CAREERS

At Jump Trading, you will find a group of driven, dynamic people focused on researching, interpreting, and capitalizing on the global trading markets. Headquartered in Chicago since 1999, Jump has expanded over the years as a global operation with offices in Chicago, New York, Austin, London, Singapore, Shanghai, Amsterdam, Bristol, Sydney, Hong Kong, Paris, and Gurugram.

Jump is looking for a Digital Modem Engineer to join our world class wireless team. In this role, you will you will lead the design and development of custom, low-latency modem architectures for our point-to-point wireless networks around the globe.

What You'll Do:

• Design, simulate, and realize innovative physical layer wireless communication algorithms for low latency applications
• Implement modem/system models and perform detailed performance investigations to allow performance sign-off and enable RTL development
• Collaborate with digital designers and firmware developers to realize algorithms with power and area efficient implementation

Skills You’ll Need:

• At least 5 years of experience in the design, build, and deployment of digital modem systems
• Deep knowledge and demonstrated experience in digital modem design, including
• Transmit and receive pulse shaping digital filter design
• Symbol rate throughput, latency, and spectral occupancy analysis and optimization
• Carrier/symbol clock offset tracking and recovery
• Adaptive equalization using blind, training-based, and decision-directed algorithms
• Channel modeling and simulation
• Fixed point design, simulation and analysis
• Experience with Python, C/C++ and/or Matlab for algorithm development, modeling (floating-point and fixed-point) and link-level simulation
• MS/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent experience
• Reliable and predictable availability

Bonus Points:

• Experience in logic design for wireless modem FPGAs, ASICs or custom data-path components for DSP applications (sequential and arithmetic components)
• Familiarity with Radio Frequency (RF) and microwave components: oscillators, mixers, attenuators, amplifiers, couplers, isolators, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) layout
