Job Description

Principal Signal Processing Researcher

STR

About the Team: The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems and platforms in support of national security requirements. Our particular focus areas include airborne/spaceborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing. To support these missions, the Division’s efforts span multiple technical areas, including RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, systems analysis, and real-time embedded processor implementation. The Algorithms, Processing and Experimentation (APEX) Group specializes in development of RF/radar modes, skills and applications, with particular emphasis on advanced signal processing chains and associated algorithm research. We mature these technologies with the objective of implementation, integration, and eventual utility in RF-based systems, typically tailoring our work for highly specific Defense (e.g., Air Force, Space Force, Navy, DARPA, etc.) and Intelligence Community needs. About the Role: As a Principal Signal Processing Researcher, you will create and lead technical teams that develop, test, integrate, and demonstrate novel signal processing, optimization, and machine learning algorithms for advanced electronic warfare and sensor applications. A successful candidate will have demonstrated leadership skills and substantial expertise in several of the following areas: optimization, electronic warfare, adaptive signal processing, machine learning, algorithm development, algorithm integration, test & evaluation, model & simulation, systems engineering, radar systems, or communications systems. This position requires skills working as part of and leading multi-disciplinary teams designing, analyzing, integrating, and demonstrating signal processing algorithms for complex systems. What you will do: - Develop electronic warfare and radar system concepts, signal processing and machine learning algorithms, and RF solutions to remote sensing challenges - Provide technical leadership to small, multi-disciplinary teams that develop, implement, test, and integrate novel sensing, electronic warfare, and signal processing systems - Direct Modeling and Simulation activities of advanced RF systems in support of algorithm development, test, and integration - Plan and support algorithm test and evaluation activities, including performance assessment in laboratory and field environments - Clearly communicate with customers, stakeholders, sponsors, prime- and subcontractors Who you are: - Active Security Clearance, with eligibility to support special access programs, for which US Citizenship is required by the US government - PhD, MS, or BS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related technical discipline with 8–10+ years of relevant experience depending on degree - Strong scientific programming skills including Matlab, Python, Simulink and/or C/C++ - Strong communication skills and the ability to describe complex technical concepts to fellow researchers as well as to non-technical people - Ability to translate customer requirements to determine research focus - Ability to create and present deep technical briefings as well as high-level briefings to Customers and senior management - Experience with designing, implementing, testing, and analyzing ML/AI algorithms - Strong understanding of radar architectures, waveforms, modes, and RF signal chains Even Better: - Current TS/SSBI with SCI and ability to gain and hold SCI/SAP accreditations - Experience with advanced RF system concepts, signal processing, open architectures, and systems integration - Experience in Software Development - Ability to survey literature to determine state-of-the-art, incorporate recent research, and transition it into integrated, tested solutions - Understanding and experience interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end, integrated analytical solution Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $206,000 - $284,000 The salary range listed is based on external market data. Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate’s experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions. STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, and Carlsbad, CA.

Full TimeRemoteTeam 201-500

You could work anywhere. Why Jerry.ai? - Join a Forbes Top Startup Employer with $240M in funding and 60X revenue growth in 6 years. - Partner closely with our Legal Counsel and team mates from companies like Nvidia, Amazon, McKinsey, Bain, BCG, etc. - Thrive in a true meritocracy - we promote based on performance, not tenure. - Gain hands-on legal experience and accelerate your growth within a high-performing company. About the opportunity: Are you an ambitious, aspiring legal professional looking to accelerate your career in-house at a high growth startup? As a Legal Researcher at Jerry.ai, you’ll be embedded in the business from day one, working closely with our Legal Counsel, and collaborating directly with our executive leadership team. This role is designed for high-performing law graduates who want to build a rigorous, high-impact legal career outside the traditional law firm path. This is not a task-based or purely research role. You will be expected to exercise independent judgment, translate legal ambiguity into practical decisions, and take end-to-end ownership of meaningful workstreams. If you’re resourceful, driven, and excited about building a foundation for a high-impact legal career at the intersection of law, business, and technology, we’d love to hear from you! This is a fully remote full-time role with options to work onsite (we have offices in Palo Alto, Toronto, and New York). What you’ll do: - Own Corporate Compliance & Governance: Manage entity compliance across U.S. and Canada jurisdictions. You’ll identify risks proactively and implement systems to prevent lapses – not just react to deadlines. - Lead Legal Research & Applied Analysis: Conduct structured legal research on regulatory, consumer protection, and product-related issues. Synthesize findings into clear, actionable recommendations for business stakeholders – not just memos. - Drive Resolution of Complex Issues: Serve as a first-line owner for nuanced consumer escalations and regulatory inquiries. Investigate root cause, assess legal exposure, propose practical and scalable solutions, and spearhead compliance training initiatives that elevate our entire work force. - Partner Cross-functionally on Product & Compliance: Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to review features, flows, and policies for legal and regulatory compliance. Help translate legal requirements into operational and product decisions. - Strengthen IP and Protect the Brand: Monitor potential infringements and support enforcement strategies, including drafting and initiating cease-and-desist workflows. - Run Tight Audits: Lead our compliance audits across operations. You’ll proactively monitor key risk areas, ensuring our practices don’t just meet baseline regulatory standards, but set the industry benchmark for excellence. - Build Systems, Not Just Outputs: Identify repetitive or manual legal work and design scalable solutions using AI and low-code tools, automation, or process improvements. Contribute to building a legal function that is efficient, tech-enabled, and forward-looking. Ideal profile: - Academic Excellence: Strong background in law, whether through a Bachelor’s degree, JD, LLM, or PhD in a legal field. - Driver Mindset: A proven track record of extreme resourcefulness. You are the type of person who finds the answer before asking the question. You have an innate need to close loops. - Product & Tech Savvy: You have an interest in using AI/technology to optimize workflows. You prefer a spreadsheet or an automated tool over a manual checklist. - Impeccable Attention to Detail: You have a "zero-error" mentality when it comes to regulatory filings and compliance audits. You have the organizational rigor to ensure no deadline or cross-functional project ever slips through the cracks. - Thrive in High-Performance Environments: You’re comfortable with ambiguity and operate with a deep sense of urgency. You take full ownership of your output. While we appreciate your interest and application, only applicants under consideration will be contacted.
