Engineering Roles

You’ll tackle signal processing problems that most defense companies leave unsolved. The spectrum is contested. Threats evolve quickly. Sensors mislead in saturated environments. You’ll develop algorithms that extract signal from noise under the constraints that matter in the real world: compute, latency, and power. Your toolkit spans radar, electronic warfare, and emerging domains where signals are the terrain. You’ll work with MATLAB, Python, and optimization libraries alongside signal processing theory: Kalman filters, Bayesian inference, and deep learning for detection and classification. Some of your work will be pure research; some will be validated against live data you can’t discuss. 

You’ll work at the seam between the RF hardware engineers who build the antenna arrays and receivers and the software team that turns your algorithms into robust, efficient code. You’ll collaborate with researchers across STR when problems span domains. When you hand off a prototype, you’ll brief the team on what it does, why it works, and where it breaks down. Sometimes, you’ll publish and defend your work through peer review. Sometimes, your highest-impact work will remain classified, because it matters.
