Job description

Overview

SoloPulse Corp is a dual‑use radar company committed to the relentless exploration of the frontiers of radar sensing technology. Located in Atlanta, GA, SoloPulse stands as a venture‑backed startup, diligently cultivating strategic collaborations to proactively address critical safety imperatives and emerging autonomy needs across both civilian and military domains.

SoloPulse is seeking a talented Radar Signal Processing Engineer to join our dynamic and innovative organization. In this role you will develop and implement advanced algorithms for radar systems contributing to the success of critical commercial defense projects. To excel, you must possess strong analytical skills, deep knowledge of radar signal processing techniques, and a drive to continuously improve and innovate.

Responsibilities

• Technical challenges cover a broad range of disciplines including antennas, the entire transmit and receive chain, radar system modeling, ground‑moving target identification, electronic warfare, maritime surveillance, image processing, and algorithm development for advanced radar image products and exploitation.
• Design, development, and analysis of radar system architectures.
• Design, implementation, and testing of algorithms for detection, discrimination, and tracking systems.
• Modeling and simulation of system designs to demonstrate performance metrics.
• Develop unique solutions and efficient implementations of signal‑processing algorithms for challenging mission applications.
• Use common industry signal‑processing tools such as MATLAB, Python, or C++ to analyze data and generate algorithms.
• Analyze system‑level signal propagation, RF system performance, requirements development, and review.
• Collaborate with a broad range of cross‑functional teams including hardware, mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership.

Qualifications

• Experience with spatial array processing, beamforming, and angle‑of‑arrival (AoA) algorithms.
• Experience with FMCW and automotive radar signal‑processing chains.
• Experience with MIMO arrays.
• Experience with adaptive and subspace estimation techniques such as MVDR, MUSIC, and STAP.
• Experience with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) signal‑processing algorithms such as backprojection, polar formatting, and range‑migration algorithm.
• BS in engineering, mathematics, physics, or another related technical field (at least 2+ years of experience).
• MS in engineering, mathematics, physics, or another related technical field (0–2+ years of experience).
• Experience in digital signal processing, radar signal processing, probability and statistics, and algorithm development.
• Proficiency in MATLAB and working knowledge of Python.
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance.
