Senior Radar Signal Processing Engineer
United States
About UsLeoLabs enables military space commands, civil government agencies, and commercial operators to confidently detect, track, characterize, and respond to threats in space. Our proliferated, multi-mission radar network, real-time orbital data catalog, and AI-powered analytics support secure, safe, and dynamic space operations.
At LeoLabs, our core values of Innovation, Integrity, and Impact guide everything we do. We foster an environment where bold ideas are encouraged, doing the right thing is fundamental, and our work makes a meaningful difference in safeguarding space and our way of life on Earth. As part of our team, you’ll contribute to building the world’s most comprehensive living map of orbital activity, designed to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our era. Together, we are preserving the U.S. and Allied advantage in space, driving the growth of the global economy, and enabling the future of space exploration and innovation.
The Opportunity LeoLabs is hiring a Senior Radar Signal Processing Engineer to architect, develop, implement, and deploy new digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms on our proliferated network of phased-array radars. Through developing new signal processing algorithms, you will actively contribute to growing the utility, application, and mission impact of LeoLabs’ radars. You will join the Radar Systems team, and report to the Senior Manager of Radar Systems.
