About the role
We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.
As a Radar Algorithms Engineer, you will be a part of our Radar Engineering team. The Radar Engineering team is comprised of a small cross functional team of motivated and experienced engineers; we’re responsible for designing, building, and testing cutting edge phased array radar systems from concept to certified product. We enjoy a culture of sharing information and collaboration. Phased array radar systems have historically been reserved for specialized applications, but we’re making this technology affordable to enable Detect and Avoid for widespread commercial applications. This role will focus on new advanced operational modes. The passion for revolutionary technology to make aviation safer motivates us to come in every day.
Responsibilities:
In your role as a Radar Algorithms Engineer, you will be responsible for analyzing phased array radar systems and developing radar processing algorithms to enable short, long range object tracking, and radar image generation. You will be involved in all phases of development from conception to production, designing your algorithms in Matlab, Python, and implementation in C++ on the target hardware. You will drive the system-level requirements of the phased array radar system, and drive trade studies collaborating with the cross functional teams. You will support the integration of the radar on the aircraft and support data collection and analysis during flight testing. You will be the owner of real-time processing of radar algorithms on an FPGA, DSP-based platform.
Basic Success CriteriaElectrical Engineering fundamentals, typically gained through a Bachelor’s Degree of Science or Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related discipline 8+ years of professional hands-on experience with Radar algorithms, radar system design, radar signal processing, integration, and test of a radar systemAbility to use C++, Matlab and Python (Python preferred) Ability to troubleshoot, find root cause, and resolve issuesPulsed and FMCW processing algorithm developmentExperience in airborne radar testing and developmentPreferred CriteriaAdvanced Degree of Science or Electrical EngineeringExperience developing system architectures and managing requirements for certification of AvionicsCreative problem solver that can bring multiple disciplines together, with the ability to assess risk and make design and development decisions without all available dataExperience integrating and troubleshooting various electronic sensors and componentsWeather radar experience, airborne or ground-basedRadar imaging, SAR processing and/or GMTI processingMust be willing to travel 15% of the time.
This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws.
All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export‑controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export‑controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
