For increasing our R&D Digital Signal Processing & Control Team in Florence, we are looking for a DSP & Control Engineer.

Role:

• Design and develop of signal processing filters and algorithms.
• Design and develop of feedback control systems.
• Existing product maintenance.
• Interact and collaborate with the other team members and the other colleagues.
  

• Educational background in scientific field
• Master’s degree/Bachelor’s degree in Electronic Engineering
• Digital Signal Processing Theory knowledge: the candidate should be familiar with signal processing concepts such as Z-transform, FFT, design methods for linear and minimum phase FIR filters (such as window method or LQ design method), design methods for IIR/biquad filters, digital frequency analysis, processing algorithms such as Xover, equalization, dynamic EQ, multiband limiter, adaptive filters (such as LMS (Gradient method) for linear and non-linear cases), RLS (Resursive Least Sqare)
• Automatic Control Theory knowledge: the candidate should be familiar with concepts of Automatic Control Theory such as: S-transform (Laplace transform), eigenvalues of a dynamical system, stability observability and controllability of a dynamical system, Sampled Data Control Systems , design of state observers (e.g. Luenberger observer), design of feedback controllers (such as: Direct Synthesis Techniques, PID, optimal LQ Control, feedback linearization, constrained predictive control).
• C language and GIT (source code review systems) knowledge: this knowledge is necessary for the implementation of control and filtering algorithms in our products.
• Ability to meet deadline and adapt to changing priorities and strong problem solving skills
• Matlab/SPICE/Lt-Spice or other electronics simulation tools
• Ability to write and speak in English.

Nice to have:

• Passion for music / passion for audio
• Knowledge of acoustic and electro acoustic stuff
• Knowledge of finite elements simulation tool
• Knowledge of C programming language
• Passion for mechanics and mechatronics stuff
