Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in radar systems engineering, with a focus on moving target detection and indication
  • Strong knowledge of MTI principles, including Doppler processing, clutter suppression, and space-time adaptive processing (STAP)
  • Experience with GMTI, AMTI, and/or moving target detection
  • Experience with bistatic and/or multistatic radar systems
  • Experience with military or defense radar systems

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary and meaningful equity. Full-time position with comprehensive benefits including:

  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance (including fully employer-paid medical plan)
  • Paid parental leave (12 weeks / 6 weeks)
  • 19 paid vacation days, 10 sick days, 11 company holidays
