What we’re looking for

We are looking for a hands-on RF Engineer to design, build, and validate mission-critical RF subsystems at the core of our products. In this role, you will own RF architectures from concept to field deployment, developing robust links for telemetry, control, and low-latency video. You will work close to real hardware and real-world constraints, directly shaping system performance and reliability.

The day-to-day

Own the RF architecture: Design and integrate RF subsystems in the 1–10 GHz range for telemetry, control, and digital video links.
Build from the ground up: Develop RF front-ends (mixers, filters, LNAs, PAs, up/downconversion) and complete receive chains.
Master antennas & links: Design and integrate antennas, tuners, and receiver systems—from schematic to validated field performance.
Run the lab: Set up and operate advanced RF and mixed-signal measurement environments (VNA, spectrum, noise, timing, power).
Optimize real-time video over RF: Tune low-latency H.264/H.265 pipelines for robustness, range, and minimal delay.
Test where it matters: Validate and iterate RF and link performance in real-world field conditions, working closely with cross-functional teams.

You should apply if you

RF engineering background: Degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, or similar, plus strong hands-on RF experience close to real hardware.
End-to-end ownership: You take full responsibility for complex subsystems from first schematic to validated field deployment.
Empirical mindset: You move fast: measure, analyze, iterate, practical results over theoretical perfection.
Decisive & resilient: You make and defend technical decisions under pressure, even with tight constraints.
Built for real-world performance: You are driven by robustness, signal quality, and systems that reliably perform outside the lab.
Language skills: English is required; German is a plus.

Nice to haves

FPGA & signal processing: Experience with FPGA-based RF or video pipelines (e.g. Xilinx, Intel, basic HDL).
Antenna & EM simulation: Familiar with tools like HFSS, CST, FEKO or comparable EM environments.
Mission-critical domain experience: Background in UAV, aerospace, defense, or other safety-critical systems.

What we offer

Real impact & ownership: Shape high-tech defense systems and take responsibility from day one.
Mission-driven environment: Work on technologies that matter for European security and sovereignty.
Competitive package: Competitive salary, EGYM Wellpass, corporate benefits, and equity options aligned with role and level.
Deep tech environment: Get hands-on experience with cutting-edge drone technology and real operational use cases.
Grow fast: Steep learning curve for juniors, strategic influence and leadership opportunities for seniors.
Startup mindset meets defence innovation: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, and space for your ideas.
Flexibility: Flexible hours, remote options, and relocation support.
Strong team: International, driven colleagues and a culture built on exchange, trust, and shared success.
