Where/How to Send Resume Your resume must be accompanied by a Signalogic-specific cover letter according to following guidelines: 1) Your cover letter should include 3 or so paragraphs that explain a) clearly and thoughtfully why you are suitable and why you meet the requirements, and b) to which specific Signalogic products you think you could contribute value, and why. 2) If you send your cover letter by e-mail, then it must be in the e-mail body (i.e. text) and not as an attachment. If you send by fax, then your cover letter must be either the cover page of the fax, or the first page after the cover page.

It is required that you follow the above guidelines in order to be considered for employment. It should not have to be stated, but due to the surprising number of people who are not following instructions, we state it plainly here: the ability to follow instructions is a basic, crucial requirement for employment.

It also should be noted that if you're not willing to make an effort to generate a cover letter specific to the Signalogic job position, then we can assume you're sending the same, identical material to multiple companies, without making an effort specific to any one company. If that's the case, then we have no way to differentiate your resume from spam resumes.  Please spend time to read this page carefully and to research Signalogic's products that will help us determine whether to spend time to interview you. If you do not follow above guidelines, then you may receive no response from Signalogic one way or another regarding your resume and any other information that you might send to us. Currently Signalogic has the positions listed below available. Please fax resume to:

972-598-0806

or e-mail to:

job_applicant_resume at Signalogic.com If you send your resume by e-mail, please send in the following formats:
• PDF
 
• JPG or other scanned image format
You should *not* send as a Word file (.doc or .rtf file), as we have received some resume files in these formats containing macro virus. If for some reason you have to send your resume as a .doc or .rtf file, then include a note in your e-mail cover letter explaining that you have run your .doc file through an anti-virus program and say which one, otherwise you may receive no response to your inquiry.

Note: fax or e-mail only, please do not call!

Overview of Engineering Work at Signalogic

New engineering projects have started recently and more are expected, including both new catalog products and contract work for telecom, Internet equipment, and voice/video projects. These projects are typically high performance related and have both software and hardware components.

Software work covers a range of areas, including:

• high capacity, high performance computing (HPC) in application areas of media, radar, AI, data analytics
• server programming, including DPDK, virtualization, drivers, and multicore
• embedded system programming for Texas Inst multicore CPUs
• other platforms include ATCA

Hardware work also spans a broad area, including:

• data acquisition, x86, PPC, processor board design
• PCIe and ATCA board formats, module formats including AMC
• schematic capture, FPGA logic design and development (verilog), high speed signal simulation, board layout supervision
• areas of concentration include multi-processor, high throughput, media processing, video transcoding, and computer vision

• Host C/C++ coding experience under Linux (GCC tools), or WinXP; e.g. Visual C/C++ 6.0 (required)
• Experience in telecom hardware design, including schematic capture (e.g. OrCAD), board design, FPGA and CPLD logic (e.g. Xilinx Verilog and/or schematic tools). H.110 bus and packet-protocols (preferred but not required)

Task responsibilities for the project engineer are summarized as:

• Must contribute to, supervise, and monitor system software and hardware design
• Be able to identify those areas where Signalogic should concentrate on original DSP/telecom software function development, vs. areas where specific DSP functions like G.xxx vocoder, echo cancellers, DTMF, can be obtained in cost-effective and specific form from other vendors

In addition, the project engineer must maintain close contact with customers, oversee vendor issues such as prototype fab and procurement, etc.

DSP System Engineer
