Through the utilization of novel advanced wave theory algorithms, underpinned by the principles of special relativity, SoloPulse can achieve state of the art resolution and latency metrics. Located in Atlanta, GA, SoloPulse stands as a venture-backed startup, diligently cultivating strategic collaborations to proactively address critical safety imperatives and emerging autonomy needs across both civilian and military domains. Our distinguished team encompasses accomplished engineers, seasoned advisors, and experienced startup veterans, collectively driven by an overarching mission to change the way the world sees. SoloPulse is seeking a talented Radar Signal Processing Intern to join our dynamic and innovative organization. In this role you will have the opportunity to develop and implement advanced algorithms for radar systems contributing to the success of critical commercial and defense projects. To excel in this role, you must possess strong analytical skills, a deep desire to learn radar signal processing techniques, and a drive to continuously improve and innovate. ## Responsibilities - Technical challenges cover a broad range of disciplines including antennas, the entire transmit and receive chain, radar system modeling, ground moving target identification, electronic warfare, maritime surveillance, image processing, algorithm development for advanced Radar image products and exploitation - Design, development, and analysis of radar system and software architectures - Design, implementation, and testing of algorithms for detection, discrimination and tracking systems - Modeling and simulation of system designs to demonstrate performance metrics - Develop unique solutions and efficient implementations of signal processing algorithms for challenging mission applications - Use common industry signal processing tools such as MATLAB, Python or C++ to analyze data and generate algorithms - Analyze system level signal propagation, RF system performance, requirements development and review - Collaborate with a broad range of cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership ## Qualifications - Must be pursuing a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in mathematics, physics, engineering, or other technical field - Proficiency in Matlab, Python, and/or C++ - Knowledge of digital signal processing techniques such as matched filters, Fourier transforms, and Nyquist sampling rates - Strong communication and teamwork skills Bonus Qualifications - Knowledge of maximum likelihood estimators (MLE), stretch processing (or FMCW processing), Doppler shift - Knowledge of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) algorithms Join our team and be part of a dynamic, collaborative environment where innovation and creativity thrive. We offer competitive compensation and the opportunity to work on groundbreaking projects that will shape the future of radar technology. ## About SoloPulse ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: SoloPulse is architecting a foundational layer of signal intelligence that converts invisible RF signals into persistent, actionable data for global operations, primarily serving defense and autonomous systems. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed Stage) - **Headquarters**: Peachtree Corners (Atlanta), Georgia, United States - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Allyson McKinney and Michael McKinney ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Deep Tech, Defense Technology, Signal Intelligence, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Autonomous Systems - **Target customers**: B2G (Defense/Government), B2B (Autonomous vehicle/Aerospace OEMs). Dual-use technology with both commercial and defense market applications. - **Mission or purpose statement**: "To develop products that redefine global perception by harnessing cutting-edge physics and AI." ## Products & Services - **SIGMA™**: A payload for threat detection (UAS and man-portable systems) delivering instant target fixes, situational awareness, and mission adaptability while remaining silent. - **NOVA™**: A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) processing system delivering real-time actionable intelligence for satellite constellations and UASs with unmatched clarity and speed. - **Tactical EDGE Processing**: On-device, real-time signal processing solutions for edge deployments. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total Funding of **$9.4M** (Seed + Pre-Seed) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: First Spark Ventures (Eric Schmidt fund, lead), EVE Atlas, Crosscut Ventures, Cantos, Georgia Tech Foundation. Strong affiliation with Georgia Tech’s innovation ecosystem and research impact venture fund. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount growth of **+83.3% YoY** (now 19 employees). - Active job postings: **10** (monthly postings up +11.1%, quarterly +42.9%, yearly +100%). - Raised a $7.15M Seed round in Jan 2025, enabling a confidential product pivot. - Described as having "particularly favorable" investor conditions for dual-use deep tech. ## Competitive Advantages - **First Principles Physics**: Technology that "rethinks imaging elegantly from first principles" (per investor Thiago Olsen, a former physicist). - **Dual-Use Market**: Applicable to both high-stakes defense contracts and massive commercial autonomy markets (anything that operates without human control). - **Top-Tier Affiliation**: Originated from Georgia Tech IP, leveraging top academic research and talent pipelines (5 interns currently from Georgia Tech). - **Silent Sense**: SIGMA’s ability to detect threats while remaining electronically silent is a critical moat in contested RF environments. ## Strategic Focus - **Product Pivot**: The 2025 seed funding is enabling a pivot to a new product platform (details confidential) that the founders believe will be the step needed to "truly Change How the World Sees." - **Scaling the Team**: Aggressively hiring DSP, Embedded, Systems, and RF engineers to accelerate product development. - **National Security & Autonomy**: Prioritizing technologies for autonomous systems safety/control and defense situational awareness. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Values of "Kindness, Intelligence, Grit, and Accountability." Described as a "supportive, family-like culture" typical of the Atlanta deep tech scene. Mission-driven work on "fundamentally new sensortech." - **Work Model**: Hybrid (offices in Peachtree Corners, GA). Internships and co-ops available. - **Engineering Culture**: Highly technical, physics-first, and hands-on. Heavy focus on Signal Processing, Radar, and Embedded Systems. Very strong Georgia Tech talent pipeline. - **Growth Opportunity**: High-growth startup (+83% headcount), significant recent funding, and early stage—meaning high impact and ownership for engineers. - **Location**: Atlanta offers a favorable cost of living, access to Curiosity Lab (living lab for startups), and a vibrant but less competitive tech scene than the Bay Area. ## Sources 1.
