About the role

FPGA Radar Engineer focused on designing and implementing real-time radar signal-processing pipelines for Harmattan AI’s drone sensing capabilities, from architecture and RTL to integration and field validation.

Responsibilities

  • Develop FPGA-based radar signal-processing pipelines, encompassing key stages such as pulse compression, Range/Doppler processing, CFAR detection, and target tracking handoff.
  • Contribute to the RTL implementation of radar waveform generation and reception, including both FMCW and pulsed waveforms.
  • Perform system-level radar simulations, including Range-Doppler maps, SNR modeling, clutter analysis, and assessment of detection performance under realistic conditions.
  • Write and maintain testbenches and validation frameworks tailored to radar processing chains, enabling rapid debugging and iteration.
  • Collaborate closely with RF and hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration between FPGA designs and the radar front end - including antenna, Tx/Rx modules, ADC/DAC interfaces, timing, and synchronization.
  • Document the interfaces between the radar processing core, system software, and hardware layers.

Qualifications

  • Master’s degree (or equivalent) in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Applied Physics, or a related field.
  • At least 3 years of hands-on FPGA development experience, including practical work with radar or sonar signal processing (using VHDL and/or Verilog/SystemVerilog).
  • Strong working knowledge of radar signal processing fundamentals, including pulse compression, matched filtering, Range-Doppler processing, CFAR, and clutter rejection.
  • Familiarity with FMCW and pulsed radar architectures, including waveform generation and digital back-end processing on FPGA.
  • Solid foundation in DSP concepts: FFT, FIR/IIR filtering, windowing, fixed-point arithmetic, and precision management.
  • Experience with test benches development and hardware-in-the-loop validation.
  • Rigorous and collaborative, with the ability to work effectively across hardware, software, and systems teams.
  • 100% dedication to Harmattan AI’s mission, vision, and ambitious growth plans, ready to go the extra mile to ensure operational excellence.
