CHAOS Industries is a defense technology company founded in 2022 and backed by $1 billion in funding from leading investors including 8VC, Accel, and Valor Equity Partners. The company develops advanced radar and distributed network capabilities for warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams, powered by their proprietary Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™) technology.
You will support the systems engineering design and development of cutting-edge radar capabilities. In this role, you will design and develop advanced radar signal processing algorithms for target detection, tracking, and classification. You will lead the development of new radar capabilities with minimal guidance, optimize algorithms for real-time performance under resource constraints, and implement solutions in software (C++, Python, MATLAB) and/or hardware (FPGAs, DSPs).
Key responsibilities include analyzing radar data to evaluate system performance and identify improvements, developing and maintaining system simulations and models to support algorithm development, designing radar modes, and contributing to system requirements and specifications. You will conduct modeling and simulation of radar systems, sub-systems, and signal processing chains. Additionally, you will plan and lead field tests and data collection activities, document and present technical findings to leadership, and mentor junior engineers.
The role is full-time onsite at the Hawthorne, CA office.
