The Role
Radars, alongside cameras, comprise Ghost’s sensor suite built for scale and AI. The Radar Signal Processing Engineer will be responsible for algorithm development and performance assessments of our radar sensors, foundational building blocks enabling self-driving.
What you will do:
- Define what it means for a radar to be performant, including defining the test conditions and data needed for automated assessments
- Execute algorithm and/or calibration upgrades to improve performance when individual radars don’t meet requirements or new operational domains are added
- Manage and analyze large volumes of data from different sources, automating where possible using cloud computing and databases
- Liaise with internal customers including the radar team lead and drive program obstacle pipeline lead
Requirements:
- 5+ years of relevant professional experience
- Advanced understanding of radar phenomenology, radar signal processing techniques, and radar calibration
- Experience calibrating radars employing “stretch” processing
- Expertise developing, calibrating, and verifying performance of adaptive algorithms in radar applications with contested spectrum, including but not limited to adaptive processing, beamforming, and DOA (direction of arrival) estimation
- Understanding of relational databases
- Proficiency in Python
Nice to haves:
- Familiarity with the PostgreSQL Database syntax
- Experience with automotive (W-band) radar
- Basic understanding of Scala
Benefits
- Medical, Vision and Dental coverage (PPO, EPO, and HDHP options available; 100% premium coverage of several medical plans for employees)
- 401(k) plan
- Life Insurance
Compensation
