Factor Search are working with one of our long term partners in the UAS/C-UAS industry who are seeking a Signal Processing Expert. With revenue for the year hitting €200m+, the team are now looking to add a specialist in radar signal processing.
The Role
You’ll take technical leadership in developing advanced algorithms for signal processing across radar, EW, and sensor-based applications. Collaborating across software, hardware, and systems teams, you’ll be involved from concept design through implementation, testing, and refinement—both in simulated and real-world environments.
Key Responsibilities
* Design, simulate, and develop signal processing chains for advanced sensing systems
* Create algorithms for real-time radar and EW applications
* Perform data analysis, including filtering, detection, and estimation tasks
* Support integration and testing activities in lab and field settings
* Contribute to the development of control system interfaces and their integration with sensors
* Produce clear technical documentation and present findings internally and to stakeholders
Ideal Background
* MSc or PhD in Engineering Physics, Electronics, Mechatronics, Control Systems, or similar
* Several years’ experience in signal processing, ideally within radar, EW, or comms systems
* Comfortable with embedded algorithm development and hardware-software integration
* Skilled in MATLAB, Simulink, Python
* Familiarity with control theory, model-based design, or real-time applications
* Strong written and spoken English
Bonus Points For
* Industry experience in aerospace, defense, or avionics
* Knowledge of sensor fusion, beamforming, adaptive filtering, or multi-sensor data integration
