RF Signal Processing Engineer (PNT & Defense)

S[&]T; Delft; On-site; EUR 70,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job summary

We are seeking an Algorithm Engineer to join the Delft team at S[&]T. You will develop and implement algorithms to detect, classify, localize, and suppress RF emitters, integrate sensor outputs, and verify performance in lab and field settings.

You will collaborate with a 10-person engineering team and contribute to software and hardware integration for space and defence applications. You will design processing architectures combining stochastic analysis, system identification, and optimization,

Qualifications

• Education: A master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience: A good understanding of signal processing, system control and digital communications.
• Experience in RF systems, GNSS and satellite navigation, sensor fusion, system identification, stochastic modelling, constrained optimization (e.g. mixed integer), state-estimation.
• Experience in data-driven AI modelling is strongly preferred.
• Knowledge: Programming experience in Python is essential. Experience with Rust, C or C++ is an advantage.
• Experience: The ability to communicate technical ideas clearly in English, both verbally and in writing. Knowledge of Dutch is an advantage.
• Interest: An interest in working in the Defence domain and the ability to obtain the required security clearances (Dutch, NATO and EU, as applicable).
• Important: You do not need to have experience in every technical area listed above. We value the different perspectives and expertise that people bring, whether developed through education, research or practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Translate end-user needs into measurable technical and performance requirements.
• Design algorithmic processing architectures that combine stochastic analysis, system identification, optimization and data-driven methods.
• Develop and implement signal-processing and system-control algorithms.
• Collaborate with software and hardware engineers to balance detection accuracy, computational performance and other product requirements.
• Keep up to date with scientific developments and state-of-the-art techniques relevant to the field.
• Design test benches and define and perform testing, verification and validation activities.
• Take ownership of technical tasks and lead projects within larger programmes.
