About the job Senior Radar Algorithm Engineer

Why Castelion, Why Now

Castelionis moving incredibly fast to develop and deliver advanced defense systems at a time when execution matters more than ever. We believe focus and technical excellence are decisive advantages - and we are building a team that can deliver real capability, not just concepts.

This is a rare opportunity to join at an early stage, where your work will directly shape critical systems, influence major technical decisions, and have immediate, real-world impact.

Senior Radar Algorithm Engineer

As a Senior Radar Algorithm Engineer, you will develop and deploy advanced algorithms for air-to-air radar systems operating in contested, modern electronic warfare environments. This role goes beyond theory - you will own the full lifecycle from algorithm design through production-ready implementation, validation, and integration into real hardware systems.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end development of air-to-air radar algorithms-from concept through production-ensuring performance, affordability, testability, and scalability
• Design, implement, and validate radar mode logic in Python or Rust, delivering robust performance in modern electronic warfare environments
• Develop and execute verification and validation plans across simulation, chamber testing, captive flight, and live-fire scenarios, including calibration considerations
• Operate within a disciplined software engineering environment, leveraging version control, code reviews, CI/CD, and testing frameworks

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical field
• Direct experience with air-to-air radar systems and associated algorithms
• Strong background in signal processing, detection, tracking, and radar modes
• Proficiency in Python and/or Rust, with experience writing production-quality code
• Ability to operate in a disciplined software engineering environment (e.g., Git, code reviews, testing, issue tracking tools like Jira)

Preferred Skills and Experience

• Experience working in electronic warfare or contested RF environments
• Background in taking algorithms from concept through deployment on hardware systems
• Familiarity with radar system calibration, integration, and test across multiple environments
• Experience building scalable, maintainable software architectures for real-time systems

Additional Requirements

• Ability to put in extended hours, including evenings and weekends, when required to meet aggressive timelines
• This role is based in Allen, TX and requires full-time onsite presence
