Vannevar Labs, Seattle, Washington, us, 98127
Overview
Seattle, Washington, United States Vannevar is a defense technology company building AI to deter our adversaries.
In the 21st century, conflict moves at algorithmic speed and foresight equals firepower. Our agentic AI models adversary behavior, simulates campaigns, and recommends the best course of action to decision makers. Our AI systems are trusted in the industry and used on the front lines of the Indo-Pacific to keep the peace and save lives. Exceptional technology starts with exceptional people. We’re building a company defined by mission impact, user empathy, and disciplined growth, with a track record of ARR growth and profitability. About the role
The sensing team at Vannevar Labs is building a hardware product that supports low-cost, attritable, and easily coordinated sensing. We’re looking for a digital signal processing and communications engineer who can develop methods to detect, equalize, and classify RF signals to support an agile signal detection and characterization platform. You will be the principal engineer for developing a framework for detection, equalization and triage of diverse waveforms, ensuring signal processing methods address mission-critical sensing requirements for U.S. Government end users. This is a hybrid role based in Seattle (3 days/week in office). What you’ll do
Develop new methods to detect and characterize known and anomalous waveforms Develop a data triage tool to identify fundamental physical phenomena or signal properties that are root causes for AI model classification failures Develop optimized software that can be integrated into a resource-constrained processing pipeline on edge platforms Collaborate with cross-disciplinary engineering teams to integrate developed algorithms and models into production Hands-on technical contributor in test and evaluation of the developed capabilities Responsible for unit tests and simulation capabilities for potential propagation scenarios Travel up to 20% of time to meet with internal stakeholders and assist experimentation and capability evaluation events What we look for
2+ years with digital signal processing implementation, wireless communications and detection and estimation methods 2+ years building channel equalization methods or working with channel propagation modeling 2+ years developing optimized processing code in Python, C++ or embedded environments 2+ years of signal processing software test and evaluation using hardware-in-the-loop or other non-software simulation-based evaluation What we offer
The salary range for this position is $130,000 - $180,000 + equity + 401K match. Within the range, pay is determined by experience, education, and training. Health, dental, and vision insurance Unlimited PTO including vacation and holidays Lifestyle stipends for mental health, wellness, fitness, home office setup, and family planning Salary top-up during military reserve duty Fully paid parental leave Child and pet care reimbursement during travel Equal Opportunity
