Contract DSP Engineer - Radar

• Develop radar signal processing algorithms and real-time software
• Help develop the end-to-end signal processing chain
• Support the transition from simulated data environments to real-world hardware integration
• Work closely with the team to develop the ground-based sensing platform

Technologies:

• FPGA
• Hardware
• Support
• Rust
• C++, We are supporting a Cambridge-based technology business developing advanced sensor and radar systems and bringing a next-generation product to market. This hands-on contract role supports signal processing development during a critical phase of product development, working with a small, highly experienced team. The initial assignment is expected to last 3-4 months, with strong potential for extension, and requires on-site work in Cambridge for most of the assignment. The client is considered exempt for IR35 purposes; contractors operating through their own PSC are responsible for assessing their IR35 status.

• Experience in radar signal processing, including Range Doppler, CFAR detection, and target tracking
• Real-time software development using Rust, C, or C++
• GPU-accelerated signal processing on NVIDIA platforms, ideally NVIDIA Jetson, with high data rates in real time
• Test-driven development experience and experience creating DSP test harnesses
• FPGA exposure is desirable
