Senior Radar Engineer: Pioneering Radar Sensing & Perception

Factorial; Delft; Hybrid; EUR 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Factorial is seeking a Senior Radar Engineer to advance our radar sensing capabilities from hardware to perception software. You will work across the entire radar pipeline, bridging raw electromagnetics to AI-driven perception for aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

You will design and optimize algorithms for the full radar stack, tune detectors, calibrate hardware, and integrate radar data into a multi-sensor fusion system, with real-world validation on field rigs.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of professional experience in radar engineering or a related perception domain.
• Deep, practical understanding of radar principles and working with raw radar data (ADC maps).
• Experience with classical radar signal processing and modern perception methods (detection, tracking).
• Proficiency in C++ and Python (and/or MATLAB) for algorithm development.
• Must hold a valid EU/NATO passport.

Responsibilities

• End-to-End Radar Pipeline: Design and optimize algorithms across the full radar stack, spanning classical signal processing and AI-driven perception.
• Perception: Develop and tune CFAR detectors, track-before-detect, clutter rejection, ego-motion estimation, and integrate into ML models.
• Hardware Configuration: Tune radar hardware, chirp design, waveforms, range/resolution, beamforming, interference mitigation.
• Sensor Fusion Integration: Work with software team to integrate radar data into the multi-sensor fusion stack.
• Validation: Real-world testing, calibration, and performance validation using anechoic chambers and field rigs.
