RF / Communications Engineer – LPWAN / Sub-GHz IoT

About the role

We are supporting a Munich-based deep-tech company building low-power distributed sensing devices. Their devices need to communicate over long distances while remaining power-efficient and robust in challenging environments.

They are looking for an RF / Communications Engineer to work alongside their current communications engineer and help take ownership of the wireless networking side of the platform. This role sits between RF, embedded systems and IoT networking.

What you’ll do

• Work on low-power wireless communication for distributed sensing devices.
• Develop and improve LPWAN & long-range communication systems.
• Work with sub-GHz communication technologies.
• Support routing, networking and communication protocols across distributed nodes.
• Help improve resilience against interference, jamming and spoofing.
• Work closely with embedded systems and hardware teams.
• Support system-level testing and debugging of communication performance.
• Help scale the communications architecture as the device network grows.

What they’re looking for

• Experience with RF communications or wireless embedded systems.
• Understanding of LPWAN, sub-GHz communication or long-range IoT networks.
• Knowledge of routing, networking or distributed communication systems.
• Comfortable working with low-power devices.
• Ability to work close to hardware and embedded engineering teams.
• Practical engineering mindset with strong debugging ability.

Nice to have

• Experience with jamming/spoofing resilience.
• Experience in defence, aerospace, drones, robotics or industrial IoT.
• Experience with LoRa, LoRaWAN, mesh networking or proprietary sub-GHz protocols.
• Experience with field testing wireless communication systems.
