- Excellent teamwork and communication skills
- Learn new concepts rapidly, completely, and in a self-directed manner
- High levels of self-motivation and personal accountability
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment under significant time constraints
- Proficiency in Python, C/C++, or MATLAB
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Advanced degree with emphasis in radar image formation
- Familiarity with SAR image formation algorithms
- Familiarity with SAR collection modes and motion compensation concepts
- Experience deploying radar algorithms into production pipelines
- Familiarity with modern software development practices (version control, code review, continuous integration, etc)
- Familiarity with SAR collection geometries and implications (crossing node interferometry, multi-baseline interferometry)
- Familiarity with SAR interferogram processing
- Familiarity with tomographic aspects of SAR and related concepts such as holographic principles, critical baseline, etc.
- Familiarity with multi-dimensional inverse SAR and related optimization methods
