• Integrate quantum radar systems with traditional multistatic/bistatic, passive, and active radar networks
• Work with cryogenic systems, superconducting detectors, and quantum photonics hardware to enhance radar performance
• Conduct simulation-based modeling and real-world validation of quantum radar prototypes
• Ensure compliance with defense and aerospace standards (MIL-STD, ITAR, NATO STANAGs, IEEE Quantum Radar Guidelines)

Your profile:

• 5+ years experience in radar engineering, quantum physics, or advanced signal processing
• Strong expertise in quantum optics, quantum entanglement, and photonics-based radar technologies
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C++, or CUDA for quantum radar simulations and data analysis
• Experience with superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) and quantum key distribution (QKD) systems
• Familiarity with electronic warfare (EW) countermeasures, radar cross-section (RCS) analysis, and stealth detection
• Understanding of quantum information theory, non-classical light sources, and entangled photon generation

Nice to have:

• Experience with quantum radar prototyping and real-world testing
• Background in machine learning-enhanced radar anomaly detection
• Knowledge of quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum-secure communication

Meta:

• Outside the box creativity, conceptual & systematic design thinking, disciplined execution
• Servant leader mindset, placing team success over ego
• Highest moral standards and work ethics
• We value extra-curricular responsibilities and achievements in your biography
• Intrinsic motivation, willing to go the extra mile, attention to detail
• Fluent in English
• Nationality of a NATO member nation or close ally is a must
• Successful candidates will be required to obtain security clearance
