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 hiring a Product Systems Engineer to lead the integration, hardening, and validation that transforms a validated prototype to a shippable product. You'll have real ownership of your work, the problems are challenging, and your teammates hold themselves to a high standard. ## Responsibilities - Understanding of full system integration from end-to-end: RF front end → digital → signal processing → state estimation → output - Hardening for environment and reliability (shock, vibration, thermal, and EMI/EMC), including designing, running, and validating the test campaigns (MIL-STD-810/461 where applicable) - Driving production transition and NPI: design-for-manufacturing and design-for-test, build documentation, test fixtures, and bring-up procedures that external parties can follow - Decomposing requirements, controlling interfaces (ICDs), and verifying them, with traceability from customer requirement to test result - Owning field deployment and platform integration (i.e aerial and ground vehicles), including failures when they happen and driving the fix - Identifying and building the test infrastructure (benches, fixtures, automated acceptance) that enables the team to ship reliably ## Qualifications - Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other technical field - 6+ years of demonstrated experience integrating real hardware-plus-software systems that shipped or deployed - RF systems literacy: link budgets, antenna and signal-chain trades, RF payload integration - Hands-on experience across C/C++, Python, electronics, networking, CAD, fabrication, and mechanical assembly - Test and validation discipline; the ability to design tests that find problems before deployment - Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance; U.S. person required Nice-to-have Qualifications - MIL-STD environmental and EMC/EMI test experience - New product introduction / production transition experience - Platform integration experience (UAS, ground vehicles) ## 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.
