Signal Processing Engineer (FPGA)

Hypersonica GmbH; München; Ibrido; EUR 70.000 - 110.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Hypersonica GmbH seeks a DSP Engineer to design and implement advanced signal processing for sensor data, including detection, tracking, and estimation. You will validate algorithms in simulation before hardware integration and support sensor hardware integration.

The role requires experience in Kalman filtering and MATLAB/Python proficiency, with a strong mathematical foundation and an ability to work autonomously on European defence challenges.

Competenze

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Physics, or related field.
• Experience with digital signal processing: filtering, estimation theory (e.g. Kalman filtering), detection/tracking algorithms.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Python and familiarity with real-time/embedded implementation constraints.

Mansioni

• Design and implement sensor data DSP algorithms (detection, tracking, filtering, estimation).
• Develop and validate algorithms in simulation prior to hardware integration.
• Support sensor hardware integration and characterize signal/noise performance.
• Analyze test/field data to validate algorithm performance against requirements.
• Collaborate with seeker, avionics, and GNC teams on sensor-to-system interfaces.
• Maintain technical documentation in line with requirements.

Descrizione del lavoro

Help Build Europe's Hypersonic Capability

At Hypersonica, we're redefining what's possible in European defence technology. We exist to deliver speed, resilience, and technological independence at a pace that sets a new standard. We are a small, elite team working on problems that matter, and solving them fast.

By joining Hypersonica, you're not stepping into a predefined role. You're joining a talent dense environment where every individual shapes the direction of the company. Our philosophy is to hire a small number of exceptional people with broad, deep technical capability, strong judgement, and the ability to operate autonomously.

We hire for talent, not rigid boxes. This role represents a business need, but the way it evolves will be shaped by the individual. If you've achieved what others said was impossible, or you bring a unique combination of skills that doesn't fit a traditional mould, we want to hear from you. The work you do here directly contributes to Europe's technological independence.

What you'll do

• Design and implement signal processing algorithms for sensor data (e.g. detection, tracking, filtering, estimation).

• Develop and validate algorithms in simulation prior to hardware integration.

• Support sensor hardware integration and characterize signal/noise performance.

• Analyze test and field data to validate algorithm performance against requirements.

• Collaborate with seeker, avionics, and GNC teams on sensor-to-system interfaces.

• Maintain technical documentation in line with requirements.

Who You Are

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Physics, or a related field.

• Experience with digital signal processing: filtering, estimation theory (e.g. Kalman filtering), detection/tracking algorithms.

• Proficiency in MATLAB/Python and familiarity with real-time/embedded implementation constraints.

• Experience working with sensor data (RF, EO/IR, or acoustic) is a plus.

• Strong mathematical and analytical foundation.

What We Offer

• A mission driven environment with the opportunity to work on one of Europe's most consequential defence challenges, with direct impact on sovereign capability and security.

• Daily collaboration with top experts across engineering, operations, and defence, with real opportunity to learn from the best, contribute, and grow.

• High ownership and autonomy; no time tracking, no micromanagement, just clear objectives and accountability for outcomes.

• A fast paced environment where good ideas are implemented quickly, and feedback from test and flight drives real decisions.

• A culture that values clarity, integrity, and excellence, and supports people who take initiative and push boundaries responsibly.

• Competitive compensation and real share options aligned to responsibility and impact, not tenure or hierarchy.

Security and Eligibility Requirement

Due to the nature of the work we undertake, applicants must be a EU/Nato/German citizen, and be eligible for German Security Clearance.

Hypersonica is an equal-opportunity employer and assesses candidates solely on merit, capability, and potential.
