About SoloPulse:
SoloPulse is a DARPA-funded Georgia Tech spin-out and non-traditional defense contractor (NTDC). We leverage advanced wave theory rooted in Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) to transform low-cost RF hardware into tactical-grade intelligence tools. Our product line includes SIGMA (Electronic Support), NOVA (SAR imaging), and ATHENA (AI orchestration), providing high-fidelity sensing at the tactical edge.
The Role:
We're looking for a R&D Systems Engineer to work directly on the development of advanced radar and sensor systems across multiple platforms, including drones and ground vehicles. This highly hands‑on role spans hardware prototyping, mechanical design/build, and embedded software. You'll help turn concepts into field-ready radar systems, from low-level code and electronics integration through physical assembly, lab bring‑up, and testing.
What you'll work on:
Hardware prototyping, wiring, bring-up, and integration
Collect, analyze, and distribute data to various engineering teams
Mechanical design, fabrication, assembly, and system packaging
Debugging across software, electronics, and physical hardware
Supporting drone and sensing platform development from concept to test
Embedded coding for sensor, control, and data acquisition systems
Required Qualifications
Bachelor''s Degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or other technical field
Strong interest in embedded systems, robotics, drones, or sensing platforms
Experience with RF antennas, including RF link budgets, antenna design trades, signal chain analysis, and RF payload integration.
Experience in at least some of the following: C/C++, Python, microcontrollers, electronics, networking, CAD, fabrication, or mechanical assembly
Comfortable learning quickly and working across software and hardware boundaries
Hands-on builder mindset with strong problem-solving ability
Eager to work with cross-functional engineering teams and take meaningful ownership of project
$90,000 - $120,000 a year
