Junior Algorithm Engineer – DSP / FPGA Engineer | Thakshana

About the Role

Join Thakshana’s team to support the research and development of signal processing algorithms for wireless and satellite modems. Beyond algorithm development, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to translating mathematical algorithms into hardware, building practical experience in FPGA and embedded systems. This is a rare and exciting opportunity to work on advanced wireless and satellite communication technologies in a collaborative engineering environment with access to state-of-the-art lab facilities.

What You’ll Do

• Support the development and improvement of signal processing algorithms for digital modems (Layer 1 – physical layer)
• Contribute to porting mathematical algorithms onto FPGA and embedded platforms, working closely with hardware engineers
• Work directly with FPGA and embedded hardware, with access to advanced lab facilities
• Analyze and validate algorithm performance through simulation and hardware testing
• Collaborate with the engineering team on system-level design discussions and technical reviews
• Document algorithm designs, test results, and implementation notes clearly

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving, and critical reasoning skills – ability to break down complex problems methodically and think at the system level
• Eagerness to learn and grow in a technically demanding engineering environment
• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Telecom, Electrical, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Foundation in digital communications and DSP basics (digital modulation schemes, filtering, FFT)
• Working knowledge of MATLAB and Python, with exposure to C/C++
• Basic understanding of FPGA and embedded systems concepts (hands-on exposure is a plus)

Nice to Have

• Coursework or projects in wireless communication systems
• Experience with machine learning techniques
• Familiarity with any HDL (e.g., Verilog or VHDL)

What We Offer

• Opportunity to work on advanced wireless and satellite communication technologies
• Exposure to real-world modem and DSP system development
• Collaborative engineering environment with experienced mentors
• Professional growth and technical mentorship
