Key Responsibilities
Design and implement real-time embedded software supporting high-throughput radar and DSP pipelines.
Develop and optimize C++ components that interface directly with high-speed hardware and signal processing algorithms.
Collaborate with radar systems, firmware, and software teams to shape end-to-end architecture and data flow.
Perform algorithm validation and system-level performance analysis using both simulated and live radar data.
Contribute to signal processing stages including detection, tracking, filtering, and estimation.
Build automated test frameworks to verify correctness, latency, and throughput.
Document designs, interfaces, assumptions, and performance characteristics for internal and government stakeholders.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
Strong C++ development experience in real-time or embedded environments.
Background in digital signal processing and high-performance algorithm implementation.
Experience working with high-speed device interfaces and data movement (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, SerDes, DMA).
Solid understanding of real-time operating systems, multithreading, and low-latency system design.
Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across hardware, firmware, and algorithm teams.
Experience with radar, RF systems, or sensor fusion.
Familiarity with simulation tools, MATLAB, or Python for algorithm validation.
Exposure to FPGA/SoC-based systems and hardware/software co-design.
U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance.
Willingness to travel up to 10%.
