AI & Data Scientist (m/f/d) – Next Generation Defense Radar Systems

Location: Erlangen, Germany, onsite

Wolf Radar operates at the intersection of a new era of security challenges and the existential need to secure European technological sovereignty .

To tackle this challenge, we are actively developing and deploying cutting‑edge radar and sensor systems that are resilient, high‑performance, and ready for mass production for use in defense & security.

We are looking for pioneering AI & Data Scientists to join our team in Erlangen and drive the development of advanced signal processing and object recognition algorithms for our cutting‑edge defense and security radar systems. Our mission is clear: We build radar technology to protect what matters most: human lives, critical assets, and the integrity of democratic societies.

We are hiring across all experience levels – from ambitious Junior to experienced Senior to strategic AI-Lead .

Your Core Mission in the AI/ML Team

As an AI & Data Scientist, you will be instrumental in designing, training, and deploying Machine Learning and Deep Learning models for real‑time applications within complex radar environments. Your work spans the entire ML lifecycle , focusing on processing high‑volume, complex radar signal data for critical applications such as real‑time object detection, classification, tracking, and anomaly detection . You will actively track cutting‑edge research to ensure our radar systems maintain a technological edge.

Your Profile (Soft Skills & Mindset)

Beyond your technical skills, you are a valuable team member because of your:

• Academic Excellence: You hold a Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Data Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics , or a comparable STEM field.
• Problem-Solving: You possess an exceptional analytical and conceptual mindset , allowing you to translate complex, unstructured real‑world problems into clear, solvable data science challenges.
• Collaboration & Drive: You are a proactive, results‑oriented team player who thrives in an interdisciplinary environment and is eager to share knowledge and contribute to a joint mission.
• Communication: You have strong written and verbal communication skills (Fluent English is mandatory ), enabling you to explain complex technical findings clearly to non‑technical stakeholders.
• Quality Commitment: You are passionate about developing high‑quality, robust, and reliable AI solutions that meet demanding performance and security standards.

Requirements by Seniority Level

1. Junior AI/Data Scientist:

In this role, your focus is on learning and technical execution . You will support the team with data preparation, feature engineering, and training/validation of existing models under guidance. You should have 0–2 years of experience (or be a recent Master’s/Ph.D. graduate) with solid skills in Python (PyTorch/TensorFlow) and statistics. A basic understanding of Signal Processing, RF, or sensor data is a strong advantage.

2. Senior AI/Data Scientist:

As a Senior, you will take end-to-end ownership of challenging AI/ML projects. You are responsible for architecting, implementing, and optimizing new ML solutions, ensuring their successful transition into production (MLOps). You must have 3+ years of proven, production-focused experience and familiarity with cloud deployment. Demonstrable experience analyzing raw radar data or similar time‑series/sensor data is more than welcome.

3. AI-Lead / Principal Scientist:

This is a strategic role where you will provide technical leadership for the AI team, defining the overall AI/ML roadmap and data processing architecture. You act as the key technical interface to System Engineering and Management. You require 7+ years of progressive experience , ideally with prior technical leadership . In-depth domain expertise in advanced radar systems , electronic warfare, or defense/aerospace technology is mandatory.

What We Offer

• Pioneering Technology: Work on mission‑critical, cutting‑edge technology in the demanding field of advanced radar systems.
• Impact: High level of responsibility with the opportunity to see your models deployed in real‑world, high‑stakes systems (really quickly ;)).
• Culture & Team: A young and dynamic team in a collaborative, fast‑paced, and highly technical engineering culture with flat hierarchies.
• Attractive Total Package (Benefits): 30 days of paid vacation , support for training in areas of your choice , and a Job‑Ticket (public transport subsidy) , and many more.
