# RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer at LAT Aerospace Private

- **Company:** LAT Aerospace Private
- **Location:** Bengaluru, India
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-20
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-10

## Job description

We're Hiring: RF Digital Signal Processing Engineer Full-Time | Core Team LAT Aerospace | Defence

LAT Aerospace is developing next-generation aerospace systems from first principles. This includes a hybrid electric aircraft that takes off and lands within a space of a parking lot, Defence systems built from ground up and scalable Gas Turbine Engines. Under the Defence program – we're building next-generation RF sensing - persistent, all-weather detection and tracking, fielded in months, not years. The challenge belongs to signal processing: pulling small, slow targets out of clutter, in real time, on deployable hardware. You'll own the chain from digitized samples to confirmed tracks, prototyping on SDRs so an idea goes from model to over-the-air in days. Because our architecture is software-defined, every improvement you make ships as capability.

## What you'll do

- Own the radar signal processing chain end to end: dechirp, Range-Doppler, detection, angle estimation, track formation.
- Take algorithms from SDR prototype to real-time implementation with the FPGA/embedded team.
- Design detection pipelines for small, low-RCS targets - CFAR, clutter suppression, false-alarm management.
- Develop beamforming, angle estimation, and channel calibration for multi-channel receive arrays.
- Build target classification (micro-Doppler, drone/bird/clutter) and multi-target tracking.
- Plan and execute field data collection; iterate against real-world clutter and ground truth.

## What we're looking for

- Hands-on radar signal processing - your algorithms must have run against real sensor data, not simulation alone.
- Proven SDR experience (USRP/Ettus, RFSoC, BladeRF, PlutoSDR-class), model to over-the-air demo.
- Strong FMCW processing: dechirp/stretch, Range-Doppler, waveform parameter design.
- Detection and clutter: CFAR, Pd/Pfa, MTI/clutter suppression; array processing and beamforming.
- Target tracking fundamentals: Kalman filtering, data association, track management.
- Strong MATLAB/Python for algorithms; C/C++ for real-time; delivery to FPGA/SoC/DSP/GPU targets.
- Eager to learn - treats "I haven't done this before" as a starting point, not a boundary.

Why LAT?

- No hierarchy beyond strength of ideas.
- Rapid hardware iteration culture.
- Opportunity to build next-generation aerospace technology from the ground up.

## About LAT Aerospace Private

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: LAT Aerospace is building short take-off and landing (STOL) hybrid-electric aircraft, gas turbine engines, and defence autonomy systems to enable regional air mobility and indigenous aerospace sovereignty for India.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed/Angel stage)
- **Headquarters**: Delhi, India
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Deepinder Goyal and Surobhi Das

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Aerospace & Defence (Aviation, Propulsion, Autonomy)
- **Target customers**: Government (defence), regional airlines, logistics operators, and potentially commercial passengers for short-haul routes (B2B, B2G)
- **Mission or purpose statement**: "Redefining the future of aerospace" by building three integrated programs – aircraft, propulsion, and defence – to create capabilities India should own itself. [lat.com](https://www.lat.com/)

## Products & Services
- **Aircraft – 8-Seater Hybrid-Electric STOL**: A fixed-wing, blown-wing aircraft designed for ultra-short take-off and landing from compact "air-stops" (parking-lot-sized strips). Hybrid-electric propulsion for efficiency and reduced infrastructure needs. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Gas Turbine Engine (GTE)**: In-house development of world-class gas turbine engines for both aircraft and defence applications. Focus on compressors, turbines, combustion, rotor dynamics, and digital engine control (FADEC). [lat.com/careers](https://www.lat.com/careers)
- **Defence & Autonomy Systems**: Building indigenous perception, navigation, and decision systems for unmanned and autonomous platforms. Includes the acquisition of Sharang Shakti (defence robotics startup). [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available.
- **Key Metric – Total Funding**: $20M raised in a single Angel round (April 2025, led by Deepinder Goyal). [tracxn.com](https://tracxn.com/d/companies/lat-aerospace/__FWwQ7zsT1zhy7hqcoBHbS5jW1uB0494RFZXe_6FNBho)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Deepinder Goyal (seed investor, also co-founder). Acquired Sharang Shakti (Gurgaon-based defence robotics startup) in February 2026. [linkedin.com/company/lataerospace](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lataerospace)
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew 1416.7% YoY to 39 employees; active job postings up 66.7% YoY. Successful flight test of tech demonstrator "Lat One v0.2" (July 2025). Engineering team sourced from top Indian universities and startups (e.g., Zomato, AgniKul Cosmos, Tata Advanced Systems).

## Competitive Advantages
- **Integrated Approach**: Combining aircraft design, in-house gas turbine propulsion, and autonomy/defence systems – a rare vertical integration in the Indian aerospace landscape.
- **STOL & Infrastructure-Light Model**: Aircraft that take off and land in parking-lot-sized strips, bypassing the need for expensive airport infrastructure, making regional air mobility economically viable.
- **Indigenous Focus**: Developing critical defence and propulsion technologies domestically, aligning with India's strategic sovereignty goals.
- **Founder & Team Pedigree**: Co-founded by Deepinder Goyal (Zomato) and Surobhi Das; engineering team includes talent from IITs, top aerospace companies, and competitive robotics teams.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scale Aircraft Production**: Move from tech demonstrator (Lat One) to certification and production of the 8-seater STOL aircraft.
- **Gas Turbine Engine Maturation**: Complete development of a fully indigenous gas turbine engine for both aircraft and defence use.
- **Defence Integration**: Expand autonomy capabilities via acquisition of Sharang Shakti and ongoing systems development for Indian defence needs.
- **Talent Acquisition**: Active hiring in aerospace engineering (aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, controls) and defence systems (perception, autonomy, embedded). [jobs.ashbyhq.com/lat](https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/lat)

## Why Work Here
- **Build from Scratch**: Opportunity to work on ambitious, first-principles aerospace engineering across aircraft, engines, and autonomy – with rapid prototyping and flight testing.
- **Culture & Mission**: Focus on solving hard problems for India, with a flat structure and ownership. The founders emphasize "build, break, and repeat" and seek engineers who want to "rewrite history." [lat.com/careers](https://www.lat.com/careers)
- **Work Location & Policy**: Roles are based in Bangalore, India (on-site). The nature of hardware/aircraft development requires physical presence in workshops, labs, and test sites.
- **Team & Growth**: 39 employees with strong technical depth; high growth trajectory (1416% YoY). Access to cutting-edge aerospace R&D.
- **Perks**: Not explicitly detailed, but the environment is suited for engineers and scientists passionate about aerospace, propulsion, and defence independence.
