Question DSP kind of job

[andomon]

Hey,
For those Digital signal processing fans - which Hardware job has elements of DSP development?

I am really into the hardware implementation of DSP and random signals algorithms in my college studies, for example the implementation of FFT, Yule-walker, FIR filters with polyphase decomposition, periodogram estimator, etc etc etc..

Which careers that is not a research career, but rather an engineering (bachelor's) one would consist of implementing such algorithms?
for example - ASIC\FPGA digital design, verification, RF validation, firmware design, etc.

if someone can share from his experience, give an example or refer to a place to read about it it would be great!

Thanks a lot.
