Senior RF Systems Engineer – Aerospace & Signals

MITS Industries; København; On-site; DKK 800,000 - 1,100,000; Full time

Job summary

MITS Industries is establishing an R&D and design site in Copenhagen focused on advanced RF systems, signal intelligence, aerospace technologies, and mission‑critical product development.

The Senior Systems Engineer, RF Systems will translate product, mission, and stakeholder needs into clear requirements, system architectures, and verification plans, working with RF hardware, embedded control, and test teams to deliver validated platforms.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in electrical/electronic engineering, telecommunications, systems engineering, aerospace engineering, applied physics, or a related field.
• 6+ years of professional experience in systems engineering for complex RF, electronic, aerospace, or other mission-critical systems.
• Strong understanding of RF systems, including receiver architectures, RF signal paths, antenna interfaces, signal acquisition, data conversion, embedded control, timing and synchronization, calibration, and system validation.
• Proven experience translating product, mission, and stakeholder needs into functional, performance, parametric, interface, environmental, and verification requirements.
• Experience developing functional and physical system architectures, decomposing systems into subsystems, allocating requirements, and defining interfaces and technical trade-offs.
• Experience establishing and maintaining system performance budgets and constraints covering RF performance, timing and synchronization, data flow, power, thermal performance, mass, and platform interfaces.
• Strong understanding of requirements decomposition, traceability, acceptance criteria, and verification methods, including analysis, inspection, demonstration, and testing.
• Experience preparing and maintaining system requirements specifications, interface-control documents, integration plans, verification plans, compliance matrices, and technical decision records.
• Practical experience with requirements-management and traceability tools such as IBM Engineering DOORS, Jama Connect, Polarion, or equivalent.
• Experience working with cross-functional engineering teams covering RF and microwave hardware, antennas, embedded systems, signal processing, mechanical design, test, manufacturing, and system integration.
• Ability to evaluate technical trade-offs across RF performance, embedded implementation, mechanical and thermal constraints, testability, manufacturability, reliability, and operational use.
• Hands-on experience with prototype integration, laboratory validation, system-level debugging, and troubleshooting of complex multidisciplinary systems.
• Experience identifying and managing system-level risks, interface conflicts, assumptions, technical dependencies, and integration blockers. Strong technical communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to align senior engineers and drive decisions across engineering disciplines.

Responsibilities

• Translate product, mission, and stakeholder needs into clear functional, performance, parametric, interface, environmental, and verification requirements.
• Develop and maintain the functional and physical system architecture, allocate requirements to subsystems, and define key technical trade-offs.
• Establish and maintain system performance budgets and constraints covering RF performance, timing and synchronization, data flow, power, thermal performance, mass, and platform interfaces.
• Define and maintenance system requirements, subsystem requirements, interface control documentation, acceptance criteria, and verification logic.
• Align RF subsystem requirements, including frequency coverage, sensitivity, selectivity, dynamic range, noise figure, linearity, phase noise, spurious responses, channel isolation, and interference resilience.
• Define antenna-system requirements covering frequency coverage, antenna gain, polarization, radiation-pattern characteristics, isolation between antenna channels, placement, and platform integration.
• Define embedded control, data acquisition, timing, synchronization, diagnostics, logging, networking, and system-monitoring requirements.
• Coordinate mechanical and platform requirements covering dimensions, mass, thermal management, connectors, cabling, grounding, shielding, mounting, environmental constraints, and serviceability.
• Work with RF test and characterization engineers to define measurable acceptance criteria, calibration needs, verification methods, test coverage, and required evidence.
• Prepare and maintain system requirements specifications, interface-control documents, system budgets, integration plans, verification plans, compliance matrices, and technical decision records.
• Lead system integration planning and support prototype bring-up, laboratory validation, qualification, and field-test preparation.
• Identify system-level risks, interface conflicts, missing requirements, invalid assumptions, and integration blockers, and drive their resolution.
• Facilitate cross-functional technical alignment between engineering disciplines, technical leadership, manufacturing partners, and partner engineering teams.
• Support requirements reviews, system design reviews, integration reviews, test readiness reviews, and milestone decisions.
• Maintain traceability between stakeholder needs, requirements, design decisions, implementation, verification results, and acceptance evidence.
• Help establish systems-engineering methods, documentation practices, requirements-management workflows, and technical-review processes for future MITS Industries development programs.
