About Us
Blackline is a technology design and build firm operating in both the commercial and government secure systems market. All of Blackline’s turn-key solutions are manufactured on-site – from initial concept and specification to design and production. Our hardware systems run the gamut from hand-held devices to networking devices to large-scale robot control systems, and run on everything from cell-phones to back-end servers. These systems are built around a core of solid communications and secure data transmission expertise, and our in-house expertise in digital signal processing.
Blackline has an extensive portfolio of successful hardware designs and products employing:
- Design for low EMF, thermal emissions, low magnetic signature and low detectability
- High-density, high layer-count, space-constrained mixed-signal design (15+layers, blind/buried vias, flexible, stacked)
- High-speed, multi-processor (RISC, DSP, etc.) motherboard design
- High-speed design & layout: clock synthesis, PCIe, SATA, Gigabit Ethernet, fiber diode, SFP, etc.
- Communication interfaces: Ethernet, T1, E1, POTS, DOCSIS, xDSL, etc.
- High-quality, low-noise power, audio, video and RF design (0 to 7 GHz).
- Battery-operated devices (Pb acid, Lion, LiFo, LiP)
We maintain a dedicated group of systems software developers skilled in a wide variety of operating systems and software development tools. This group undertakes software-only projects as well as bonded system/embedded projects, like robotic controls and consoles, secure web-based network/system delivery, and management tools. Blackline also maintains an inventory of tested DSP infrastructure and algorithms available for projects, including audio codecs, video codecs, filters, modems, and signal activity detectors.
Careers at Blackline
Here at Blackline, we strive to provide a welcoming, innovative, and rewarding workplace. With driven, knowledgeable leadership and a collaborative approach to projects, there are plenty of opportunities for personal and professional development. We also offer competitive salaries and benefits packages, as well as flexible hours and time-off policies.
Our primary focus is the design and build of hardware and software for elegant (and sometimes quirky) systems that are uniquely tailored to our customer’s needs. Most of our systems involve some sort of communications component like mobile, Wi-Fi, or more traditional high-speed networks. They also involve software from the board level all the way up to WAMP-based GUIs and dedicated multiplatform mobile or desktop apps. It's exciting work, but it can be very demanding.
We are always looking for people who are confident in their abilities, and with good team-working skills. As some of our work involves supplying tools to keep Canada safe, we require all of our candidates to be able to successfully obtain security clearance – this in mandatory.
