Scope:

As a Systems Engineer at D-Fend, you will bridge the gap between high-level concepts and real-world execution. You will lead multi-system features from initial idea to release, acting as the key integrator across multiple internal systems developed by our various R&D teams, while also bridging the technical gap with external vendors to bring our unified technology to life in the field.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead complex, multi-system features and platforms from initial concept through design, implementation, and release
• Analyse, define, and debug complex system behaviours, state machines, algorithms, and event-response logic (including radio link budget considerations)
• Define requirements and guide multi-disciplinary teams—spanning both our internal engineering groups (SW, HW, Modem, DSP, FPGA) and external vendors—through implementation, debugging, and integration
• Lead the integration of internal subsystems and optimize the integration of external vendor technologies
• Perform independent, hands-on debugging using Python or Matlab and log analysis tools
• Actively participate in, guide, and lead lab and field testing, validation, and system optimization both in the lab and in outdoor environments
  
  

• B.Sc/M.Sc degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science or a related technical discipline from a recognized university
• A minimum of 12 years of experience in radio-based systems, with At least 5 years of experience in a specialized role (e.g., Communication Systems Engineer, RF System Engineer, Military Systems Engineer, or Algorithm Engineer)
• Strong hands-on experience with radio-based systems, RF test equipment, and integration processes
• Hands-on experience with the acceptance and integration process of radio-based systems
• Proficiency in scripting and data analysis tools (Python, MATLAB, and Excel)
• Deep understanding of radars, wireless communications, or other multidisciplinary radio-based systems.
• A strong team player with excellent communication skills, a "can-do" attitude, and a passion for solving highly complex, real-world problems
• Advantage: Experience with cyber-based systems or military systems, such as SIGINT, ELINT, EW or radars
