Day to Day:

Insight Global is seeking a SDR SME to join one of our largest DOD clients in Indianapolis. This project will be on the commercial side of the business, vs the DOD side. Our client currently engaged in the modernization of an existing highway tolling system. Two subsystems within this larger system contain outdated components that require replacement. The core of the re-engineered subsystems will utilize the Analog Devices 9361 RF Agile Transceiver.

While integrating the 9361, they are transitioning the legacy design to a Software Defined Radio (SDR) approach. Our client is seeking an expert to lead the design, integration, and testing phases of this project. They are needing an SDR SME to come in and push this project to completion.
