Required Skills
Job Description
We are building a compact, high-performance radar system designed to detect and track small UAVs in complex environments, including low altitude, cluttered, and urban terrain.
As a Radar Systems Engineer, you will take ownership of radar architecture, signal processing design, and real-world validation — from theoretical modeling to field deployment. You will work across RF, embedded, and FPGA domains to develop robust detection and tracking capabilities for low-RCS targets in challenging operational conditions.
This role offers the opportunity to design radar systems at the architecture level and rapidly transition from simulation to live field testing.
Key Responsibilities
• Design and define radar system architecture (FMCW, Pulse-Doppler, or MIMO)
• Develop range-Doppler processing pipelines
• Implement CFAR algorithms, clutter suppression techniques, and tracking filters
• Extract and analyze micro-Doppler signatures for UAV classification
• Optimize detection performance for low-RCS targets (<0.1 m²)
• Support RF front-end and antenna design decisions
• Deploy radar prototypes and conduct live detection trials
• Contribute to system validation, performance analysis, and iterative improvements
Requirements:
• Strong foundation in radar theory and signal processing
• Experience working with FMCW or pulse radar systems
• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for modeling and algorithm development
• Solid understanding of Doppler processing, RCS, SNR, and clutter modeling
• Ability to work across RF, embedded, and FPGA teams in a multidisciplinary environment
• Hands-on mindset with the ability to move from simulation to real-world validation
Skills & Abilities Required
• Radar architecture design (FMCW, Pulse-Doppler, MIMO)
• Range-Doppler processing
• CFAR and detection algorithms
• Clutter suppression and tracking filters
• Micro-Doppler analysis and target classification
• Signal processing and performance optimization
• Cross-functional collaboration (RF, FPGA, embedded systems)
Additional assets:
• Experience with MIMO radar or beamforming
• Background in automotive radar systems (12 / 24 / 77 GHz)
• Experience in micro-Doppler-based target classification
