Benefits offered by this job

Hybrid work schedule (9/80)

Early-stage equity

Job summary

Attis is seeking a Radar Signal Processing & Algorithm Engineer to join our hybrid team in Huntsville (with activities in Atlanta). You will design and implement radar algorithms using MATLAB and Python, and evaluate performance on real-world data.

Join a high-impact, early-stage aerospace startup where you own the algorithms from concept to field-testing, working with raw I/Q data and SWaP considerations to support flight missions.

Qualifications

• 2+ years (Mid) or 5+ years (Senior/Principal) in Radar/RF/DSP.
• Expert proficiency in MATLAB for modeling and simulation.
• Must be a US Person (Citizen/Green Card) and eligible for TS Clearance.
• Proven experience working with raw, unprocessed RF datasets.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement advanced radar algorithms using MATLAB and Python.
• Model and simulate complex radar system architectures from scratch.
• Work with raw ADC and I/Q data (phase/amplitude) for detection and discrimination.
• Analyze signal propagation, RF performance, and system-level requirements.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to port algorithms to real-time systems.
• Factor in size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints for fieldable products.

Job description

Radar Signal Processing & Algorithm Engineer (Hybrid)

Venture-Backed Aerospace Startup

$90,000 - $220,000 + Early-Stage Equity

The Company

• My client is a venture-backed, early-stage startup revolutionizing \"Software-Defined Radar.\"


• They build high-resolution digital beamforming technology for UAVs and aircraft.


• Based in Huntsville, AL and Atlanta, GA,they are a tight-knit team of 16.


• A dual-use company solving critical safety needs for both defense and civilian autonomy.

Why Join?

• Join an elite team where you own the algorithm from a blank page to field-testing.


• Move away from \"black box\" engineering and work directly with raw I/Q data.


• Flexible \"9/80\" schedule: The company is closed every other Friday.


• High-growth environment with no red tape, your work directly impacts flight missions.

The Role

A technical, hands-on role where you will:

• Design and implement advanced radar algorithms using MATLAB and Python.


• Model and simulate complex radar system architectures from scratch.


• Work with raw ADC and I/Q data (phase/amplitude) for detection and discrimination.


• Analyze signal propagation, RF performance, and system-level requirements.


• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to port algorithms to real-time systems.


• Factor in size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints for fieldable products.

The Essential Requirements

• 2+ years (Mid) or 5+ years (Senior/Principal) in Radar/RF/Digital Signal Processing.


• Expert proficiency in MATLAB for modeling and simulation.


• Must be a US Person (Citizen/Green Card) and eligible for TS Clearance.


• Proven experience working with raw, unprocessed RF datasets.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Experience with SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) algorithms.


• Exposure to MIMO arrays, beamforming, or STAP.


• A desire to work in an agile, \"get it done\" startup culture.
