io is a leading weather intelligence and climate resilience platform helping organizations and governments make better decisions in a world of increasing weather volatility. io delivers hyper‑local weather insights that protect lives, strengthen operations, and build climate resilience globally. Our space program is core to this mission.

We are building and operating a weather observation constellation powered by internally developed software‑defined radars — transforming how atmospheric data is captured and used worldwide. We’re looking for a Radar Engineer to support the design, integration, test, and validation of ground and flight radar payload hardware and software . This role is implementation-focused, translating system concepts into working hardware, firmware, and integrated test setups.

The Radar Engineer will work closely with senior engineers and scientists on a team responsible for the development, testing, and infrastructure setup of ground and flight radar systems.

What You’Ll Do

Support transition of radar systems from near-field to far-field validation Contribute to payload integration in a transportable test platform Implement and test radar signal processing chains (Beamforming, Calibration workflows, Pulse compression) Support final design, procurement, and test of radar subsystems Participate in acceptance testing, environmental testing, and bring-up Support flight radar Software Defined Radio (SDR) development and validation Assist in test plans and verification of manufactured SDR units Support standup of payload-level integration and test infrastructure Assist with full payload assembly, checkout, and regression testing Maintain integration procedures, test reports, and configuration documentation What You Bring BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or similar 2+ years of hands-on experience with RF or digital hardware integration (Ka-band or mmWave RF systems is preferred) Familiarity with radar systems or phased-array architectures (Ideally with Beamforming implementation, phased-array calibration, SDR platforms, and FPGA-based receivers/exciters) Familiar with lab test equipment (VNA, spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope) Comfort working with embedded systems, Linux environments, and scripting Comfort learning complex systems incrementally and developing intuition through hands-on data analysis and testing Ability to work effectively within a mixed team of engineers and scientists, with respect for different technical perspectives Willingness to move fluidly between theory, simulation, and real system behavior Clear technical communication skills, including explaining assumptions, limitations, and trade-offs If your experience is close but doesn’t fulfill all
