Senior Algorithm Engineer in Fareham

Senior Algorithm Engineer - Fareham, Hampshire We are working with an innovative, high-growth technology business specialising in advanced semiconductor solutions and next-generation touch technologies. Due to continued growth, they are looking for an experienced Senior Algorithm Engineer to take technical ownership of algorithm development for RISC-V-based capacitive touch controllers. This is an opportunity to work across sensor physics, mixed-signal electronics and digital signal processing (DSP), developing solutions to complex real-world sensing, noise and interference challenges. The Role - Senior Algorithm Engineer - Fareham, Hampshire You will lead algorithm development from initial problem definition and modelling through to experimentation, optimisation and validation on real hardware. Key responsibilities include: * Owning algorithm development projects from concept through to hardware validation. * Designing and optimising filtering, calibration and noise-rejection algorithms. * Developing models of capacitive sensors, analogue front ends (AFE), ADCs and digital signal chains. * Planning and leading measurements using sensor prototypes and IC evaluation platforms. * Investigating differences between simulation models and real-world hardware performance. * Evaluating fixed-point behaviour, numerical precision, memory, processing and latency constraints. * Collaborating with system architects, IC design, firmware and validation teams. * Documenting findings, presenting technical recommendations and mentoring junior colleagues. About You - Senior Algorithm Engineer - Fareham, Hampshire We are looking for someone with approximately 5–15 years of relevant industry experience across DSP, algorithm development, sensors or mixed-signal engineering. You will ideally have: * A degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Signal Processing or a related discipline. * Strong experience designing, analysing and optimising signal-processing algorithms. * A good understanding of sampling, filtering, noise and time/frequency-domain analysis. * Practical knowledge of sensors, analogue/mixed-signal systems and ADCs. * Strong proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for modelling, simulation and data analysis. * Experience validating models and algorithms against experimental data and real hardware. * The ability to independently solve complex technical problems and work across multidisciplinary teams. * Flexibility to travel when required. Desirable Experience - Senior Algorithm Engineer - Fareham, Hampshire * Capacitive touch, HMI, display-coupled sensing or similar sensor technologies. * Fixed-point algorithms, embedded C/C++ or DSP implementation on microcontrollers. * RISC-V architectures, ASIC development, SPICE, Verilog or FPGA prototyping. * Sensor physics or electromagnetic simulation tools such as Ansys/HFSS. * Applied machine learning or statistical estimation for sensor measurements.
