About the role

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.
