Early-stage equity

Job summary

Attis is seeking a Radar Signal Processing Engineer for a hybrid role based in Huntsville, AL with collaboration with our aerospace startup partner. You will design and implement radar algorithms using MATLAB and Python, model complex architectures, and work with raw I/Q data to support detection and discrimination.

You'll partner with hardware and software teams, address SWaP constraints, and iterate from algorithm development to field-testing in a fast-paced, equity-friendly startup

Qualifications

• 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.

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 SWaP constraints for fieldable products.

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 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) 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.
