Passive RF Sensing Engineer (m/w/d) – Non-Emissive UAV Detection & Electromagnetic Threat Analysis

Your mission

• Develop and optimize passive RF sensing systems to detect enemy UAVs via signal reflections, RF emissions, and electromagnetic disturbances
• Design real-time signal processing algorithms to analyze RF anomalies and track UAVs without active radar emissions
• Implement multi-static and passive bistatic RF detection techniques, leveraging existing RF sources (TV, radio towers, satellite signals)
• Work on direction-finding (DF), RF geolocation, and time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) methods for UAV threat identification
• Develop AI-enhanced signal classification models to distinguish UAVs from background RF noise
• Integrate passive RF sensing data with EO/IR, radar, Lidar, and acoustic detection systems for multi-sensor fusion
• Conduct field testing and real-world validation of passive RF sensing networks in contested environments
• Ensure compliance with military and defense RF regulations (MIL-STD, ITAR, NATO STANAGs, FCC/ITU standards)

Your profile

• 5+ years experience in RF signal processing, passive sensing, or electromagnetic spectrum analysis
• Strong expertise in software-defined radio (SDR), RF geolocation, and passive radar techniques
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C++, GNU Radio, or CUDA for RF data processing and analysis
• Experience with low-SNR detection, RF fingerprinting, and electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures
• Familiarity with spectrum monitoring, covert RF sensing, and stealth UAV detection strategies

• Experience with AI-powered RF anomaly detection and adversarial RF signal analysis
• Background in low-frequency passive sensing for long-range UAV tracking
• Knowledge of quantum-enhanced RF sensing and emerging passive detection technologies
