AI Futures are partnered exclusively with the most exciting AI startup in Germany on a Search for a Chief Engineer RF
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a new industry by building the operating system for physical-world intelligence. Funded by Tier 1 VCs the company are developing a new category of autonomous systems capable of delivering low-signature, persistent intelligence at scale, creating a programmable layer that connects the physical world to organisations and turns deployments into real insight. With initial applications in defence and long-term applications across security, infrastructure and industry, the company is scaling from 50 to 200 people in 2026.
The Role
* You will define the foundational RF communication layer enabling coordination across distributed Robot swarms.
* You will design how autonomous agents access the medium, establish connectivity, and sustain wireless communication under conditions where classical networking assumptions break down.
* You will develop new medium access and RF coordination mechanisms that allow decentralized agents to share spectrum, organize locally, and maintain collective communication without centralized infrastructure.
* Working at the intersection of RF systems, baseband, and distributed communication algorithms, you will translate physical constraints into robust interaction rules that enable scalable swarm behavior.
* You will design communication models that operate reliably on highly constrained hardware and directly support system-level swarm intelligence.
* You will work closely with embedded, baseband, and autonomy teams to integrate communication, sensing, and collective behaviour
The Candidate
* 5+ years of experience in wireless communication systems, RF Networks or medium access protocol design
* UWB (Ultra-wide band) experience
* Fluent English and ability to be on-site in Germany
* Experience working with or designing MAC protocols, distributed communication systems or wireless coordination mechanisms
* Experience developing systems where constraints such as bandwidth, synchronisation, energy or interference drive design decisions
