A high-growth technology organization at the forefront of autonomous systems and advanced sensing is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to lead the design and integration of next-generation radar sensor solutions. This is a high-impact hybrid role that blends deep technical execution with system-level ownership, supporting both defense and commercial autonomy platforms.
You’ll take the lead on architecting complex embedded radar systems, ensuring technical integrity from concept through deployment—all while navigating the demands of compliance, documentation, and rigorous systems engineering practices.
This role is built for engineers who thrive in technically sophisticated environments where radar expertise, disciplined process thinking, and cross-functional coordination converge. If you're driven by innovation but grounded in structure, this is your opportunity to shape mission-critical technology in a fast-moving, regulated domain.
