Radar Embedded Engineer (all Genders)
Embedded Engineer
Join our mission to revolutionize automotive sensing with cutting-edge radar technology. At Zendar, we are building high-resolution radar systems that enable the next generation of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. As part of our radar development team, you will play a central role in shaping the intelligence inside our sensor – where embedded systems meet high-performance signal processing. We are looking for a passionate and curious Embedded Engineer who thrives on pushing the boundaries of what's technically possible. This is your chance to develop software that runs on complex, high-performance radar systems and impacts the future of mobility. You will contribute directly to the development of Zendar's radar platform, with responsibilities spanning architecture, implementation, integration, and testing. Your work will connect hardware and software, enabling radar sensors that see the world in unprecedented detail. We are a team of engineers, researchers, and innovators redefining what radar can do. You'll work with global experts in radar, perception, and embedded systems, in an open and collaborative environment. At Zendar, you're not just writing firmware – you're helping machines understand the world.
