As the Senior Signal Processing Engineer, your main responsibilities will be:

• Work with a small sub-team to advance our RF signal detection, extraction and geolocation algorithms for execution, particularly for radar.
• Understand and improve the full geolocation stack (RF collection, T/FDOA measurement generation, geolocation, and more) to help drive new research and innovations in geolocation output.
• Develop high-performance, low-latency signal processing software in Python and C++
• Collaborate across signal processing, data engineering, data science, space and product teams to develop and deploy production level processing and geolocation pipelines.

Your skills and qualifications:

Essential education and experience:

• B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Physics, or related discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in digital signal processing for RF applications.
• Proficiency in Python and C++, including performance optimization and algorithmic development.
• Strong understanding of RF physics, radar systems, and signal measurement methods (e.g. TDOA/FDOA, AoA).
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset.

Desirable:

• M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or comparable
• Hands-on experience building RF-based applications including communication and/or measurement systems (such as time-of-arrival and frequency-of-arrival)
• Deep knowledge of radar signal processing and deinterleaving techniques
• Comfortable deploying software into a Docker and/or Kubernetes environment
