Cutting-Edge R&D | Advanced DSP Design | Human–Machine Interface Technology

Are you a hands-on engineer with deep expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and high-level system modelling? Do you want to work on next-generation Human–Machine Interface (HMI) technology that will shape the future of user interaction?

If you thrive at the intersection of modelling, system analysis, and real-world hardware experimentation, this role is made for you.

Our client is a global technology leader developing state-of-the-art mixed-signal and HMI systems. They are now seeking an experienced Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer to join their advanced R&D team in Hampshire.

Why this role is different - Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer

This position isn’t just about using DSP, it’s about truly understanding it. You’ll be developing, analysing, and validating systems that rely on DSP design principles, signal acquisition, mixed-signal modelling, and algorithm development. Your work will directly influence next-generation touch and sensing technologies.

Key Responsibilities: Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer

As a Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer, you will:

Lead modelling, simulation, and analysis of complex mixed-signal front-end systems

Capture and process real-time sensor data using both analogue and digital signal processing

Support the implementation, integration, and validation of innovative algorithms

Develop new touch detection schemes and evolve existing DSP algorithms

Collaborate closely with IC design, firmware, system architecture, and validation teams to ensure seamless modelling-to-hardware correlation

Define research objectives and problem statements with internal stakeholders

Take full ownership of experiments from concept and simulation to hardware validation What You’ll Bring to the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role.

To excel in this role, you must have:

Essential Skills & Experience

Deep, hands-on knowledge of DSP design, modelling, and algorithm development

(Not just DSP usage, an ability to understand how and why it works)

Proven experience in high-level modelling and simulation of complex systems

Strong understanding of mixed-signal systems, ASIC design concepts, and analysis tools

Proficiency with MATLAB, Simulink and/or Python (two or more required)

Experience using version control systems like Git or Subversion

Knowledge of Agile development workflows

Proactive, curious mindset with strong collaboration skills

Willingness to travel for research and project collaboration Education

MSc or PhD in Electronics Engineering, Signal Processing, or a closely related field

BEng or MEng (Upper Second Class or equivalent) in a relevant engineering discipline

5+ years post-graduate engineering experience Desirable skills/experience for the Senior DSP Algorithm Engineer role

SPICE, HDL, Verilog, FPGA knowledge

Experience with physics-based modelling tools (e.g., Ansys, HFSS)

Background in HMI, sensing, or display technologies Why Apply?

Work on cutting-edge HMI and sensing technology

Be part of an R&D team pushing innovation in mixed-signal and DSP systems

Solve complex real-world engineering problems

Excellent long-term career growth within a global tech organisation
