Lead Product Systems Engineer to harden and validate dual-use radar prototypes through production, owning full-stack integration from RF through output for both military and civilian deployment. Ideal for hands-on systems engineer ready to bridge prototype-to-product maturation on challenging autonomy and sensing challenges.
Mission
SoloPulse develops dual-use radar sensing technology supporting both civilian safety and military autonomy applications. The role directly supports strategic DOD/defense collaborations and emerging autonomy initiatives requiring production-grade hardened systems capable of field deployment on aerial and ground platforms.
About this role
SoloPulse Corp is a dual-use radar company committed to the relentless exploration of the frontiers of radar sensing technology. Located in Atlanta, GA, SoloPulse stands as a venture-backed startup, diligently cultivating strategic collaborations to proactively address critical safety imperatives and emerging autonomy needs across both civilian and military domains. Our distinguished team encompasses accomplished engineers, seasoned advisors, and experienced startup veterans, collectively driven by an overarching mission to change the way the world sees.
SoloPulse is hiring a Product Systems Engineer to lead the integration, hardening, and validation that transforms a validated prototype to a shippable product. You'll have real ownership of your work, the problems are challenging, and your teammates hold themselves to a high standard.
Responsibilities
- Understanding of full system integration from end-to-end: RF front end → digital → signal processing → state estimation → output
- Hardening for environment and reliability (shock, vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC), including designing, running, and validating the test campaigns (MIL-STD-810/461 where applicable)
- Driving production transition and NPI: design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test, build documentation, test fixtures, and bring-up procedures that external parties can follow
- Decomposing requirements, controlling interfaces (ICDs), and verifying them, with traceability from customer requirement to test result
- Owning field deployment and platform integration (i.e aerial and ground vehicles), including failures when they happen and driving the fix
- Identifying and building the test infrastructure (benches, fixtures, automated acceptance) that enables the team to ship reliably
Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other technical field
- 6+ years of demonstrated experience integrating real hardware-plus-software systems that shipped or deployed
- RF systems literacy: link budgets, antenna and signal-chain trades, RF payload integration
- Hands-on experience across C/C++, Python, electronics, networking, CAD, fabrication, and mechanical assembly
- Test and validation discipline; the ability to design tests that find problems before deployment
- Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance; U.S. person required
Nice-to-have Qualifications
- MIL-STD environmental and EMC/EMI test experience
- New product introduction / production transition experience
- Platform integration experience (UAS, ground vehicles)
