Role Overview:

We are seeking a proactive and detail-oriented Staff RF Geolocation Engineer to lead the development of advanced passive RF geolocation capabilities for our electromagnetic warfare product line. This role is focused on deriving, implementing, and validating high-performance localization solutions that enable CHAOS’s distributed systems to detect, characterize, and geolocate non-cooperative RF emitters in complex environments. The engineer will contribute across the full algorithm lifecycle, from first-principles formulation and high-fidelity modeling through software integration, calibration, field demonstration, and validation, and will collaborate closely with Business Development, Production, and cross-functional Engineering teams.

Responsibilities: 

As a key contributor to the Spectrum Sensing Team, the Staff RF Geolocation Engineer will help redefine our spectrum sensing capabilities around high-confidence passive geolocation. The day-to-day will be diverse, hands-on, and highly technical, with direct impact on next-generation distributed sensing products. The engineer will:

• Design and derive advanced passive RF geolocation algorithms from first principles, with emphasis on TDOA, FDOA, and hybrid geolocation architectures across distributed sensor networks
• Develop coherent and non-coherent passive geolocation and imaging approaches, including phase-aligned multi-node processing for interferometric performance and robust envelope-based localization methods
• Apply statistical signal detection frameworks, including Neyman-Pearson, Bayesian, and CFAR methodologies, to maximize probability of detection across varying noise, interference, and target conditions
• Apply estimation and detection theory, including maximum likelihood estimation, error bound analysis, and linear algebraic methods, to formulate robust and analytically defensible localization solutions
• Model, simulate, and mitigate real-world nonidealities such as oscillator phase noise, timing jitter, calibration error, uncertain sensor geometry, and low-SNR operating conditions
• Develop, implement, and refine software for passive geolocation, emitter localization, and RF scene analysis using Python, MATLAB, C++, or related languages
• Translate mathematically intensive algorithms into efficient real-time implementations on DSP, GPU, or other accelerated compute architectures as system needs require
• Build high-fidelity simulation environments to evaluate geolocation accuracy, sensitivity, error budgets, and system tradeoffs before deployment
• Partner with hardware and systems engineers to define RF front-end and timing requirements by quantifying their effect on end-to-end geolocation performance
• Support algorithm integration, system calibration, test planning, and field validation in representative operational environments
• Clearly document algorithm assumptions, derivations, performance limits, and test results for internal stakeholders and external customers
• This role will require periodic travel, up to 30%.

Minimum Requirements:

• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field
• 5+ years of relevant experience developing RF signal processing, estimation, or geolocation algorithms
• Strong foundation in statistical and time-domain signal processing, detection and estimation theory, backpropagation, and applied linear algebra
• Demonstrated experience developing passive RF geolocation algorithms, such as TDOA, FDOA, multilateration, direction finding, interferometry, or hybrid localization methods
• Experience applying rigorous detection frameworks such as Neyman-Pearson, Bayesian inference, CFAR, or related methods to noisy and contested RF environments
• Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar languages for modeling, simulation, and implementation of signal processing algorithms
• Experience evaluating algorithm performance under real-world impairments, including low SNR, synchronization error, sensor geometry uncertainty, or interference
• Ability to translate theoretical models into practical software suitable for integration with RF/SDR hardware and production code bases
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly document technical approaches, assumptions, and performance results
• Must be able to work on-site 3-5 days per week in Hawthorne, CA or Washington, D.C.
• U.S. citizen
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance

Preferred Requirements:  

• M.S. or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field
