Company

hirify.global develops AI-enabled sensing solutions based on low-SWaP-C radar, RF sensing, and real-time edge processing for detecting and recognizing objects.

What you will do

• Use real radar data to characterize system performance and tune, select, and develop algorithms.
• Develop and maintain C++ software for signal processing, detection, tracking, and control.
• Design low-latency, deterministic systems meeting strict timing and reliability requirements.
• Architect clear, testable, and maintainable software components.
• Investigate hardware-software cause-and-effect relationships and debug issues across system boundaries.
• Support radar software integration and testing in laboratory and field environments.

Requirements

• 5–7 years of relevant work experience.
• Strong proficiency in C++ and object-oriented software design.
• Deep understanding of real-time constraints, including latency, determinism, scheduling, and concurrency.
• Ability to design experiments, define meaningful metrics, and use data to draw clear conclusions.
• Understanding of how hardware, software, and algorithms produce results in the field.
• Experience with multidimensional data analysis and a data-driven problem-solving approach.
• Ability to communicate technical ideas and results clearly, verbally and in writing.
• Degree in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, or a related engineering field.
• Legally authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship; eligibility to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance may be required.

Nice to have

• Understanding of or hands-on experience with signal processing and RF sensor or communication systems.
• Experience with first-principles-based modeling and simulation for system-data investigations or feature development.
• Experience with Modern C++ 11+.
• Curiosity about radar technology and the physics behind sensor measurements, persistence in difficult investigations, and collaborative feedback-oriented work.

Culture & Benefits

• Collaborative environment emphasizing constructive feedback.
• Work includes laboratory and field integration, testing, and occasional travel under 10%.
• Role supports restricted environments involving the U.S. Government.
