At Array Labs, we are building the world’s most advanced radar imaging satellites to produce an accurate, continuously updated 3D map of the Earth, providing governments and commercial organizations with critical insights into the physical world.
We design and build our satellites end-to-end, from on-orbit hardware to ground software and data processing, achieving system performance not possible with conventional satellite systems.
About the Job
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.
As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation—one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet.
Responsibilities:
- 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
Basic qualifications:
- 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
Preferred skills and experience:
- 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
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.
