Senior Software Engineer C++ - R&D

Solo Pulse Corp is a dual-use radar company committed to the relentless exploration of the frontiers of radar sensing technology. Located in Atlanta, GA, Solo Pulse stands as a venture-backed startup, diligently cultivating strategic collaborations to proactively address critical safety imperatives and emerging autonomy needs across both civilian and military domains. Our distinguished team encompasses accomplished engineers, seasoned advisors, and experienced startup veterans, collectively driven by an overarching mission to change the way the world sees.

Solo Pulse is hiring a Product Software/Embedded Engineer to build and ship robust software for vertically integrated units. You’ll own the reliability, observability, infrastructure implementation, and fault tolerance that determine how deployed units perform over time, with a focus on low-latency execution on real hardware. You’ll have real ownership of your work, the problems are challenging, and your teammates hold themselves to a high standard.

• Developing real-time software for radar, RF, and other high-throughput sensor systems, with a focus on turning research algorithms into reliable, deterministic implementations
• Translating DSP algorithms and mathematical concepts into efficient C++ and CUDA implementations that meet strict latency, throughput, and timing requirements
• Designing and implementing low-latency data processing pipelines that acquire, process, and deliver high-rate sensor data in real time
• Working closely with DSP and research engineers to understand algorithms, identify implementation constraints, and integrate them into complete real-time systems
• Designing software architectures for systems that combine multiple sensors, real-time processing, state estimation, and downstream outputs
• Profiling and optimizing C++ and CUDA code to improve latency, throughput, memory usage, and overall system performance
• Developing test harnesses, simulation environments, replay systems, and controlled data collection pipelines to validate algorithms and system behavior
• Developing software that can operate predictably under real-world resource constraints, including limited CPU, GPU, memory, bandwidth, and power
• Rapidly building experimental systems to answer technical questions and determine whether new concepts are viable

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 6+ years of demonstrated experience developing complex software systems
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python
• Demonstrated experience designing and implementing low-latency and deterministic real-time systems
• Strong understanding of performance-critical C++, including memory behavior, concurrency, synchronization, data movement, and resource management
• Experience translating algorithms or mathematical concepts into efficient software implementations
• Experience developing software for systems with significant performance, latency, or throughput requirements
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance; U.S. person required

• NVIDIA CUDA / GPU acceleration and performance optimization
• Experience implementing real-time signal processing algorithms
• Experience with SDRs, RF hardware, high-bandwidth sensors, or sensor fusion
• Experience building simulation, replay, hardware-in-the-loop, or automated test systems
• Experience taking research software from prototype through technical maturation and into a production engineering organization
