RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer
Job Summary
Were Hiring: RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer
Full-Time Core Team
LAT Aerospace Defence
LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines.
Under the Defence program were building next-generation RF sensing - persistent all-weather detection and tracking fielded in months not years. The challenge belongs to signal processing: pulling small slow targets out of clutter in real time on deployable hardware. Youll own the chain from digitized samples to confirmed tracks prototyping on SDRs so an idea goes from model to over-the-air in days. Because our architecture is software-defined every improvement you make ships as capability.
What youll do
Own the radar signal processing chain end to end: dechirp Range-Doppler detection angle estimation track formation.
Take algorithms from SDR prototype to real-time implementation with the FPGA/embedded team.
Design detection pipelines for small low-RCS targets - CFAR clutter suppression false-alarm management.
Develop beamforming angle estimation and channel calibration for multi-channel receive arrays.
Build target classification (micro-Doppler drone/bird/clutter) and multi-target tracking.
Plan and execute field data collection; iterate against real-world clutter and ground truth.
What were looking for
Hands-on radar signal processing - your algorithms must have run against real sensor data not simulation alone.
Proven SDR experience (USRP/Ettus RFSoC BladeRF PlutoSDR-class) model to over-the-air demo.
Strong FMCW processing: dechirp/stretch Range-Doppler waveform parameter design.
Detection and clutter: CFAR Pd/Pfa MTI/clutter suppression; array processing and beamforming.
Target tracking fundamentals: Kalman filtering data association track management.
Strong MATLAB/Python for algorithms; C/C for real-time; delivery to FPGA/SoC/DSP/GPU targets.
Eager to learn - treats I havent done this before as a starting point not a boundary.
Why LAT
No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
Rapid hardware iteration culture.
Opportunity to build next-generation aerospace technology from the ground up.
Required Experience:
IC
