Job Description

RF Engineer (Counter-Drone Systems) 1 to 3 Years Experience

Location: Hyderabad

Job Type: Full-Time

Experience: 13 years

Domain: RF Systems, Electronic Warfare, Counter-UAS

About the Role

We are seeking a motivated RF Engineer to support the design, development, and testing of a Counter-Drone (C-UAS) system. The candidate will work on RF front-end design, signal acquisition, direction finding and jamming systems.

Key Responsibilities

1. RF System Design & Development

Assist in the design and implementation of RF receiver and transmitter chains (10 MHz – 6 GHz or higher).

Perform link budgeting, noise figure calculations, gain distribution, and filtering design.

Support antenna selection, matching, and array configuration for detection and jamming.

2. Counter-Drone (C-UAS) System Work

Work with SDR-based detection systems (e.g., USRP, BladeRF, HackRF, or custom hardware).

Implement RF detection techniques for drone uplink/downlink signals (2.4 GHz, 5.8 GHz, GPS L1, etc.).

Support development of RF jamming modules (broadband and narrowband).

Contribute to direction-finding algorithms (AoA, RSSI-based DF, TDOA if applicable).

3. Signal Processing & Algorithms

Assist in capturing and analyzing RF signals of drones for protocol reverse engineering.

Work with engineers to implement detection pipelines:

FFT-based detection

Energy detection & thresholding

Modulation recognition

Spectral analysis & interference mapping

Support MATLAB/Python simulations for RF behavior and algorithm evaluation.

4. Hardware Integration & Testing

Support integration of RF subsystems with embedded processors, FPGAs, and SDRs.

Perform bench testing using spectrum analyzers, VNAs, oscilloscopes, and power meters.

Conduct field tests for drone detection, tracking, and jamming effectiveness.

Document all test results and create structured reports.

5. Compliance & Safety

Ensure RF systems conform to regulatory limits (ETSI/ITU/Indian regulations).

Follow best practices for EMC/EMI and RF safety during testing.
