Together, We Can Make A Significant Impact

As a Senior / CUAS Product Engineer, you will be responsible for Counter Unmanned Aerial System (CUAS) Product Development & System Integration, Product Lifecycle Management and the Product Testing, Verification & Validation and Field Deployments.

Be Part of Our Success

Product Development & System Integration

• Own the CUAS system architecture (RF sensors, radar, EO/IR, RFDF, RF jammers, C2, AI/ML software)

• Translate customer operational requirements into engineering specifications

• Coordinate multi-domain engineering teams:

  • RF/Signal Processing

  • Embedded Hardware/Software

  • Mechanical & Power Systems

• Validate interoperability using standards (MIL-STD-810/461, FCC/CE, CAAS/FAA)

Product Lifecycle Management

• Manage Day-0 / Day-1 / Day-2 operational phases:

  • Day-0: Install & Commission

  • Day-1: Ops Support & Tuning

  • Day-2: Upgrades & Sustainment

  • Maintain roadmaps for new features (e.g. B-RID decoder, radar modes, jammer profiles)

  • Control configuration management and version releases (hardware + firmware + C2 UI)

Testing, Verification & Validation

• Own system acceptance testing including:

  • RF detection sensitivity + DF accuracy

  • Radar RCS range curves

  • J/S ratio effectiveness vs drone links

  • Track quality & fusion performance

• Lead factory acceptance tests (FAT) and site acceptance tests (SAT)

• Field Deployments & Operational Support

• Conduct site surveys, coverage planning, spectrum scans

• Integrate with command centers (C2/C4I)

• Provide operator training, manuals, SOPs, and field fixes

• Capture operational feedback for continuous improvement

Compliance, Export & Safety

• Handle DL/ECCN export classifications

• Ensure RF transmission complies with local regulations (CAAS, IMDA, FAA)

• Support safety cases and airspace authority approvals for drone operations

Vendor & Customer Engagement

• Work with OEM suppliers (radar, RF modules, EO/IR payloads)

• Support business development during demos / tenders

• Respond to technical clarifications, compliance matrices

Qualities We Value

• Knowledge in Electrical / Electronic Engineering / RF / Microwave Engineering, or related field.

Systems Thinking

• Understands the entire kill‑chain: sensing → detecting → tracking → identifying → mitigating.

• Views radar, RFDF, EO/IR, jamming, and C2 not as parts — but as one coherent system.

Operational Mindset

• Thinks like the end‑user (military, police, air‑defence command).

• Able to translate real‑world threats (DJI, FPV, GNSS‑spoofing swarm) into practical product decisions.

Bias for Action

• Not afraid to go to the field, troubleshoot under pressure, and own the outcome.

• Delivers working solutions.

Technical Curiosity

• Actively learns new RF protocols, radar modes, AI CV models, jamming tactics, export‑control rules.

• Strong Communication

Clear & credible with:

• Engineers (technical depth)

• Commanders/operators (mission relevance)

• Management/customers (value articulation)

• Can write good reports, SAT documents, and briefs.

• Singaporean only

Our Commitment That Goes Beyond the Norm

• An environment where you will be working on cutting‑edge technologies and architectures.

• Safe space where diverse perspectives are valued, and everyone’s unique contributions are celebrated.

• Meaningful work and projects that make a difference in people’s lives.

• A fun, passionate and collaborative workplace.

• Competitive remuneration and comprehensive benefits.
