Senior Radar Engineer

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design, simulation, and prototyping of advanced radar signal processing and control algorithms for FMCW and pulsed radar systems.
• Develop MATLAB/Python simulations to design, test, and evaluate algorithms for radar performance, clutter suppression, and interference mitigation.
• Analyze radar data to characterize performance, identify failure modes, and derive insights for system-level improvements.
• Collaborate with Electromagnetics, Electrical Engineering, Software, and Data teams to ensure algorithms align with hardware and environmental constraints.
• Support the bring-up and verification of next-generation radar hardware and signal processing chains.
• Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical mentorship within the algorithms team.

Requirements

• BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Math, or a related field with 5+ years of experience (or MS with 4+ years, or PhD with 2+ years).
• Deep understanding of radar systems, including waveform design, signal processing, and system-level architecture.
• Strong background in radar signal processing for FMCW and/or pulsed LFM high gain, analog beam-forming systems.
• Strong proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for simulation and algorithm prototyping.
• Practical understanding of electromagnetics, antennas, wave propagation, and classical mechanics.
• Demonstrated ability to take a problem statement through to an algorithm prototype.
• Experience working collaboratively across hardware and software disciplines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong mathematical foundation in statistical signal processing, estimation theory, and linear algebra.
• Experience with multi-sensor/multi-radar coexistence, frequency management, or cognitive radar.
• Experience with sensor fusion, tracking, or state estimation (e.g., Kalman filtering).
• Familiarity with object detection and classification using radar data.
• Experience with embedded systems, real-time signal processing, or RTOS environments.
• Exposure to IMU/GPS integration or motion compensation techniques.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation including Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
• Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums.
• Flexible PTO and 401(k) match.
• Mental health coverage and various wellness programs.
• Comprehensive insurance including Life, Disability, and Pet Insurance.
