About The Position

CHAOS Industries is seeking a Radar Signal Processing Engineer to support the Systems Engineering design and development of cutting-edge radar capabilities. This role involves designing and developing advanced radar signal processing algorithms for target detection, tracking, and classification, and leading the development of new radar capabilities with minimal guidance. The engineer will optimize algorithms for real-time performance and resource constraints, implement them in software (C++, Python, MATLAB) and/or hardware (FPGAs, DSPs), and analyze radar data to evaluate system performance and identify areas for improvement. Responsibilities also include developing and maintaining system simulations and models, designing and developing radar modes, contributing to system requirements and specifications, modeling and simulating radar systems and signal processing chains, planning and leading field tests, documenting and presenting technical findings, and mentoring junior engineers. The position requires full-time onsite work at our office in Hawthorne, CA.
