We are recruiting on behalf of a global high-frequency trading leader, building proprietary wireless hardware from scratch. They are bringing the full physical layer algorithm and signal processing design for their next-generation networks entirely in-house, and require a Digital Modem Expert to own their end-to-end PHY layer algorithm lifecycle.
This role is working with cutting-edge tech (microwave, shortwave, and proprietary wave radio technology), and you will be given the opportunity to lead from the front, taking ownership of the most crucial algorithm bottlenecks in their low-latency connectivity hardware.
Key Details
Role Title: Senior Digital Modem Engineer
Location: Fully Remote (Open to candidates across the US and UK/EU)
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Compensation: Highly competitive, above market rate (Flexible with no set upper budget limit, tailored to experience)
What’s in it for you
True Greenfield Ownership: You will join a premier global quantitative trading firm to architect a proprietary, ultra-low-latency wireless network from scratch. There is no legacy code or technical debt to maintain, you own the end-to-end physical layer lifecycle
Ultimate Flexibility: Enjoy a fully remote lifestyle anywhere across the US or Europe, backed by the robust corporate infrastructure, elite hardware resources, and deep financial pooling of a world-class trading firm
Elite Financial Backing: Access uncapped compensation flexibility. We are looking for the absolute top tier of signal processing talent and will construct a remuneration package that reflects your expertise
Key Responsibilities
PHY Layer Architecture: Model, design, and simulate proprietary high-capacity, point-to-point wireless communication waveforms, systems, and algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink
Low-Latency Implementation: Translate complex mathematical wave theory into highly optimised production code, executing floating-point to bit-exact fixed-point conversions
Hardware Mapping: Map and bake signal processing logic directly into physical hardware compute targets, utilizing VHDL/Verilog for high-performance FPGAs (including RFSoC) or optimising custom instruction sets (SIMD/vector pipelines) on target DSP processors
High-Speed Data Interfacing: Collaborate with hardware teams to design low-latency data pipelines, streaming raw radio data cleanly across high-speed network interfaces
Required Skills & Experience
Deep Wireless Modem Expertise: A proven track record designing digital modem architectures specifically for high-capacity, high-frequency, or harsh environments
Mathematical Modelling: Exceptional proficiency in MATLAB and Simulink for the simulation, verification, and end-to-end chain modelling of digital communication systems
Low-Level Hardware Optimisation: Intimate understanding of strict compute, memory, and timing constraints
Experience with microwave, shortwave, or proprietary wave radio technologies
This is a rare opportunity to break into a genuinely world class High Frequency Trading firm and build cutting edge tech from scratch. Please apply now if you feel like this role could suit your skillset and you’d like to discuss further.
