SystemsIntegrationEngineer

DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more. Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact. We work with high ownership and trust, and we do it together in the office 5 days/week. Distributed Spectrum is building a passive RF sensing system for maritime domain awareness and related mission areas. The system is not a single piece of software or hardware. It is a stack: sensors with embedded compute and RF hardware, a datapath and processing pipeline, a sensor management and command-and-control layer, and a user-facing interface. Making all of that work together, reliably, in a lab and in the field, is the job of the Systems Integration Engineer. This role is genuinely split between lab and field. Some of the time you are in our facility in New York, building test infrastructure, running integration tests, and chasing down bugs. Some of the time you are in the field, deploying sensors, running experiments, and operating the system in the kinds of conditions our customers will encounter. WHAT YOU WILL WORK ON Lab Integration and Test - Build and maintain the hardware-in-the-loop test infrastructure for validating end-to-end system behavior. This is the framework that catches fa
