Who are we?Rampart Communications Inc. is based in central Maryland. Our mission is to make the connected world more safe and more secure for individuals, businesses, and governments. We've advanced the bounds of information theory, secured independent validation and patents, and built systems and networks that are revolutionizing secure communications.Our ValuesWe believe that privacy is a right. We endeavor to advance the boundaries of science. We value personal and professional integrity above all else.Why Rampart?We thrive on solving complex problems. We think deeply about simple, foundational challenges in systems, signals, and science. We're a deep-tech startup: our solutions aren't the "next best things" in security or communications; they're advances that were not considered possible, or practical but we've achieved them, built the proofs, and are keen to press our advantage.We are looking for motivated professionals who bring something different to the table, who come with curiosity and talent, and who represent fresh ideas and perspectives. Lastly, and most importantly: we are an equal opportunity employer who actively celebrates diversity and who is committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. In addition to our unique culture and mission, we offer the following benefits:100% Employer-funded Carefirst Open PPOEmployer-funded Health Savings Account401(k) plan with Employer contributionsEmployee Incentive PlanAll Federal Holidays and Generous PTO! What You'll Do!Rampart has some ambitious goals. The DSP Comms role offers unique opportunities to broaden your experience and to use your talents to tackle challenges. Working here, you will contribute to the foundation of next generation wireless capabilities. Some of what the engineers do at Rampart will be to Implement logic in Matlab, C++, and/or HDL, and work with other hardware engineers to implement design into a system.Derive requirements, conceptualize, define, design & prototype systems engineering solutions.Work with systems architects and hardware engineers to develop, implement and test robust radio signal processing algorithms.Are We a Match?We're hiring for a broad range of roles and skills within the organization. Submit a resume if your experience aligns with any of the following: Familiarity with Digital Signal Processing, including all aspects of signal and system design and optimization.
