Algorithms Engineer
Wavetronix seeks a highly motivated full-time algorithms engineer with a solid background in digital signal processing, algorithms, and embedded systems. The algorithms engineer will research, design, and develop signal processing algorithms for radar sensors to evaluate their application-specific performance. This will include implementation and optimization of the proposed algorithms in memory limited embedded processor platforms.
This position is a key role in ensuring that our products are developed to high quality standards. He or she will help the company meet aggressive development schedules. The person chosen for the position will positively contribute as team member in a high functioning team environment.
A successful Algorithms Engineer will accomplish the following:
Within 90 Days: Develop a deep understanding of current Wavetronix radars with a focus on the signal processing algorithms and embedded architecture. Demonstrate key sensor functions, including speed algorithms, detection, and tracking methodology. Show sensor interface with traffic controllers, traffic rack cards, back end systems and user interfaces. Also, facilitate other engineers with data collection and analysis.
Year 1: Research, develop, and test algorithms for target parameter estimation, and then implement the optimized signal processing algorithms in C/C++ on an embedded platform. Develop expertise in how sensor hardware interfaces with other traffic devices and systems. Complete a minor release of sensor firmware.
Beyond Year 1: Develop a solid foundation in both algorithms as well as embedded development for radar sensors. Propose new sensor features. Mentor other individuals to help improve the overall success of the team
