Sr. Embedded Software Engineer

Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Radar Systems

Location: Burlington, MA

Hybrid: 3 days per week onsite

Salary: $150,000 - $200,000

Alexander Technology Group is partnering with a cutting‑edge defense and sensing technology company to identify a Senior Embedded Software Engineer. If you meet the qualifications, please reach out to Chris McMillan at with an updated resume.

You will join a multidisciplinary radar engineering team responsible for developing the embedded software and DSP algorithms that power high‑speed sensing systems. This is a hands‑on role combining real‑time C++ development, signal processing, system integration, and performance analysis in a mission‑critical environment.

• Design and implement real‑time embedded software supporting high‑throughput radar and DSP pipelines.
• Develop and optimize C++ components that interface directly with high‑speed hardware and signal processing algorithms.
• Collaborate with radar systems, firmware, and software teams to shape end‑to‑end architecture and data flow.
• Perform algorithm validation and system‑level performance analysis using both simulated and live radar data.
• Contribute to signal processing stages including detection, tracking, filtering, and estimation.
• Build automated test frameworks to verify correctness, latency, and throughput.
• Document designs, interfaces, assumptions, samot performance characteristics for internal and government stakeholders.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• Strong C++ development experience in real‑time or embedded environments.
• Background in digital signal processing and high-performance algorithm implementation.
• Experience working with high‑speed Carlos interfaces and data movement (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, Ser Des, DMA). Andy
• Solid understanding of real‑time operating systems, multithreading, and low‑latency system design.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate across hardware, firmware, and algorithm teams.
• Experience with radar, RF systems, or sensor fusion.
• Fsalt&z-base familiarities with simulation tools, MATLAB, or Python for algorithm validation.
• Exposure to FPGA/SoC-based systems and hardware/software co-design.
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance.
• Willingness to travel up to 10%.
