- Partner with integrators and government end users during integration events and demonstrations, and turn issues found in those environments into durable product improvements.
- Work directly with operators, test engineers, and customers to translate real workflows into features and validate shipped functionality.
- Establish frontend fundamentals as the product grows, including component architecture, testing, build and release tooling, telemetry, and error reporting.
- Support field testing and deployments, including on-site debugging of the full stack from sensor to screen.
- Collaborate with radar, embedded software, hardware, program management, and senior leadership teams.
- Experience with browser graphics programming, including WebGL, WebGPU, Canvas, or a rendering library built on them, for large or continuously updating datasets.
- Experience with real-time, high-performance digital signal processing or sensor data visualization, including waterfall displays, spectrograms, radar imagery, or sonar imagery.
- Experience with mapping and geospatial visualization stacks such as Mapbox GL, deck.gl, or Cesium.
- Hands-on experience with the TAK ecosystem, including ATAK or WinTAK plugin development, TAK Server deployment or federation, Cursor on Target message design, or data package workflows.
- Familiarity with interoperability and messaging standards used across defense and autonomy systems, including STANAG 4676, ASTERIX, MISB/KLV, KML, GeoJSON, MQTT, ROS 2, or MAVLink.
- Experience with Dart and Flutter, or a comparable cross-platform framework, for building tablet and handheld clients used alongside web applications in the field.
- Experience with browser streaming technologies such as WebSockets, WebRTC, or WebTransport and binary protocols such as Protobuf or FlatBuffers.
- Experience with multithreaded browser development using Web Workers, WebAssembly, or SharedArrayBuffer.
- Experience developing and maintaining reusable TypeScript libraries or internal design systems.
- Experience building software for defense, aerospace, autonomy, or other operational environments.
About the company
SoloPulse develops deep-tech radar sensing by using proprietary wave theory algorithms to greatly improve resolution and speed. Its core product is a sensor that can detect objects across all ranges simultaneously using a single electromagnetic pulse, and it can be added to existing radar systems through a firmware update rather than full hardware changes. This makes it easier and cheaper for customers, offering about ten times higher resolution and thousandfold faster processing, with a dual-use focus on commercial markets like ADAS and defense. The company aims to broaden radar perception across automotive, robotics, surveillance, and smart devices by making high-resolution sensing practical and affordable.

Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- SoloPulse raised $7.15 million in January 2025 from First Spark Venture and Georgia Tech Foundation.
- Army xTechIgnite opens Army SBIR pathways worth up to $2 million.
- Recent hiring across DSP, systems, and software roles shows active expansion.
What critics are saying
- The core radar rewrite remains unproven outside selective demos and competitions.
- Huntsville clearance-heavy hiring signals defense dependence before automotive revenue materializes.
- A failed product pivot after the January 2025 seed round would threaten survival.
What makes SoloPulse unique
- SoloPulse won Army xTechIgnite in July 2025 for ADAS radar.
- Its firmware-upgrade pitch targets existing radar stacks, not full sensor replacements.
- Atlanta roots with Georgia Tech, DARPA, and First Spark Ventures reinforce credibility.
