min experience): Deep understanding of DSP fundamentals such as: Time/Frequency domain representations and analysis, Digital filtering/resampling techniques, fixed point processing, and computational complexity analysis. Background in Statistical Signal Processing (Detection and Estimation Theory) is highly desired.
• Experience working in an electronics lab environment: knowledge and ability to use RF test equipment (such as oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, and vector signal analyzer)

Successful Candidate Will Have the Following Traits:

• Taking ownership of assigned tasks and driving them to completion
• Ability to do research on your own and/or through collaboration
• Strong ability to communicate with customers and team members
• Motivation to go above and beyond assigned duties

Desired Skills:

• Extensive Background in RF/Wireless Communications-oriented Signal Processing
• MS/PhD is preferred but Bachelor's with 7-10 years minimum experience will be considered based on the individual.

Export Control Requirement: This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a "US Person" as defined by 22 C.F.R. 120.15 is required. "US Person" includes US Citizen, lawful permanent resident, refugee, or asylee.

• Must meet eligibility criteria to obtain and maintain a Secret-level clearance (post-hire), typically only awarded to U.S. citizens.
• All candidates must also successfully pass a Commercial Background Investigation (CBI).
