What you'll do

• Select, design, and integrate RF hardware including SDRs, antennas, filters, LNAs, power amplifiers, and front-end modules
• Define system-level requirements and ensure RF systems meet performance, environmental, and regulatory standards
• Develop robust communication architectures for UAV command, control, telemetry, and payload data transfer
• Support the design and integration of electronic warfare functions such as signal detection, jamming, spoofing, and RF hardening
• Perform RF simulations, link budget calculations, and range performance modeling
• Plan and execute lab testing, range validation, and flight trials of RF systems
• Ensure compliance with NATO STANAGs, MIL standards, and relevant frequency allocation regulations

What you'll need

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related discipline
• Experience in RF systems design, ideally in aerospace, defense, or tactical communications
• Solid experience with software-defined radios, RF front-end design, and antenna system integration
• Knowledge of RF propagation, modulation schemes, spectral efficiency, and interference mitigation
• Familiar with RF test equipment and RF design/simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, MATLAB
• Understanding of EMC/EMI principles and ruggedization of RF systems for harsh environments
• Eligible for security clearance or already holds one
• Fluent in English; German is beneficial
