About The Position

We're looking for a Senior DSP Engineer to design, implement, and validate radar signal processing algorithms in production C++. You'll work closely with the Head of RADLAB, R&D staff, and other engineers to turn research concepts into fast, tested, profiled, and reproducible code. This is a small lab doing novel work. You'll see your algorithms run on real hardware, real time, on real missions.

Requirements

• BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics or a related field.
• 8+ years implementing signal processing algorithms in C or C++.
• Strong applied math: comfortable reading derivations and designing and implementing numerical algorithms for computing the results.
• Experience validating algorithm implementations against analytical derivations, simulated ground truth, or measured data.
• Software engineering discipline: version control, testing, documentation, code review.
• Clear technical writing.
• U.S. Citizenship
• Ability to obtain and maintain a TS security clearance.

Nice To Haves

• Radar-specific DSP experience: adaptive beamforming, STAP, pulse compression, or CFAR.
• Modern C++ fluency (C++17/20, templates, concepts).
• Python for prototyping, analysis, and test automation.
• GPU-accelerated signal processing.
• FPGA experience. HLS (C++-based) is sufficient; RTL is not required. You'll have the opportunity to learn if you haven't done it.
• Familiarity with SDR platforms or radar hardware-in-the-loop environments.
• A PhD degree with a thesis in a radar or statistical signal processing topic.

Responsibilities

• Implement and validate radar signal processing algorithms, such as digital beamforming, signal detection, Doppler estimation, and digital filtering in modern C++.
• Own the reference processing chain: unit and integration tests, golden vector validation inside our CI/CD pipelines.
• Run simulation campaigns (Monte Carlo, sensitivity sweeps) and document results.
• Profile performance and identify numerical stability issues, bottlenecks, and optimization opportunities.
• Translate mathematical specifications into correct, maintainable, testable code, and push back when the math needs revisiting.
• Deploy your work onto RADLAB hardware and ensure algorithm designs are feasible under real-time constraints.
