Destinus is revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). As a Radar System Engineer, you will develop next-generation digital radar systems for high-performance aerospace applications where every gram, watt, and millisecond matters.
You will work at the intersection of system architecture, advanced electronics, and mission-critical defense 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 (Size, Weight, Power, and Cost) targets.
Key responsibilities include:
- Behavioral modeling of bistatic radar systems
- System-level simulation to predict performance based on key metrics (SNR, resolution parameters)
- Validation of system models against measurements
- RX and TX architecture definition
- Writing requirements and specifications
- Leading system-level studies across domains: hardware, software, signal processing, and mechanical engineering
- Collaborating with RF design, digital design, software engineering, signal processing, and mechanical engineering teams
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 constraints. You are curious, hands-on, and driven by innovation, motivated by building technology that pushes the limits of advanced sensing systems.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 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 (preferred)
- Knowledge of FPGA devices (preferred)
