Radio & Data Link Systems Engineer (f/m/d)

TYTAN Technologies

TYTAN is a young deep-tech defense startup that develops a cost-effective counter-drone solution to protect people and critical infrastructure. We are an international team of ambitious engineers who combine expertise in autonomous systems and UAV design.

As a Radio & Data Link Systems Engineer, you own the integration, configuration, and performance of radio and data link systems for interceptor UAVs operating in dynamic and congested RF environments. Your work ensures robust command & control, telemetry, data streaming, and cooperative multi-UAV operations across complex network topologies. You will operate close to the hardware, fly what you build, and continuously improve system performance from lab bench to flight test.

Who you are

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Embedded Systems, Physics (RF focus), or a comparable technical field
• 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in radio, data link, or wireless system integration
• Strong understanding of wireless protocols, RF behavior, and network performance
• Practical experience with mesh networking, MANETs, or multi-node wireless systems
• Proficiency with Linux-based systems, Python scripting, and C/C++
• Solid electronics and embedded systems experience
• Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, or comparable UAV stacks
• Strong debugging skills across hardware, firmware, and networking layers
• Experience with UAV, aerospace, or defense systems is a plus
• Experience with SDR platforms, PHY/MAC-level concepts, or secure communications is a plus
• Experience with radar technology is a plus
