FPGA Engineer - Radar
About Alta Ares
Alta Ares is an air defense Neoprime. We build AI-guided interceptors to counter drones and cruise missiles, along with the software platform that powers them.
Our customers are NATO-aligned militaries and defense institutions, and our systems are regularly deployed during live exercises and operational demonstrations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia.
Founded in 2024, we have grown to 90 people, raised over $60M, and increased revenue 40× this year. We are now entering a new phase of international expansion, industrial scaling, fundraising, and product development.
Role & Mission
Turn radar sensing requirements into FPGA designs that support reliable drone detection in operational conditions.
Define how radar data is acquired, processed, and delivered to the rest of the system, working across RF, electronics, and software teams.
Establish processing budgets and select implementation approaches based on detection performance, latency, numerical accuracy, and available FPGA resources.
Develop reference models to study radar behavior in noise and clutter and guide hardware design decisions.
Build reusable RTL functions fo
