About the role

  • Design and implement digital beamforming architectures for phased array systems, including time-domain and frequency-domain beamformers
  • Develop and optimize calibration algorithms for phased arrays, addressing amplitude/phase errors, mutual coupling effects, and environmental variations
  • Design beam steering algorithms and implement null-steering capabilities for interference mitigation
  • Create MATLAB/Python models for beamforming performance prediction and calibration strategy validation
  • Oversee the translation of beamforming algorithms to FPGA/ASIC implementations, working closely with digital designers on fixed-point optimization
  • Develop test procedures and automated calibration routines for array characterization and production testing
  • Analyze beamformer performance using measured data, identifying and resolving performance anomalies
  • Support RF and antenna engineers in the characterization of array patterns and validation of beamforming capabilities

Requirements

  • B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, or related field with 7+ years of experience in phased array systems, beamforming, or radar/communications
  • Deep understanding of array signal processing theory including beamforming, DOA estimation, and adaptive algorithms
  • Experience with phased array calibration techniques and measurement systems
  • Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for algorithm development and system modeling
  • Understanding of digital beamforming implementations (FPGA/ASIC architectures)
  • Familiarity with RF measurement equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzers, antenna test ranges)
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, vision, basic and supplemental life insurance
  • Paid parental leave
  • Short and long-term disability
  • 401(k) with a company match of up to 5%
  • Education Support Program
  • Up to four (4) weeks paid time off based on weekly scheduled hours
