DSP Software Engineer
CSignum is the only wireless communications provider that enables transmission of data through the water-air boundary, water column, seabed and subsea structures using RadiEM technology. Our patented communication, monitoring and navigational platform and solutions help global aquaculture, ocean observing, offshore wind, and oil and gas industries.

Purpose of the Role
This role will support the development CSignum’s flagship product development. The role is a permanent position in our expanding Software department. The role is available due to acceleration of feature additions to our flagship product, and strong desire to improve our DSP offering. This will involve hands-on working in the Bathgate office to carry out test activities that cannot be done working remotely.
Our unique, low-frequency radio-modem products communicate through water, based on modulation of a time varying magnetic field. Our magnetic carrier operates at audio frequencies, in the low kHz region, and communicates data using conventional QPSK modulation. We apply adaptive equalisation techniques to compensate for the distortion characteristics introduced by our complex transmission media. Our receiver dynamically combines signals from three antennas, arranged in an x, y, z axis configuration, to adapt to the incident magnetic field direction. The company has an ambitious technology roadmap to improve data rates, range and energy efficiency. We typically have a relatively short development cycle between DSP coding improvements and witnessing the resultant effects on product performance through in water testing.
