Full Job Description
We're looking for a Radar Engineer to support the design, integration, test, and validation of ground and flight radar payload hardware and software. This role is implementation-focused, translating system concepts into working hardware, firmware, and integrated test setups.

The Radar Engineer will work closely with senior engineers and scientists on a team responsible for the development, testing, and infrastructure setup of ground and flight radar systems.

What You'll Do
  • Support transition of radar systems from near-field to far-field validation
  • Contribute to payload integration in a transportable test platform
  • Implement and test radar signal processing chains (Beamforming, Calibration workflows, Pulse compression)
  • Support final design, procurement, and test of radar subsystems
  • Participate in acceptance testing, environmental testing, and bring-up
  • Support flight radar Software Defined Radio (SDR) development and validation
  • Assist in test plans and verification of manufactured SDR units
  • Support standup of payload-level integration and test infrastructure
  • Assist with full payload assembly, checkout, and regression testing
  • Maintain integration procedures, test reports, and configuration documentation

What You Bring
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or similar
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience with RF or digital hardware integration (Ka-band or mmWave RF systems is preferred)
  • Familiarity with radar systems or phased-array architectures (Ideally with Beamforming implementation, phased-array calibration, SDR platforms, and FPGA-based receivers/exciters)
  • Familiar with lab test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope)
  • Comfort working with embedded systems, Linux environments, and scripting
  • Comfort learning complex systems incrementally and developing intuition through hands-on data analysis and testing
  • Ability to work effectively within a mixed team of engineers and scientists, with respect for different technical perspectives
  • Willingness to move fluidly between theory, simulation, and real system behavior
  • Clear technical communication skills, including explaining assumptions, limitations, and trade-offs

If your experience is close but doesn't fulfill all requirements, please apply. Tomorrow.io is on a mission to build a special company. To achieve our goal, we are focused on hiring people with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
