RF Systems / SDR Engineer (Middle / Senior)

$$
๐Ÿช– DefTech Product

We integrate automation, AI, and robotics to build security and defense solutions. Our focus is intelligent systems combining embedded software, computer vision, and edge-AI for autonomous platforms.

 

We're looking for an engineer driven by the radio spectrum โ€” from spectral analysis to real-time drone signal detection. You'll work with SDR platforms and radar sensors, write DSP pipelines, and collect data.

 

What you'll be doing:

  • Working with SDR platforms (HackRF, USRP, LimeSDR, RTL-SDR) โ€” capturing, analyzing, and processing radio signals;
  • Developing DSP pipelines for real-time UAV signal detection, classification, and direction finding;
  • Analyzing the spectrum and building signal features for further ML model training;
  • Collecting, labeling, and validating radio datasets โ€” laying the foundation for models;
  • Working at the intersection of radio and radar โ€” integrating data from radar sensors into a shared detection pipeline;
  • Writing in Python and C++ for real-time signal processing;
  • Researching and prototyping new approaches to drone detection โ€” this is R&D, not maintenance of something ready-made;
  • Working alongside ML engineers to ensure detection models perform reliably on real-world data.

     

Technical skills

Required:

  • Understanding of radio engineering fundamentals โ€” modulation (AM/FM/PSK/OFDM), frequency bands, antennas, signal propagation;
  • DSP โ€” confident command of digital signal processing: FFT, filtering, spectral analysis, correlation;
  • SDR experience โ€” hands-on practice with HackRF / USRP / LimeSDR / RTL-SDR (not just theory);
  • Python โ€” confident coding for signal processing and data handling (NumPy, SciPy);
  • C++ โ€” for real-time signal processing and high-performance pipelines;
  • Linux โ€” comfortable in the terminal, system utilities, SSH;
  • Middle / Senior level โ€” ability to independently drive a task from idea to working prototype without step-by-step guidance.

     

Nice to have:

  • Radar โ€” understanding of operating principles (FMCW, Doppler), experience with radar sensors;
  • GNU Radio โ€” building flow graphs, writing OOT modules;
  • Experience with RF front-end, antenna systems, direction finding (DoA);
  • TensorRT / ONNX Runtime โ€” deploying models on edge;
  • Jetson or other edge platforms;
  • Docker / CI/CD;
  • English at the level of reading technical documentation and communication.

     

What we offer:

  • Impact: work on real autonomous systems, not educational projects.
  • Autonomy: technical freedom โ€” choose your tools, propose solutions. Minimum bureaucracy.
  • Unique domain: rare expertise that immediately sets your resume apart in aerospace/defence.
  • Growth: mentorship from experienced engineers.
  • Remote work: remote, flexible schedule, core sync hours for communication.
  • Team: work alongside engineers solving problems at the intersection of edge-AI, computer vision, and real-time robotics.
  • Mission: direct contribution to Ukraine's defense capability and European security.

     

If this sounds like you โ€” don't wait, reach out today. We look forward to meeting you :)
