Array Labs
Radar Signal Processing Engineer (MTI/STAP)
Array Labs, Palo Alto, California, United States, 94306
Radar Signal Processing Engineer (MTI/STAP)
This role is in Array Labs, where we build the world’s most advanced satellite radar constellation to create a high‑resolution 3D digital twin of the Earth. Our mission is to provide "lidar‑like" 3D data and imagery from space, serving critical applications for both commercial and defense customers.
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Radar Engineer with Moving Target Indication (MTI) experience to play a critical role in developing innovative solutions for space‑based AMTI and GMTI radar systems. The ideal candidate will have expertise in radar signal processing, system design, and performance analysis to support advanced radar applications.
Base pay range $150,000.00/yr – $300,000.00/yr
Responsibilities
Design and prototype MTI algorithms, leveraging our unique multistatic configuration.
Productionize radar system architectures for space‑based MTI applications, ensuring performance, scalability, and reliability.
Analyze radar system performance metrics such as detection probability, false alarm rates, clutter suppression, and tracking accuracy.
Develop and utilize simulation tools to model radar system behavior and validate design choices.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—including software engineers, hardware engineers, and program managers—to ensure successful system integration and deployment.
Prepare technical reports, presentations, and documentation to communicate findings and recommendations to stakeholders.
Basic qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Experience with radar system modeling and simulation.
Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB.
Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
Ability to learn new concepts rapidly and self‑directed.
High levels of self‑motivation and personal accountability.
Capacity to work in a fast‑paced environment under significant time constraints.
Must currently hold or be able to maintain a U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Secret level security clearance.
Preferred skills and experience
Master’s or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
5+ years of experience in radar systems engineering, focusing on moving target detection and indication.
Strong knowledge of MTI principles, including Doppler processing, clutter suppression, and space‑time adaptive processing (STAP).
Experience with GMTI, AMTI, and/or moving target detection.
Experience with bistatic and/or multistatic radar systems.
Experience with military or defense radar systems.
Citizenship requirements
U.S. Citizenship is required for all positions with a government clearance and certain other restricted positions.
To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

Interview Process We will conduct three interviews via Zoom; the typical process takes around 2‑4 weeks to complete from start to finish.
Hiring and Compensation Strategy Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple:
Find uncommonly good people.
Pay them uncommonly well.
You can anticipate competitive pay, with high flexibility between salary and equity‑based compensation.
Why Join Array Labs Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high‑resolution, real‑time, three‑dimensional model of Earth. Our next‑generation satellite technology will offer image quality 60× greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.
In forging an affordable, accessible, accurate representation of Earth, our work has the potential to transform the face of dozens of fields, including autonomy, telecommunications, disaster relief, gaming, climate science, defense, and construction.
