Job description

Radar Signal Processing Engineer (Hybrid)

Venture-Backed Aerospace Startup

$90,000 - $180,000 + 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 Atlanta, GA and Huntsville, AL, 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) in Radar/RF 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.
