About the job

## About Us Array Labs builds advanced radar systems to help humanity understand and respond to changes across the physical world.

We're launching a coordinated fleet of radar satellites to create a high-resolution 3D map of the Earth, updated in real time, enabling faster, smarter decision-making for government and commercial organizations supporting disaster response, infrastructure resilience, and mission-critical geopolitical intelligence.

We design and build our satellites end-to-end, producing the world's most advanced earth observation satellites.

Our fleet will deliver unprecedented levels of accuracy, coverage, and responsiveness to power critical insights precisely where they're needed most. ## About the Job As a Radar Algorithms Engineer you will develop, deploy, and scale innovative 3D reconstruction algorithms and processing techniques for this unique radar imaging system.

In addition to working closely with the rest of the software team, you will be collaborating with the hardware and product teams to rapidly advance image formation techniques from concept to a cloud-based imagery production pipeline.

As part of our quickly growing engineering team, you will play a critical role in the design of the world’s most advanced radar satellite constellation - one that will significantly improve humanity’s ability to rapidly and comprehensively understand our changing planet. ## Responsibilities - Develop synthetic aperture radar algorithms to create high-quality 3D data-products.

These can take inspiration from techniques in tomography, interferometry, radargrammetry, as well as computer vision algorithms. - Work closely with the rest of the software team to implement and deploy efficient algorithms in our cloud-based image production pipeline - Create tools for predicting the performance of 3D reconstruction algorithms based on image collection geometry - Collaborate with the product team to understand customer use-cases and translate needs into system-level requirements. - Generate test plans and methods to validate product quality and ensure it meets end-user expectations ## Basic Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, physics, computer science, or related field - Experience in SAR digital signal processing and algorithm development - Excellent teamwork and communication skills - Learn new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner - High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability - Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints - Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB ## Preferred Skills & Experience - Advanced degree with emphasis in radar image formation - Familiarity with SAR image formation algorithms - Familiarity with SAR collection modes and motion compensation concepts - Experience deploying radar algorithms into production pipelines - Familiarity with modern software development practices (version control, code review, continuous integration, etc) - Familiarity with SAR collection geometries and implications (crossing node interferometry, multi-baseline interferometry) - Familiarity with SAR interferogram processing - Familiarity with tomographic aspects of SAR and related concepts such as holographic principles, critical baseline, etc. - Familiarity with multi-dimensional inverse SAR and related optimization methods ## Compensation & Benefits Our hiring and compensation strategy is simple: We offer competitive salaries and meaningful equity.

We want everyone here to have real ownership in what we're building.

Full-time employees also enjoy a comprehensive benefits package including the following: Health & Wellness - Medical, dental, and vision insurance (including a fully employer-paid medical plan) - Paid parental leave (12 weeks / 6 weeks) Time Off - 19 paid vacation days, 10 sick days, 11 company holidays Financial - 401(k) with employer match (100% match up to 3%, 50% match up to 5%) - Commuter expenses (parking & transit) ## Perks & Lifestyle - Daily lunch stipend; Audible subscription; Claude Pro access; relocation support - Hybrid work options & flexibility We reserve the right to modify base pay and other compensation components.

More details about our benefits are available to candidates during the hiring process. ## Interview Process We will conduct interviews via Google Meet, with the potential for an onsite visit to our office in Redwood City, CA. The typical interview process takes around 3 to 5 weeks. ## Why Join Array At Array Labs, deep technical expertise meets relentless impact.

We prioritize curiosity over hierarchy and bold ideas over incremental gains. Our world-class team across hardware engineering, software, and aerospace works collaboratively to push boundaries. Join industry-leading experts to build the future of radar and deliver unprecedented insights into the physical world. ## ITAR Requirements To conform to U.S.
