Engineering Team Lead (RF/Hochfrequenztechnik)

Hybrid

Industry: Defence Technology | Autonomous Systems | UAVs

We're working with one of Europe's fastest-growing defence technology companies, supplying advanced autonomous systems to NATO forces.

Having raised over $1bn in funding and reached a multibillion-dollar valuation, the business is continuing to expand its engineering capabilities. They're looking for a hands-on RF Engineering Team Lead to take ownership of the Data Link and Tracking systems, among the most expensive and mission-critical components of their drones.

The role combines technical ownership of long-range radio communications with the opportunity to build the future of the team.

The Opportunity

• Own the development and integration of radio data links and tracking technologies enabling reliable, long-range drone communications.
• Lead an existing team of hardware and software engineers, with responsibility for growing the function further.
• Drive technical decisions, design reviews, testing and troubleshooting.
• Shape the team's technical direction, engineering processes and future capabilities.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to deliver production-ready systems.

What We're Looking For

• Strong background in RF engineering
• Hands-on experience developing, integrating or testing RF hardware and communication systems.
• Technical leadership or people-management experience, with an interest in developing engineers.
• Understanding of hardware/software integration
• Experience delivering complex engineering solutions from development through to production.
• Fluency in English

Why Consider It?

• Impact: Develop technology actively deployed in real-world defence operations, supplying NATO forces and Ukraine.
• Autonomy: Shape the technical direction, team structure and future development of a critical engineering function.
• Growth: Join one of Europe's fastest-growing defence technology companies, backed by over $1bn in funding.
