Radar Engineer

Tomorrow.io is a weather intelligence and climate resilience company that provides a comprehensive platform combining space-based sensing, artificial intelligence, and sector-specific analytics to help organizations make data-driven decisions in response to weather and climate conditions. The company operates its own first-of-its-kind commercial weather-sensing satellite constellation, enabling cloud-penetrating atmospheric observation on a continuous and global scale. Its platform delivers hyperlocal weather forecasts, real-time data, historical weather analysis, and AI-powered decision support across industries including aviation, insurance, energy, rail, trucking, manufacturing, and government defense. Tomorrow.io's mission centers on building weather resilience for both organizations and individuals by transforming raw atmospheric data into actionable intelligence. The company addresses climate-related operational risks by offering agentic AI tools such as its Shield Agent suite, which helps insurance carriers anticipate peril-driven losses, accelerate claims verification, and manage catastrophe response. By fusing proprietary satellite data with global datasets and adaptive modeling, Tomorrow.io aims to reduce the economic and human costs associated with extreme weather events, directly contributing to climate adaptation efforts. What distinguishes Tomorrow.io is its end-to-end, space-powered AI architecture — from owning and operating its own satellite constellation to delivering enterprise-grade weather APIs, mobile consumer applications, and embedded forecast widgets. The company also maintains a philanthropic arm, TomorrowNow.org, focused on climate resilience for vulnerable communities. Founded in the United States, Tomorrow.io has grown into a globally trusted platform used by leading organizations worldwide seeking to operationalize weather intelligence.

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. By combining proprietary satellite technology, advanced AI forecasting models, and actionable analytics, Tomorrow.io delivers hyper‑local weather insights that protect lives, strengthen operations, and build climate resilience globally.

Our space program is core to this mission. We are building and operating a weather observation constellation powered by internally developed software‑defined radars — transforming how atmospheric data is captured and used worldwide.

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.

 

What You’ll Do

• 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

What You Bring

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or similar
• 2+ years of hands-on experience with RF or digital hardware integration (Ka-band or mmWave RF systems is preferred)
• Familiarity with radar systems or phased-array architectures (Ideally with Beamforming implementation, phased-array calibration, SDR platforms, and FPGA-based receivers/exciters)
• 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
