Nice To Haves

• An understanding of complex radar phenomenology, detection, and characterization.
• Experience programming in C/C++
• Comfortable with public speaking and/or customer presentations
• Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter. We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”

Responsibilities

• Develop cutting edge radar signal processing and analysis algorithms for National Defense
