Senior RF Hardware Engineer, Radar Systems

Responsibilities

• Lead and contribute to the development of radar hardware across RF/microwave design, low‑noise analog circuitry, power supplies, FPGA hardware, and embedded GPU implementations.
• Evaluate tradeoffs between hardware design and signal processing algorithms (detection, tracking, calibration, interference mitigation) to optimize system performance.
• Assess feasibility of system‑level requirements within technical, cost, and schedule constraints.
• Define and implement hardware and software requirements to meet radar performance objectives.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with systems, electrical, software, and mechanical engineering teams from concept through production.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex hardware issues; drive corrective actions and design improvements.
• Partner with product teams to ensure radar performance aligns with application requirements.

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• At least 4–8+ years of experience in product‑level RF hardware development.
• Core technical expertise (priority areas): microwave design (waveform generation, phased arrays and calibration, amplifiers, LNAs, PAs, filtering), schematic capture and PCB design, data analysis using Python, MATLAB or similar tools.

• Antenna design experience.
• RF/radar hardware architecture experience.
