Digital Signal Processing Recruitment · Phoenix, Chandler and Tempe
Specialist recruitment for sampling, filtering, transforms, numerical methods and real-time signal processing. Led by an engineer who understands the engineering behind the hire.
RunTime clarifies the engineering requirements, searches for relevant candidates, assesses their technical experience and delivers a focused shortlist for an individual role or defined search.
Discuss a specialist hireLance can work inside your hiring operation, collaborating with engineering managers and using your ATS and company email where agreed. This recruitment delivery model can support wider engineering hiring alongside digital signal processing roles.

Algorithm development and deployment are different responsibilities. A role may require modelling, fixed-point implementation, processor optimization or FPGA integration in a specific combination.
Sample-rate decisions, FIR and IIR filters and multirate systems.
FFT-based processing, spectral methods and numerical algorithms.
Fixed point, quantisation, stability and finite-precision effects.
DSPs, MCUs, SIMD processors, GPUs or FPGA-based pipelines.
For Phoenix employers
We clarify signal characteristics, latency and throughput, algorithm maturity, numerical constraints, target hardware and validation method.
Candidate discussions connect mathematical choices to real-time implementation, including fixed-point effects, optimization, test vectors and measured system performance.
RunTime searches and directly approaches engineers whose experience aligns with the brief, then presents a focused shortlist with evidence, gaps and practical details.
Founder-led technical recruitment
Before recruitment, Lance Harvie developed electronics and firmware for industrial equipment, gaming systems and telecommunications products. He later built decades of specialist recruitment experience.
That background informs the questions RunTime asks about ownership, engineering decisions and fault investigation. It does not replace the client’s detailed technical interview.
RunTime Recruitment has operated since 2019.

Phoenix engineering context
Relevant local themes: microelectronics, semiconductors, electronics manufacturing, integrated systems.
Arizona State University documents a long-running microelectronics and semiconductor engineering focus in the Phoenix metropolitan area. The region’s engineering context includes device, packaging, manufacturing and electronic-system concerns.
For recruitment, those adjacent capabilities must still be separated: circuit design, embedded product development, validation and manufacturing support are different briefs.

For Digital Signal Processing engineers
Share your resume and the type of work you want to do. Include your preferred working arrangement, location or relocation constraints, and the parts of the development lifecycle you have personally owned.
Submit your resumeFrequently asked questions
Only when the deployment target requires it. DSP algorithm design, processor implementation and FPGA pipelines are assessed as distinct capabilities with possible overlap.
Yes. RunTime documents the employer’s actual working arrangement and presents it clearly. Onsite, hybrid and remote preferences are not treated as interchangeable.
Relocation can form part of the search where the employer is open to it. Interest, timing and practical constraints are confirmed with each candidate. No relocation or work-authorisation outcome is assumed.
It is designed for a wider or recurring hiring plan where recruitment continuity matters. It is a delivery model, not a reference to embedded software engineering, and its agreed scope can support digital signal processing and related engineering roles.
