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.
Growing DS all starts with the success of our Growth function. Roles in this department cover business development, government relations, mission operations, and strategy. They all drive impact.
This posting is not for a single, immediately open role but a way for us to meet people who want to own meaningful pieces of our Growth Department roadmap over the coming quarters. By applying, you’re raising your hand to be considered for future-based Growth roles as they open up, from strategy and operations to hands-on campaign and channel ownership.
Candidates may not be contacted right away; instead, we revisit this talent pool regularly and will reach out when there’s a specific opportunity that aligns with your experience and timing.
