Radar Systems Engineer
Location: Onsite in Switzerland (1-2 days/week remote flexibility)
Start Date: ASAP
Security: Must be eligible to work on military/defence projects
Ready to work on cutting-edge radar technology at the intersection of aerospace and defence? Join an elite R&D team driving innovation in air surveillance radar systems that protect European and US airspace. You'll be stepping into a technical leadership role within a forward-thinking, international team that's redefining the future of military radar.
Why You'll Love This Role
- Radar first. PM second. We're seeking a Radar domain expert who's keen to grow into technical project leadership. You don't need to own the budget - just the technology, test cases, CDRs, PDRs, and technical deliverables.
- Modern work, future focus. While the broader company may be traditional, this team is all about pushing boundaries: exploring new markets, engaging in accelerator projects, and turning military-grade innovation into real-world impact.
- Global collaboration. Work daily with a diverse team (French, Swedish, Swiss, Italian, Spanish) where English is the language of meetings - but don't be surprised if coffee breaks turn to German!
Your Role
- Lead air surveillance radar projects from a technical standpoint
- Drive activities like modelling, data & signal processing, and sensor simulation
- Ensure engineering milestones (CDRs, PDRs, etc.) are achieved with precision
- Collaborate closely with radar system engineers working on RF, hardware/software integration
- Bridge the gap between technical depth and project coordination - no financial admin required
What You Bring
- Deep experience in radar systems - particularly data modelling & signal processing
- Motivation to grow into a Technical Project Leader (TPL) role
- Familiarity with tools like Matlab and high-level programming languages
- Background in defence or aerospace (non-safety critical)
- Ability to thrive in a structured yet curious and innovative team environment
This isn't your typical defence project team. You'll join a tight-knit, ambitious, and supportive engineering unit within a larger, well-respected European defence company.
