We are a multidisciplinary group of software and navigation engineers developing perception and navigation algorithms for resource-constrained platforms. As a member of this team, you will collaborate closely with sensor, autonomy and test engineers in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. Together, we make sure our systems navigate and operate reliably in contested environments, even when GNSS is not available.<br><br><strong>Your Mission</strong><br><br>As a Senior Radar Signal Processing Engineer at STARK, you will lead the development of our radar processing chain: turning raw sensor data into reliable 3D detections, in real time, on embedded hardware. Your ultimate goal is to deliver radar measurements that our navigation and mapping algorithms can depend on in the most demanding conditions.<br><br><strong>Responsibilities</strong><br><br>- Design and implement the full radar processing chain: range-Doppler processing, angle estimation and detection.<br>- Develop robust clutter suppression, multipath mitigation and detection methods for changing terrain, vegetation and weather.<br>- Deliver 3D detections with Doppler and quality metrics, and define the measurement interface with our radar navigation engineers.<br>- Evaluate radar sensors with our sensors team and integrate your work with embedded software, autonomy and test teams.<br>- Take algorithms from Python/MATLAB prototypes to production C++ on embedded compute, and analyse field data to characterise performance and failure modes.<br>- Constantly challenge requirements and take ownership of radar signal processing as a capability at STARK.<br><br><strong>What We Are Looking For</strong><br><br>- You have taken a radar processing chain from raw ADC data to detections on real hardware, not only in simulation.<br>- Deep understanding of radar signal processing — range-Doppler processing, direction-of-arrival estimation, detection theory, clutter — and of the underlying radar physics.<br>- Strong C++ for real-t
