You'll own the production signal chain: making it deterministic, real-time, and reliable in contested RF environments. This role will focus on implementing and refining algorithms to run consistently on the target hardware within the latency, power, and thermal budgets, with the adequate test coverage and validation. You'll have real ownership of your work, the problems are challenging, and your teammates hold themselves to a high standard. ## Responsibilities - Production-izing detection, classification, tracking, and direction-finding/geolocation algorithms for target hardware (NVIDIA Jetson, FPGA, SDR) within fixed compute, memory, latency, and power budgets - Building regression and characterization test suites that validate signal-chain performance against real and synthetic data - Accounting for the behavior and inconsistencies of the target RF hardware in your algorithm design - Making algorithms robust against real-world conditions: interference, multipath, dense emitter environments, dropouts, calibration drift, and temperature - Doing the fixed-point/quantization, profiling, and optimization work needed to hit real-time on embedded targets - Defining and tracking performance metrics (Pd/Pfa, sensitivity, DF accuracy, latency) as product acceptance criteria - Supporting field test, reproducing field issues in the lab, and owning root cause through fix ## Qualifications - BS/MS in mathematics, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or related technical field - Broad understanding of RF hardware effects, and intricacies of coherent and non-coherent systems - Solid RF signal processing fundamentals: detection, estimation, the full transmit/receive chain - Demonstrated track record shipping DSP into a product or fielded system - Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for analysis, and C/C++ for production code - Comfort working under embedded/real-time constraints, with profiling and optimization - Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance; U.S. person required Nice-to-Have - FMCW/automotive radar chains, MIMO arrays and subspace AoA estimation, or SAR production chains (backprojection, polar formatting, range migration) - Fixed-point DSP implementation; FPGA or GPU/CUDA acceleration - Test automation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) for signal processing - Experience fielding the same core technology in seemingly independent con-ops ## 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.
