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:

o Pulse compression

o Range-Doppler processing

o CFAR detection

o 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.
