The company's products are powered by Coherent Distributed Networks (CDN™), empowering warfighters, commercial air operators, and border protection teams to act faster, adapt rapidly, and stay ahead of evolving threats. \nCHAOS Industries was founded in 2022 and has raised a total of $1 billion in funding from leading investors, including 8VC, Accel, and Valor Equity Partners. The company is headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices in Washington, D.C., San Francisco, San Diego, and London. For more information, please visit www.chaosinc.com.\nRole Overview: \nYou’ll join the systems engineering team working across London and Los Angeles, in support of deployments of our radars across Europe and the Middle East.\nOur Mission team deploys and operates the systems on customer sites; you own how they perform. You’ll build deep expertise in how our radars behave in the real world, and turn data from live deployments and field testing into tuning, calibration, and product improvements.\nWhat You’ll Do:\nDeployed Performance - own radar performance for systems in the field. Diagnose RF, detection, and tracking problems on live deployments, and turn what you find into concrete fixes.\nTuning & Calibration - calibrate, configure, and tune radar modes for the environments we operate in, and become the expert on how our products behave in the real world.\nPerformance Analysis - characterise detection, tracking, and false-alarm performance against truth data. Quantify what the system does and find where it falls short.\nField Testing - plan and lead test campaigns and data collections, then analyse the results and turn the findings into product improvements.\nTooling & Enablement - build the tooling, diagnostics, and playbooks that let Mission team engineers independently deploy, tune, and troubleshoot in the field, using AI coding tools to build and ship faster than a team your size otherwise could.\nSystems Engineering - contribute to requirements, specifications, and acceptance criteria across both sides of the V, grounded in what you’ve seen deployed.\nWhat We’re Looking For:\nWe’re looking for engineers with real depth in radar who are excited by hard technical problems and systems that matter. You don’t need every specialism listed below - we value strong fundamentals, curiosity, and the ability to learn quickly.\nYou’ll thrive in this role if you:\nHave several years of hands-on radar systems experience, with a deep understanding of radar principles and modes.\nUnderstand the signal processing chain well enough to reason about it end to end - waveform design, matched filtering, Doppler processing, detection, and clutter rejection.\nHave hands-on experience calibrating RF systems and measuring their performance.\nEnjoy digging into radar data to work out why a system behaves the way it does.\nAre fluent in Python.\nAre AI-native - you reach for coding agents and AI tools by default, get real leverage from them, and have a considered view on what to delegate to them and what not to.\nBring systems engineering experience with RF systems, across both sides of the V.\nAre comfortable working in the field, on customer sites, and under operational pressure.\nCommunicate well with people outside your own discipline, technical or not.\nRequirements:\nRight to work in the UK.\nWillingness to travel. You’ll be based in our Soho office in London.\nExpect to travel around 25% of the time, in blocks around deployments and test campaigns across Europe and the Middle East, plus time co-locating with the systems engineering team in Los Angeles.\nEligible for UK security clearance.\nWhy CHAOS?\n Health Benefits: private medical, dental and vision benefits (for employees & dependents) will be 100% paid for by the company\nAdditional benefits: 5% pension match, life insurance, Cycle to Work Scheme, and more\nOur Perks: Free daily lunch, ‘No meeting Fridays’, unlimited PTO, casual dress code\nCompensation Components: competitive base salaries, generous pre-IPO stock option grants, relocation assistance + annual bonuses\n Team Growth: 350+ employees and counting across 5 global offices\nThe stated compensation range reflects only the targeted base compensation range and excludes additional earnings such as bonus, equity, and benefits. If your compensation requirements fall outside of the range, we still encourage you to apply. The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary offer may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. \nRecruiting Agencies: CHAOS Industries does not accept unsolicited resumes or outreach. Unsolicited submissions will not be reviewed or compensated.\n#LI-onsite","description_format":"text","description_chars":4908,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Annual bonuses","Equity","Life insurance","Relocation assistance","Unlimited PTO"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":true,"industries":["Air Defense"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-29T08:16:43Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":79,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.881,"p_room":0.9,"age_days":19,"expected_fill_days":56,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:mid","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-19T05:45:15Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/chaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/chaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-19T21:15:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":365,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-20T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":449716},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=449716"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/chaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fchaos-industries-senior-radar-systems-engineer"}]}
