Radar / RF Engineer

Radar / RF Engineer

Location: Berlin (Onsite)Job type: Permanent Role SummaryWe are seeking a skilled Radar / RF Engineer to design, develop, integrate, and optimise radar and RF subsystems for our Counter-UAV perception stack.

You will translate system requirements into robust RF architectures, from antenna design and waveform definition through to signal processing and real-time integration. Working closely with hardware, perception, and engineering teams, you will deliver sensing capabilities that detect, track, and classify aerial targets with precision. Onsite work in Berlin and NATO member state citizenship are mandatory.Key ResponsibilitiesRF & Radar System Design: Define radar architecture, frequency selection, waveform design, link budgets, and performance requirements aligned with detection and tracking objectivesHardware Integration & Validation: Specify, evaluate, and integrate radar transceivers, antennas, RF front-ends, and supporting components; conduct bench and field validation of RF performance, range, resolution, and interference immunitySignal Processing: Develop and optimise radar signal processing pipelines — including pulse compression, Doppler processing, CFAR detection, angle-of-arrival estimation, and target extraction — in close collaboration with perception engineersSensing & Fusion: Generate calibrated target measurements to support multi-sensor fusion; align radar outputs with thermal/IR, laser, and inertial data to improve track stability and accuracyCompliance & Robustness: Ensure RF design meets regulatory, emission, and environmental hardening standards; address clutter, multipath, and interference in real-world conditionsDocumentation & Collaboration: Maintain clear design rationale, specifications, test results, and performance limits; advise cross-functional teams on radar capabilities and constraintsRequired Qualifications5+ years’ experience in radar systems design, RF engineering, or active sensor developmentDeep understanding of radar principles, waveforms, Doppler, detection theory, and RF propagationHands-on experience with radar hardware — frequency bands, transceivers, antennas, and integrationProficiency in radar signal processing and measurement calibrationStrong Python; C++ development experience for real-time deploymentExperience deploying radar or RF systems into operational/field environmentsAbility to collaborate across hardware, perception, and controls disciplinesAvailability for onsite work in Berlin; NATO member state citizenshipDesirable CriteriaExperience with FMCW, pulsed, or compact low-SWaP radar for small/UAS targetsKnowledge of RF simulation and measurement toolsMulti-sensor fusion or tracking-system integration experienceEdge-compute deployment and real-time performance optimisationFormal qualification in Electrical Engineering, RF Systems, or equivalent.If this opportunity aligns with your expertise and professional ambitions, we would be delighted to hear from you.
