Signal processing, geolocation and orbit analysis systems for U.S. defense
Rincon Research builds signal collection, geolocation and orbit-analysis systems for U.S. defense and intelligence customers. Its stack spans the full depth from VHDL, FPGA and CUDA hardware work through C++/Python DSP code to Kubernetes-on-AWS cloud processing, with Ghidra and IDA Pro pointing to reverse-engineering capability. Hiring is accelerating, senior-heavy and almost entirely engineering, with active work on LLM integration into mission systems.
Rincon Research Corporation is a privately held company founded in 1983 and headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, with 201–500 employees. It designs, builds, tests and fields digital signal processing products and services for U.S. defense and intelligence agencies. Its capabilities cover signals collection and analysis, GPS-based geolocation, orbit analysis, high-performance and distributed computing, and high-speed electronics production. The company has also supported NASA ground-system programs. Its hiring is concentrated in the United States.
Rincon uses C++, Python, Go, CUDA, VHDL and FPGA for signal processing, plus AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, Elasticsearch and front ends in React, Vue and Angular.
Yes. Hiring is accelerating and dominated by engineering roles, mostly at senior level, with smaller openings in security and operations, all in the United States.
Current work includes signal processing and geolocation algorithms, orbit determination and constellation management, real-time cloud processing, and integrating LLMs into mission systems.
