SAR Systems Engineer

Job Title: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Systems Engineer

Location: Ahmedabad / Bangalore

Employment Type: Full-time

Experience: 0-3 years

Role Overview

We are seeking a driven Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Systems Engineer with a strong background in digital signal processing (DSP) and radar algorithm development. The ideal candidate should be skilled in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++, and have a solid understanding of radar signal chains. While prior experience in SAR systems is not required, a deep interest and foundational knowledge of radar principles are essential. Exposure to communication systems, especially encoder/decoder design and baseband processing, is a strong plus.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and simulate radar signal processing algorithms including:
• Pulse compression
• Range-Doppler processing
• CFAR detection
• SAR image formation techniques (Range-Doppler, Omega-K, TDBP)
• Analyse raw radar data for calibration, artifact reduction, and performance validation.
• Develop and optimize radar algorithms using MATLAB, Python, and C/C++.
• Contribute to SAR system simulation and processing pipelines, including motion compensation and resolution enhancement.
  
  

Required Skills And Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Signal Processing, or a related field.
• Strong theoretical understanding and hands-on experience in digital signal processing.
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and C/C++ for algorithm development and validation.
• Solid understanding of radar system concepts such as SNR, ambiguity functions, time-frequency analysis.
• Familiarity with range-Doppler radar systems or any pulse-based radar architecture.
  
  

Preferred Skills

• Exposure to SAR systems: signal chain, motion compensation, autofocus, or image formation techniques.
• Familiarity with radar data post-processing, denoising, and resolution enhancement techniques.
• Exposure to data analysis of SAR or radar-like systems (e.g., RF simulation tools or synthetic datasets).
• Understanding of basic RF and antenna principles relevant to SAR performance (e.g., bandwidth, aperture, swath).
  
  

Why Join Us

• Contribute to next-generation SAR systems for remote sensing, aerospace, and defense.
• Collaborate with a world-class R&D team working on challenging radar and sensing problems.
• Opportunity to innovate at the intersection of radar signal processing, sensing systems, and intelligent data analysis.
