Do you find it satisfying to architect a proposed application, then follow it all the way through to deployment? Do you also relish the thought of dipping your fingers in multiple smaller applications, giving you a wider breadth of experience than you would have elsewhere? Annapolis Micro Systems combines the work variety of a small company with the thrill of working on the most advanced algorithms and technologies. You will work on important, cutting-edge applications in electronic warfare, signals intelligence, radar, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other emerging fields. Our products and systems are deployed in dozens of high-profile programs that have an important bearing on national security and computing technology. Conceive, design, develop and test a wide range of complicated digital signal processing FPGA applications leveraging VHDL or our patented Open CoreFire Design Suite. Responsibilities include working with the Sales Team to win programs, working with customers to understand requirements, architecting a robust system, designing and implementing customer algorithms, testing implementations using our industry-leading FPGA products, and aiding with the integration of deployed systems. Join us and become part of the future of computing technology!
