Positions

• Telecom/DSP Engineers with System Background
• DSP Software Engineer with Linux Programming Experience

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:

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!

Currently Available Positions (1, Computing Engineer)

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 DSP-related and have both software and hardware components.

Software work covers a range of areas, including:

• high-level Win and ActiveX applications, both core and GUI, typically Linux GUI or Win Visual C/C++
• interface libraries (DLL, shared object)
• low-level drivers (VxD, kernel mode drivers)
• DSP and embedded system programming (C and asm language for Texas Inst DSPs, and C and asm language for DSPs, and x86 and PPC series embedded processors)

Hardware work also spans a broad area, including:

• DSP, data acquisition, x86, PPC, or MIPS processor board design
• PCI, cPCI, PC/104 board formats, module formats including PTMC and AMC
• schematic capture, FPGA logic design and development (verilog), high speed signal simulation, board layout supervision
• areas of concentration include multi-processor, high speed TDM streams, acoustic and audio signal quality enhancement, video transcoding and noise suppression

Computing Engineer

Education requirement

• BSEE, BSCS, or BSCE
• MSEE, MSCS, or MSCE

Experience

• Less than 1 year

Necessary skills

• 1) You should have previously used some type of embedded dev tools (microcontroller, FPGA, DSP, or similar). You will have an advantage if you are familiar with Texas Instruments CCS tools
• 2) You should know your way around Linux -- be able to download and install a distribution, configure, build and run C/C++ programs
• 3) You should have a basic understanding of IP/UDP -- how media and data transits networks. You would have an advantage if you understand RTP and/or RTSP protocols.
• 4) You *must* possses excellent communication skills and decent writing skills. You will be interfacing with customers and key business relationships such as Texas Instruments, HP, IBM, Dell, and Supermicro. You will also be active on open source and other technical forums. You must know how to organize and express your thoughts.

Location

Dallas, Texas

Work areas

• 1) Supercomputing server accelerators (see Signalogic web pages about CIM technology). Linux C/C++ programming, embedded multicore CPU programming
• 2) Understanding complex agorithms and their underlying mathematics, and applying OpenMP, OpenCL, and other methods of acceleration that take advantage of multicore processing (up to 512 cores)
• 3) Some FPGA logic programming (not complex)

Notes

You will be required to pass an on-premises application test prior to an interview. The test includes math, EE, programming, and logic questions

Previous Positions No Longer Available

Telecom/DSP Engineers with System Background

Signalogic is currently seeking telecom/DSP hardware and software engineers. We need both design engineers and project engineers who have system level understanding.

Qualified candidates should have:

• 1-3 years experience, OR extensive, detailed engineering student employment or internship focused on a DSP related project (one or combination of both required)
• Worked on Texas Inst C5000 or C6000 series project that involves speech codec, video codec, or VoIP algorithm development using Texas Inst DSK, EVM or other board, Code Composer Studio software, C coding, and assembly language coding (required)
• 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

• 3 years experience required
• Embedded Linux real-time system programing experience required
• VoIP host level software development experience required.  Asterisk and OpenSER experience preferred
• experience in embedded microprocessor/DSP system bring-up and debug required
• complex high-speed board design and schematic capture experience required
• Fixed-point DSP coding experience required
• Object-oriented software design and debug experience required
• Computer telephony and network protocol experience required, including UDP/IP, TCP/IP, RTP, RFC4733, and others

DSP Software Engineer with Linux Programming Experience

• Linux development experience required, including C/C++, GCC, and Linux command-line adeptness
• DSP algorithm and fundamental theory understanding required. MATLAB expertise preferred
• Real-time programming experience required. One or more type of Texas Instruement DSP device coding and use of CCS (Code Composer Studio) software tool strongly preferred
• 2-3 yrs. experience required
