About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel

DZYNE Technologies was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with World View, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next‑generation U.S. defense platform integrating long‑endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter‑UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.

While DZYNE is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as DZYNE as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross‑posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.

What does this mean for candidates?

You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology.
You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.

Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.

If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.

Position Title: DSP/ FPGA Engineer

Location: Portland, OR

Work Arrangement: On-site

Position Summary:

DZYNE has an immediate need for a talented Engineer capable of helping design, build, and bring to market a self-contained SDR system. As the DPS / FPGA engineer, you will play a central role in defining and building this next evolution. You’ll take ownership of the FPGA-level DSP pipeline, work across hardware and software boundaries, and help turn a research-grade design into a reliable, manufacturable, and high-performance embedded radio system. You will architect, implement, and optimize the FPGA and embedded DSP subsystems, working closely with our software, electrical and mechanical engineers to take a laboratory prototype and turn it into a production ready device.

Required Duties and Responsibilities:

Design, implement, and optimize FPGA-based DSP pipelines for SDR applications
Modify and extend existing bladeRF FPGA images (Cyclone) or similar FPGA-based SDR platforms
Develop deterministic, real-time signal-processing modules (filters, mixers, decimators, burst detectors, timing cores, modulators, demodulators)
Collaborate with embedded Linux engineers integrating FPGA subsystems into a coherent SDR architecture
Interface FPGA logic with CPU systems via DMA, streaming interfaces, USB3, or AXI-style equivalents
Contribute to architecture decisions for next-generation hardware (RF front end, FPGA partitioning, FPGA ↔ CPU interfaces)
Work with RF engineers when integrating new front-end components or improving timing stability
Participate in lab bring-up, validation, and field testing
Document FPGA modules, APIs, and register maps for internal and external use

Required Skills/Qualifications:

3+ years’ experience in a related field such as Aerospace, Defense or Telecommunications
Strong hands-on experience with FPGA development (Verilog or VHDL)
Demonstrated experience with DSP algorithms implemented in FPGA logic
Familiarity with SDR platforms (bladeRF, USRP, LimeSDR, or similar)
Solid understanding of deterministic real-time digital signal processing
Experience with high-throughput data movement (DMA engines, streaming interfaces)
Ability to translate software-based algorithms (GNU Radio, C/C++, Python) into hardware-accelerated implementations
Comfortable working with embedded Linux environments and low-level drivers
Proficiency with lab tools (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes)

Preferred Skills/Qualifications:

Experience with Cyclone or Zynq-class SoC FPGAs
Familiarity with USB 3.0 data pipelines or PCIe interfaces
Background in PHY and MAC design with custom protocols
Experience designing highly parallelized DSP pipelines
Experience designing register maps and FPGA ↔ CPU control interfaces
Understanding of RF front-end components (PLL, mixers, filters, LNAs)
Knowledge of Yocto/Buildroot or similar embedded Linux build systems

Education:

Bachelor's degree in STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering or Math) or an equivalent combination of education and experience

Clearance Level Required: No Security Clearance is required, but it is highly desired

Export Control / ITAR Requirement:

This position requires access to information and technology subject to U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). As a result, employment is contingent upon meeting applicable export control eligibility requirements and compliance obligations.

Work Authorization Requirement:
Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis without the need for current or future employment visa sponsorship.

Travel Required: Not required for daily activities, but probable travel once per quarter

Working Conditions:

The diversity of work conditions may range from an environment where there is little or no physical discomfort, such as a general office environment, to warehouse and other facilities.

Physical Demands:

The physical demands described here are representative of those that must be met by an employee to successfully perform the essential functions of this job:

Must have the ability to stoop, stand, climb, occasionally lift a minimum of 25 lbs.
Involves movement between departments, floors, and worksites to facilitate work.

Salary: $110,000 -150,000 annually

Salary depends on relevant work experience, education, training, essential skills, and/or other factors such as specialized or high-demand professions. In addition to the annual salary, the position will be eligible for an annual bonus. The pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of salary or annual bonus.

Benefits:

Our benefits are DZYNE’ed for your overall health and financial wellness. DZYNE offers a comprehensive healthcare benefits package. Base dental, vision, life, accident, disability, and other core benefits are fully covered by DZYNE. DZYNE provides paid time off and paid holidays. Additionally, DZYNE offers a 401 (k) plan with an employer match and immediate vesting.
