Signal Processing Engineer – Drone Radio, Anti‑Jam & AI

Harmattan AI; Paris; Sur place; EUR 95 000 - 130 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Harmattan AI in Paris is seeking a seasoned Signal Processing Engineer to own the drone-to-ground radio link algorithms. You will design waveforms, anti-jamming logic, and SIGINT capabilities, collaborating with RF, FPGA, and software teams to transition concepts from theory to flight.

The role requires 8-12 years of radio system experience, strong DSP foundations, and fluency in English (French a plus). You will contribute to autonomous defense capabilities in challenging environments.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, or Applied Mathematics.
• 8-12 years designing radio or communication systems, from algorithms to deployed products.
• Hands-on experience with modem or waveform design: modulation, coding, synchronization, equalization.
• Solid grounding in probability, DSP, and information theory; derive solutions from first principles.
• Practical awareness of RF hardware and FPGA constraints (latency, precision, real-time processing).
• Exposure to ECCM, SIGINT, or mesh networking is a strong plus.
• Clear communicator across RF, FPGA, and software disciplines.
• Fluency in English required; French is a plus.

Responsabilités

• Waveform design: design modulation, coding, and equalization schemes for a robust, low-latency radio link.
• Anti-Jamming (ECCM): build algorithms that keep the radio link alive under active jamming.
• Signal Intelligence (SIGINT): detect and characterize other radio emitters in the operating environment.
• Mesh Networking: optimize protocols so multiple radio units share airwaves without collision.
• AI-Assisted Processing: apply machine learning to jamming detection and channel prediction.
• Field Validation: take algorithms from simulation to lab bench to real flight test.
• Radio System Integration: work daily with RF hardware and FPGA engineers to bring designs into a fielded radio.
