Senior Radar Algorithms and DSP Engineer

About Mach IndustriesFounded in 2022, Mach Industries is a rapidly growing defense technology company focused on developing next-generation autonomous defense platforms. At the core of our mission is the commitment to delivering scalable, decentralized defense systems that enhance the strategic capabilities of the United States and its allies. With a workforce of approximately 180 employees, we operate with startup agility and ambition.

Our vision is to redefine the future of warfare through cutting-edge manufacturing, innovation at speed, and unwavering focus on national security. We are dedicated to solving the next generation of warfare with lethal systems that deter kinetic conflict and protect global security.

The RoleMach is seeking a Senior Radar Algorithms and DSP Engineer who has had 5+ years of design and implementation experience in developing algorithms for radar systems. This engineer should have a strong mathematical foundation in radar theory and signal processing to provide analysis of the radar and other RF systems and help with the systems development and optimization. You’ll regularly interact with senior leadership to influence fundamental operation of our platforms while collaborating with electrical, software, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to steer this project from initial conception to manufacturing.

Key Responsibilities• Provide system analysis of radar systems.

• Develop algorithms for the signal processing of radar or other RF sensors and simulate performance of these systems in complex battlefield environments.

• Define algorithm blocks and their integration into the larger systems. Conduct end to end studies for algorithm development, tuning, and validation.

• Prototype these algorithms in MATLAB/Python.

• Implement these algorithms in C/C++ for programming of hardware.

• Validate the algorithm/implementation and set up scripts to assist validation.

Required Qualifications• Bachelor's degree in engineering, physics, applied mathematics or equivalent.

• 5+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ programming, board bring-up, profiling, optimization, simulation, and various levels of testing (SW only, HW/SW integration, etc.).

• 5+ years of experience in MATLAB or Python for scientific/mathematical problem solving as well as testing and data analysis.

• Experience with radar systems trade-off, including antenna configuration and waveform selection.

• Experience with radar signal processing, including pulse compression, Doppler processing, C-FAR detection, tracking algorithms, digital beamforming, and MIMO-radar processing.

Preferred Qualifications• Master’s degree or PHD in electrical engineering, physics, applied mathematics or equivalent with 10+ years of relevant experience.

• Experience with stochastic signal processing, signal detection and estimation, HRTFs, crosstalk cancellation, dereverberation, blind deconvolution, direction of arrival estimation, machine learning and anomaly.

• Signal processing intuition regarding time/frequency duality, implications of discrete time signal processing, and implementation details on fixed/floating point architectures.

• Experience with FPGA is highly valued.
