Chaos Industries Staff RF Signal Processing Engineer developing advanced DSP algorithms for electromagnetic warfare products. Focuses on software integration, algorithm development, and field demonstrations of radar sensing systems.
Responsibilities
We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Senior RF Signal Processing Software Engineer to contribute to the successful development of our electromagnetic warfare product line. This role is critical to transforming our radar systems into sensing systems that detect, classify, and geolocate all RF emissions in the environment using advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms. The Senior Engineer will contribute to the Spectrum Sensing Team in the development of algorithms, modeling, software integration, and the execution of field demonstrations of the technology. They will collaborate closely with Business Development (BD), Production, and other Engineering teams.
As a key contributor to the Spectrum Sensing Team, the Senior Engineer will play an integral role in developing and redefining the passive radar system into a distributed spectrum sensing system, with a focus on software and algorithm development. The day-to-day will be diverse, engaging, and intellectually stimulating, with a direct impact on pushing the boundaries of sensing technology and application. Key responsibilities include:
Develop, implement, and refine advanced DSP algorithms to detect, identify, and track RF signals
Integrate and test signal processing software with underlying RF/SDR hardware and host processing platforms
Minimum Requirements:
B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
5+ years of relevant development experience
