Salary: £75,000 to £90,000 basic + 15% bonus + benefits
  
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:
