## Description

**About the role**

Imagine shaping the future of radar technology by developing next generation digital radar systems built for high performance environments where every gram, watt, and millisecond matters. As a Radar System Engineer, you will work at the intersection of system architecture, advanced electronics, and mission-critical aerospace applications, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to transform complex requirements into cutting-edge radar solutions. You will play a key role in defining system requirements, driving technical trade-offs, and selecting the right components to achieve demanding SWaP-C targets. This is a role for engineers who enjoy solving complex technical challenges, balancing performance with real-world constraints, and pushing advanced sensing systems to the next level.

At **Destinus**, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. **Destinus** partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

**What You´ll Do**

-   Behavioral modelling of bistatic radar systems
-   System level simulation to predict system performance based on key metrics (e.g. SNR, resolution parameters)
-   Validation of the system model against measurements
-   RX and TX architecture
-   Writing requirements and specifications
-   Lead system level studies across domains: HW, SW, signal processing, mechanical
-   Collaborate with RF design, digital design, SW engineering and signal processing as well as mechanical engineering

## Requirements

**What You’ll Need**

-   Deep understanding of TX and RX architectures and their building blocks: amplifiers, mixers, filters, clock circuits and PLLs, A/D and D/A converters
-   Behavioral models of RF and analog building blocks preferably in Python
-   Waveform design and digital communication principles
-   Good understanding of radar signal processing
-   Experience with bistatic radar is a plus
-   Knowledge of FPGA devices is a plus

**Who You Are**

You are a problem-solver who enjoys tackling complex technical challenges and turning requirements into high-performance radar solutions. You work well in multidisciplinary teams, communicate clearly, and stay focused when balancing performance, integration, and demanding SWaP-C constraints. Curious, hands-on, and driven by innovation, you are motivated by building technology that pushes the limits of advanced sensing systems.
