Radar Signal Processing Engineer (MTI/STAP)

At Array Labs, we are building the world's most advanced satellite radar constellation to create a high-resolution 3D digital twin of the Earth. Our mission is to provide "lidar-like" 3D data and imagery from space, serving critical applications for both commercial and defense customers.

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Radar Engineer with Moving Target Indication (MTI) experience to join our team. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in developing innovative solutions for space-based AMTI and GMTI radar systems. This position requires expertise in radar signal processing, system design, and performance analysis to  support advanced radar applications.

• Design and prototype MTI algorithms, taking advantage of our unique multistatic configuration
• Productionize radar system architectures for space-based MTI applications, ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability
• Analyze radar system performance metrics such as detection probability, false alarm rates, clutter suppression, and tracking accuracy
• Develop and utilize simulation tools to model radar system behavior and validate design choices
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including software engineers,  hardware engineers, and program managers, to ensure successful system  integration and deployment
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• Experience with radar system modeling and simulation
• Proficiency in Python, C/C , or MATLAB
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills
• Learn new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
• High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
• Must currently hold or be able to maintain a U.S Department of Defense (DoD) Secret level security clearance
  

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field
• 5 years of experience in radar systems engineering, with a focus on moving target detection and indication
• Strong knowledge of MTI principles, including Doppler processing, clutter suppression, space-time adaptive processing (STAP)
• Experience with GMTI, AMTI, and/or moving target detection
• Experience with bistatic and/or multistatic radar systems
• Experience with military or defense radar systems
  

• U.S. Citizenship is required for all positions with a government clearance and certain other restricted positions
• To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must  be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected  individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the  required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State
