Radar Systems Engineer

Ready to be part of something big? At KRUSH Labs, a privately owned R&D center, we push the boundaries of unmanned systems and advanced hardware. We’re building next-generation platforms that fuse resilient communications, AI-driven autonomy, and precision navigation, designed to perform in the most demanding real-world environments. Join us to tackle complex challenges, turn cutting-edge research into deployed technology, and help shape the future of autonomous systems! 

We are building a compact, high-performance radar system designed to detect and track small UAVs in complex environments, including low altitude, cluttered, and urban terrain. 

As a Radar Systems Engineer, you will take ownership of radar architecture, signal processing design, and real-world validation — from theoretical modeling to field deployment. You will work across RF, embedded, and FPGA domains to develop robust detection and tracking capabilities for low-RCS targets in challenging operational conditions. 

This role offers the opportunity to design radar systems at the architecture level and rapidly transition from simulation to live field testing. 

Key Responsibilities 

• Design and define radar system architecture (FMCW, Pulse-Doppler, or MIMO) 

• Develop range-Doppler processing pipelines 

• Implement CFAR algorithms, clutter suppression techniques, and tracking filters 

• Extract and analyze micro-Doppler signatures for UAV classification 

• Optimize detection performance for low-RCS targets (<0.1 m²) 

• Support RF front-end and antenna design decisions 

• Deploy radar prototypes and conduct live detection trials 

• Contribute to system validation, performance analysis, and iterative improvements 

Requirements

• Strong foundation in radar theory and signal processing 

• Experience working with FMCW or pulse radar systems 

• Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for modeling and algorithm development 

• Solid understanding of Doppler processing, RCS, SNR, and clutter modeling 

• Ability to work across RF, embedded, and FPGA teams in a multidisciplinary environment 

• Hands-on mindset with the ability to move from simulation to real-world validation 

 

Skills & Abilities Required 

• Radar architecture design (FMCW, Pulse-Doppler, MIMO) 

• Range-Doppler processing 

• CFAR and detection algorithms 

• Clutter suppression and tracking filters 

• Micro-Doppler analysis and target classification 

• Signal processing and performance optimization 

• Cross-functional collaboration (RF, FPGA, embedded systems) 

Additional assets: 

• Experience with MIMO radar or beamforming 

• Background in automotive radar systems (12 / 24 / 77 GHz) 

• Experience in micro-Doppler-based target classification
