CHAOS Industries - Senior Radar Systems Engineer
Requirements
• We’re looking for engineers with real depth in radar who are excited by hard technical problems and systems that matter. You don’t need every specialism listed below - we value strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly. • Right to work in the UK. • Willingness to travel. You’ll be based in our Soho office in London. • Expect to travel around 25% of the time, in blocks around deployments and test campaigns across Europe and the Middle East, plus time co-locating with the systems engineering team in Los Angeles. • Eligible for UK security clearance.
Responsibilities
• Deployed Performance - own radar performance for systems in the field. Diagnose RF, detection, and tracking problems on live deployments, and turn what you find into concrete fixes. • Tuning & Calibration - calibrate, configure, and tune radar modes for the environments we operate in, and become the expert on how our products behave in the real world. • Performance Analysis - characterise detection, tracking, and false-alarm performance against truth data. Quantify what the system does and find where it falls short. • Field Testing - plan and lead test campaigns and data collections, then analyse the results and turn the findings into product improvements. • Tooling & Enablement - build the tooling, diagnostics, and playbooks that let Mission team engineers independently deploy, tune, and troubleshoot in the field, using AI coding tools to build and ship faster than a team your size otherwise could. • Systems Engineering - contribute to requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria across both sides of the V, grounded in what you’ve seen deployed. • Have several years of hands-on radar systems experience, with a deep understanding of radar principles and modes. • Understand the signal processing chain well enough to reason about it end to end - waveform design, matched filtering, Doppler processing, detection, and clutter rejection. • Have hands-on experience calibrating RF systems and measuring their performance. • Enjoy digging into radar data to work out why a system behaves the way it does. • Are fluent in Python. • Are AI-native - you reach for coding agents and AI tools by default, get real leverage from them, and have a considered view on what to delegate to them and what not to. • Bring systems engineering experience with RF systems, across both sides of the V. • Are comfortable working in the field, on customer sites, and under operational pressure. • Communicate well with people outside your own discipline, technical or not.
