Full Job Description
Join us to design and deploy next-generation, satellite-based radar that delivers persistent, all-weather, day-night sensing at global scale. You'll build end-to-end capabilities-from waveform design, on-board processing, classification and calibration-for systems on LEO platforms. Working across RF hardware, phased arrays, and advanced DSP, you'll turn raw echoes into decision-ready products. If you thrive at the intersection of electromagnetics, signal processing, and systems engineering-and want your code and designs to fly-this role is for you.
What you'll be doing:
• Develop algorithms for channel processing, beamforming, detection, estimation, calibration, interference mitigation, and related radar functions.
• Create performance models, simulations, reference implementations, and test vectors.
• Allocate processing functions across GPU, FPGA, embedded, and software resources.
• Characterize latency, throughput, numerical precision, resource use, and failure behavior.
• Support prototype demonstrations, requirements verification, software development, and I&T.
What you bring to this role:
• Bachelor's or advanced degree in electrical engineering, applied mathematics, physics, or a related field.
• Five or more years of radar, sonar, communications, or high-rate signal-processing experience.
• Strong DSP fundamentals and proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, CUDA, or comparable tools.
• Experience translating algorithms into real-time implementations and objective tests.
• Security clearance: U.S. citizenship is required. Candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. Government security clearance at the Secret level or higher, and any program-specific access required for the position. Continued employment is contingent upon obtaining and maintaining the required clearance and access.
Bonus points for the following:
• GPU-accelerated radar processing and sub-second end-to-end latency experience.
• UHF phased-array calibration or digital beamforming experience.
• Experience developing independent golden-reference models and test vectors.
Additional Requirements:
This is a fast-paced, high-impact environment - flexibility to work extended hours or weekends during critical periods is expected.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $120,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used-so we're looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that's your experience - then we'll be immediately wow-ed.
This role requires access to controlled technical data. Under U.S. law (ITAR/EAR), we can only consider U.S. persons (U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals granted asylum or refugee status).
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
