Research Engineer I (Radar) Full-time

Research Engineer

The Research Engineer will support research projects involving radar sensing systems for remote sensing in complex environments. The role requires a solid understanding of radar operating principles and familiarity with radar signal-processing algorithms.

Key responsibilities include contributing to radar hardware architecture, system integration, and the construction of experimental sensing platforms; configuring radar front-ends and antennas; implementing data-acquisition pipelines; and integrating RF, baseband, and signal-processing modules. The Research Engineer will also assist in system validation, calibration, and performance benchmarking. This position plays a crucial role in building reliable radar prototypes and enabling advanced remote-sensing research across diverse applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Configure radar waveforms, antenna arrays, and acquisition parameters to support radar operation, such as waveform generation, beamforming, target detection and tracking.
• Conduct system validation, calibration, and performance characterization across various environments.
• Perform controlled laboratory experiments and real-world data-collection campaigns, ensuring high-quality datasets for research.
• Support the implementation and evaluation of radar signal-processing and machine-learning algorithms (e.g., range-Doppler processing, beamforming, clutter suppression, micro-Doppler extraction).
• Document system configurations, experimental procedures, and test results for internal reports and research publications.
• Collaborate with researchers and students to support experimental needs and contribute to continuous platform improvements.
• Assist in project reporting, technical documentation, and dissemination of research outcomes.

Job Requirements:

• MSc/ MEng/ BEng in Electrical and Electronics Engineering or other related fields.
• Background in RF systems, radar hardware, embedded systems, or sensing technologies is preferred.
• Hands-on experience with radar signal processing and RF test equipment.
