Senior Systems Engineer - Signal Processing, Algorithms and Characterization - Austin, TX, United States

Originally posted 2 July 2026 by the employer — open 70 days.

This role focuses on breakthrough analog technology that delivers 100× the performance of traditional digital systems.

About the role

This role involves the design, development, and characterization of algorithms and DSP blocks for Mythic's analog compute-in-memory technology. The Systems Engineer operates in the realm of mitigating analog impairments like ADC/DAC non-linearity and weight-noise that impact the accuracy of vector-multiply operations.

What you'll do

• Own various aspects of algorithms and DSP blocks that optimize the performance of analog compute-in-memory technology from concept to customer deployment, including calibration loops, non-linearity compensation, offset-correction, and estimation of residual-errors.
• Work with model-training, compiler, and firmware teams to productize these algorithms.
• Write and modify firmware to productize/debug algorithms.
• Continually improve the fidelity of modeling and simulation environments to better predict silicon performance.
• Develop Python frameworks for data collection, error-analysis, and quantify the impact of analog impairments on neural-network accuracy.
• Perform silicon bring-up, characterization, and performance-optimization.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or a related field.
• At least 5 years experience in production DSP or RF baseband engineering (or < 3 years if Ph.D or M.S.).
• Strong familiarity with production Python coding, including object oriented and/or functional programming.
• Strong familiarity with core DSP concepts, including frequency domain analysis, filtering, statistical signal processing and estimation theory.
• Track record of shipping silicon with DSP or RF/Analog sub-systems.
• Understanding of linear algebra concepts, including matrix math and linear regression.

Nice to have

• MS/PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics or related field.
• Experience with RF calibration and silicon-bringup in the high-speed communication space.
• Strong familiarity with NumPy/SciPy (or experience with Numpy and strong familiarity with MATLAB for DSP).
