Radar System Engineer

Teradar is pioneering a new era in perception with the world’s first automotive terahertz vision sensor, delivering ultra-high resolution imaging in any weather condition. Founded in Boston, Teradar’s solid-state, chip-scale technology unlocks safer, smarter vehicles and opens the door to transformative applications in mobility, defense, and beyond.

You’ll work cross-functionally with IC design, antenna/array, signal processing, PCB, packaging, and software teams to support system integration, testing, and characterization of internally developed mmWave ICs. You’ll also play a key role in improving performance, measurement techniques, and scaling system testing.

Most days will involve hands-on debugging and OTA testing of chips and subsystems; others will focus on developing new calibration and test methods and driving implementation logistics. Your work will be central to the technical success and scale-up of the company’s next-gen radar platform.

Location: Seaport, Boston MA
