About the role
- Build the core algorithms that enable Array Labs' formation‑flying radar satellite system and have foundational impact on a first‑of‑its‑kind system.
- Design, model, and implement novel digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms for next-generation radar systems.
- Focus on critical areas such as pulse compression, Doppler processing, interference mitigation, and advanced filtering techniques to maximize signal quality.
- Collaborate closely with RF, FPGA, and software engineers to ensure algorithms are robust, efficient, and implementable in a real-time environment.
- Develop high-fidelity simulations in MATLAB or Python to validate algorithm performance against theoretical limits and system requirements.
- Analyze and characterize system performance using both simulated and real-world data, paying close attention to metrics like Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR), resolution, and ambiguity functions.
- Stay current with the latest advancements in signal processing and radar technology to continuously innovate and improve capabilities.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience in digital signal processing.
- Demonstrated expertise in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) fundamentals (e.g., Fourier analysis, digital filter design, sampling theory, estimation theory).
- Proficiency in MATLAB or Python (with libraries like NumPy, SciPy) for algorithm development, modeling, and simulation.
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with a focus on signal processing. (preferred)
- A strong background in optimal and adaptive filter design (e.g., Wiener, Kalman), statistical signal processing.
- Familiarity with radar signal processing concepts (e.g., matched filtering, stretch processing, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging).
- Experience with implementing computationally intensive algorithms in C++ or on hardware platforms (FPGA, GPU).
- Experience with version control systems like Git and modern software development practices.
- A creative and analytical mindset, with a proven ability to solve complex, open-ended problems from first principles.
- To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
- U.S. Citizenship is required for all positions with a government clearance and certain other restricted positions.
