As AI writes more of the world's code, the bottleneck in software has shifted from writing code to verifying it works, and AI cannot verify its own work with certainty. Code Metal takes a fundamentally different approach: constrain AI to what it does reliably, verify every step independently of the model using formal methods, and keep engineers in the loop on the decisions that matter. The result isn't code that probably works - it's code that is provably correct, with auditable proof. Customers including the U.S. Air Force, L3Harris, RTX, and Toshiba use Code Metal to modernize legacy code, optimize performance on real hardware, and move prototypes to production, fast. Founded in 2023 with offices in Boston and San Francisco, Code Metal is funded by Accel, Salesforce Ventures, B Capital, Smith Point Capital, J2 Ventures, Shield Capital, Overmatch, RTX, and others. \nLearn more at codemetal.ai.\nIn June 2026, Code Metal acquired Signal Processing Technologies (SPT) and formed Code Metal’s Advanced RF group from SPT’s employees, intellectual property, and contracts. Since 2019, SPT has been solving some of the Department of War’s hardest signal processing challenges, from early-stage DARPA research through productization.\nAbout The Role:\nThe role is for someone to join the Advanced RF group leadership team executing programs and helping in the technical aspects of winning new business. This role is ideal for someone who is an expert in one or more of the Advanced RF group’s core signal processing focus technologies: Communication, Spectrum Awareness (e.g., Signals Intelligence, Spectrum Sensing, Direction Finding, Geolocation, etc.), Electronic Warfare, Radar systems. The ideal candidate has direct experience working with the US Government (USG) building technology for these applications and will be able to confidently represent the Advanced RF group’s technology at customers meetings, as well as lead, and individually contribute technically to programs. The candidate is expected to be proficient at communicating technical information to potential customers in person or in writing. \nResponsibilities:\nMust be an expert in one or more to the key focus areas of the Advanced RF Group: Communication, Spectrum Awareness (e.g., Signals Intelligence, Spectrum Sensing, Direction Finding, Geolocation, etc.), Electronic Warfare, Radar Technology.\n\nRepresent the Advanced RF group in customer meetings.\n\nLead technology development on Advanced RF Group programs as team lead.\n\nContribute individually to technology development on programs and pursuits.\n\nWrite proposals to win new business.\n\nRequirements:\nBachelor’s degree or equivalent experience (Master’s/Phd degrees a plus).\n\nKnowledgeable on Digital Signal Processing and Machine Learning fundamentals.\n\nAble to leverage existing AI Coding Large Language Model tools in their everyday workflow.\n\nProficient in using Python to prototype algorithms.\n\nKnowledgeable in other programs languages such as C++, C, Matlab, VHDL is a plus.\n\nExceptional relationship building, communication, negotiation, and strategic planning skills.\n\nU.S. Citizen required.\n\nMinimum Requirements:\nActive U.S. security clearance or ability to obtain a clearance.\n\nTravel Requirements:\nUp to 20%.\n\nBenefits\nPay depends on experience, but we strive to be at the upper end of the salary range\n\nHealth care plan with 100% premium coverage, including medical, dental, and vision\n\n401k with 5% matching\n\nPaid Time Off (uncapped vacation, plus sick and public holidays)\n\nFlexible hybrid or remote work arrangement\n\nRelocation assistance for qualifying employees\n\nWage Transparency - The salary range for this role is not a guarantee of compensation or salary, as the final offer amount may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, individual proficiency, skills, experience, and location.\nWe are an equal opportunity employer.
