Key Responsibilities:

• Radar Software Development: Develop, and maintain software for TI AWR radar systems, focusing on signal processing, radar control, and system integration.
• Technology Integration: Implement advanced radar systems for real-time obstacle detection, avoidance, and proximity sensing during drone flight and landing.
• Cooperative Radar Design: Develop radar systems that enable drones to communicate and share data with one another in order to improve overall situational awareness and avoid collisions in dense environments.
• Testing & Validation: Conduct extensive testing of radar systems in real-world scenarios (e.g., indoor/outdoor environments, urban landscapes) to ensure system robustness in diverse conditions.
• Regulatory Compliance: Consideration of the relevant aviation software standards for drone operations, including any regional or international airspace regulations.

Key Skills:

• Software/Embedded Systems: Expertise in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, and embedded software development.
• Experience with radar digital signal processing (DSP), including FFT, filtering, and noise reduction techniques (CFAR, Kalman filters).
• Proficiency with radar simulation tools, hardware integration, and testing methodologies (Matlab / Octave).
• Understanding of firmware architectures and hardware abstraction layers.
• Knowledge of embedded systems design patterns.
• Strong grasp of design patterns, code reviews, version control (Git), and testing methodologies is vital for ensuring code quality and maintainability.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including software design specifications, user manuals, and test reports.
• Experience of working in an Agile development environment, participating in sprint planning, stand-ups, and retrospectives.
• Knowledge of common communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, etc.).
• Understanding TCP/IP, UDP, MQTT and other networking protocols is essential for connected devices.

Desirable:

• Experience in the TI mmWave SDK and related development tools.
• Expertise in Experience with drone navigation systems, autonomous flight, and landing algorithms is a plus.
• Understanding of cooperative radar networks for multi-agent systems.
• Experience with machine learning techniques for sensor data processing and decision-making.
