Array Labs is building a distributed radar imaging constellation to power the first accurate, real-time 3D model of the world.

As a radar algorithms engineer at Array Labs, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for distributed radar imaging systems. You’ll work closely with our electrical, communications, and spacecraft teams to build cutting-edge radar hardware, rapidly moving all the way from clean-sheet designs to full operational deployment in space.

Responsibilities:

Develop tomographic synthetic aperture radar algorithms to create high-quality 3D data-products
Work closely with the software product team to implement and deploy efficient algorithms in our cloud-based image production pipeline
Create tools for predicting the performance of 3D reconstruction algorithms based on image collection geometry
Collaborate with the product team to understand customer use-cases and translate needs into system-level requirements.
Generate test plans and methods to validate product quality and ensure it meets end-user expectations

Basic Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, or related field
2+ years of experience in SAR digital signal processing and algorithm development
Excellent teamwork and communication skills
Learns 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
Proficient in MATLAB, C/C++, and/or Python
US citizen or permanent resident (green card)

Preferred Skills and Experience:

Master’s degree in electrical engineering with emphasis in radar image formation and/or digital signal processing
2+ years of experience deploying radar algorithms into production pipelines
2+ years of experience in signal processing for tomographic SAR and/or interferometric SAR
2+ years of experience working with multi-static or multi-channel radar systems
Experience working with standards-based radar data formats (CPHD, SICD)
Experience adapting radar algorithms for parallel processing environments
Experience with stochastic and adaptive signal processing techniques
Experience extracting insights from SAR data products via AI/ML techniques
Knowledge of radar phenomenology from complex scattering environments at fine spatial resolutions

ITAR Requirements:

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.
