Lead Systems Engineer - Active RF Sensing

Highlights

• Own end-to-end integration of airborne AESA radar to flight release.
• Translate mission needs into radar performance and CONOPS.
• Lead verification campaign for installed sensor performance in flight test.

What they offer

• Focus on outcomes, not time-tracking
• Competitive compensation and VSOP options
• Relocation support
• Social and education allowances
• Regular company events and all-hands across Europe

Ideal candidate

Mission-driven systems engineer with airborne radar delivery experience who thrives owning complex integration from concept to flight and cares about protecting democracies.

Requirements

• Hold a relevant degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Have experience in delivering airborne radar (AESA and/or MFR) capabilities through integration, test, and operational release.
• Can translate operational scenarios into radar KPIs (range vs RCS, coverage/scan, revisit/update, track quality, latency) and flow them into verifiable requirements.
• Have practical experience with radar modes and scheduling (search/track, MTI/GMTI, SAR/ISAR as applicable) and the trade space between detection, tracking, and resources.
• Understand RF and antenna/aperture integration: placement, boresight alignment, radome effects, thermal/power constraints, and maintainability.
• Have an LO/signature-aware mindset: radome/RCS trade-offs, leakage/spur control, and LPI concepts where applicable.
• Have led verification & test (bench/HIL, chamber/anechoic, range/flight test support) and can debug from RF to software parameters.
• Can own ICDs and supplier technical control: review evidence and manage changes.
