Radar Engineer

Tomorrow.io is a leading weather intelligence and climate resilience platform helping organizations and governments make better decisions in a world of increasing weather volatility. We are building and operating a weather observation constellation powered by internally developed software-defined radars. We’re looking for a Radar Engineer to support the design, integration, test, and validation of ground and flight radar payload hardware and software. This role is implementation-focused, translating system concepts into working hardware, firmware, and integrated test setups. The Radar Engineer will work closely with senior engineers and scientists on a team responsible for the development, testing, and infrastructure setup of ground and flight radar systems.

Responsibilities

Support transition of radar systems from near-field to far-field validation; Contribute to payload integration in a transportable test platform; Implement and test radar signal processing chains (Beamforming, Calibration workflows, Pulse compression); Support final design, procurement, and test of radar subsystems; Participate in acceptance testing, environmental testing, and bring-up; Support flight radar Software Defined Radio (SDR) development and validation; Assist in test plans and verification of manufactured SDR units; Support standup of payload-level integration and test infrastructure; Assist with full payload assembly, checkout, and regression testing; Maintain integration procedures, test reports, and configuration documentation

Requirements

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or similar; 2+ years of hands-on experience with RF or digital hardware integration; Familiarity with radar systems or phased-array architectures; Familiar with lab test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope); Comfort working with embedded systems, Linux environments, and scripting; Comfort learning complex systems incrementally and developing intuition through hands-on data analysis and testing; Ability to work effectively within a mixed team of engineers and scientists, with respect for different technical perspectives; Willingness to move fluidly between theory, simulation, and real system behavior; Clear technical communication skills, including explaining assumptions, limitations, and trade-offs; U.S. citizenship, permanent residence, or protected individual status due to export control requirements

Nice to have

Ka-band or mmWave RF systems; beamforming implementation; phased-array calibration; SDR platforms; FPGA-based receivers/exciters

Benefits

Comprehensive health benefits; Unlimited paid time off; Unlimited vacation days; Flexible hours; Relocation assistance may be offered/available for certain roles
