## Description

The Eikon Research team is currently seeking a Radar Firmware Engineer to join our team for the design, development, and improvement of firmware for our family of ground-based radars.

The ideal candidate will be able to take designs/requirements and translate them into clear, well-documented, correct code/designs. A strong understanding of digital design fundamentals, firmware development processing, and parallel processing paradigms is required.

The radar firmware engineering space is vast, so not all of these may apply:

 * Develop, integrate, and test firmware to support radar systems. Typical projects may include:
 * Development of/improvements to radar digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms
 * Integration with hardware peripherals
 * Integration with computing systems / subsystems
 * Develop small software utilities to interface with embedded systems, microcontrollers, and FPGAs. Software may include command-line test tools, benchmarks, or other utilities to assist in testing firmware
 * Develop unit and integration tests for new and existing codebases
 * Develop documentation in-code and in PowerPoint / Word for use in product documentation
 * Participate in Agile development practices including daily standups and sprint planning/reviews
 * Utilize tools such as Git, GitLab, Jira, and Doxygen for code management, issue tracking, Agile planning, and documentation
