Job description
- As a Senior Radar Algorithm Engineer, you will develop and deploy advanced algorithms for air-to-air radar systems operating in contested, modern electronic warfare environments. This role goes beyond theory - you will own the full lifecycle from algorithm design through production-ready implementation, validation, and integration into real hardware systems.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end development of air-to-air radar algorithms—from concept through production—ensuring performance, affordability, testability, and scalability
- Design, implement, and validate radar mode logic in Python or Rust, delivering robust performance in modern electronic warfare environments
- Develop and execute verification and validation plans across simulation, chamber testing, captive flight, and live-fire scenarios, including calibration considerations
- Operate within a disciplined software engineering environment, leveraging version control, code reviews, CI/CD, and testing frameworks
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field
- Direct experience with air-to-air radar systems and associated algorithms
- Strong background in signal processing, detection, tracking, and radar modes
- Proficiency in Python and/or Rust, with experience writing production-quality code
- Ability to operate in a disciplined software engineering environment (e.g., Git, code reviews, testing, issue tracking tools like Jira)
- Experience working in electronic warfare or contested RF environments
- Background in taking algorithms from concept through deployment on hardware systems
- Familiarity with radar system calibration, integration, and test across multiple environments
- Experience building scalable, maintainable software architectures for real-time systems
