Systems Engineer - R&D

About Solo Pulse:

Solo Pulse is a DARPA-funded Georgia Tech spin-out and non-traditional defense contractor (NTDC). We leverage advanced wave theory rooted in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) to transform low-cost RF hardware into tactical-grade intelligence tools. Our product line includes SIGMA™ (Electronic Support), NOVA™ (SAR imaging), and ATHENA™ (AI orchestration), providing high-fidelity sensing at the tactical edge.

The Role:

We're looking for a R&D Systems Engineer to work directly on the development of advanced radar and sensor systems across multiple platforms, including drones and ground vehicles. This highly hands-on role spans hardware prototyping, mechanical design/build, and embedded software. You'll help turn concepts into field-ready radar systems, from low-level code and electronics integration through physical assembly, lab bring-up, and testing.

What you'll work on:

• Hardware prototyping, wiring, bring-up, and integration
>
• Collect, analyze, and distribute data to various engineering teams
>
• Mechanical design, fabrication, assembly, and system packaging
>
• Debugging across software, electronics, and physical hardware
>
• Supporting drone and sensing platform development from concept to test
>
• Embedded coding for sensor, control, and data acquisition systems
>

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or other technical field
>
• Strong interest in embedded systems, robotics, drones, or sensing platforms
>
• Experience with RF antennas, including RF link budgets, antenna design trades, signal chain analysis, and RF payload integration.
• Experience in at least some of the following: C/C++, Python, microcontrollers, electronics, networking, CAD, fabrication, or mechanical assembly
>
• Comfortable learning quickly and working across software and hardware boundaries
>
• Hands-on builder mindset with strong problem-solving ability
>
• Eager to work with cross-functional engineering teams and take meaningful ownership of project
>
