About the role

Radar signal processing engineer role based in Paris, owning algorithms from research to embedded implementation and flight validation for Harmattan AI's airborne radar payload.

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement near-real-time algorithms for radar image formation, including inverse SAR (ISAR) processing of moving targets.
  • Develop and refine detection and tracking algorithms (e.g., EKF/UKF-based approaches) for moving target indication on airborne radar data.
  • Build jamming estimation capabilities, combining out-of-band spectral sniffing with in-band spatial covariance analysis, and the adaptive logic that drives radar behavior in response.
  • Contribute radar-derived observables and algorithms that support navigation when GNSS is unavailable.
  • Prototype and port algorithms onto the selected embedded computing platform, balancing algorithmic performance against real-time and resource constraints.
  • Validate algorithms end-to-end through hardware-in-the-loop bench testing, anechoic chamber campaigns, and real flight conditions, iterating quickly on results.
  • Work closely with the EW and RF analytics modules to align signal processing development with system-level requirements.

Qualifications

  • 2 to 5 years of confirmed, hands-on experience in radar signal processing, gained in the defense or automotive radar industry preferably.
  • Solid experience in Signal Processing on radar systems, either FMCW or pulsed, is required; exposure to moving target tracking, ECCM, radar-based navigation, or live/real-time processing is a strong plus.
  • Strong theoretical foundations and genuine hands-on comfort with the underlying mathematics, not reliance on off-the-shelf tools or LLM-generated solutions.
  • A quick thinker, comfortable taking full ownership of a technical scope end-to-end with minimal oversight.
  • Comfortable working in a fast, iterative cycle: writing code, running hardware-in-the-loop tests, and pushing validated changes independently.
