Senior Waveform Architect (All Genders)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential defence technology client in Berlin who is building the next generation of autonomous platforms for contested operational environments. Our talent team is seeking a Senior Waveform Architect to own the entire development, architecture, and implementation of a tactical anti-jam radio waveform. This is a critical technical leadership role where you will ensure communication links remain robust under severe electronic countermeasure conditions.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of the physical layer (PHY)—waveform, modulation, coding, framing, and synchronisation—from initial architecture to real-time execution
• Engineer solutions specifically tailored for challenging jamming scenarios and complex, multi-node long-range link budgets
• Own the PHY-side specifications and expose critical IQ, phase, and timing observables required by the Direction Finding (DF) strand
• Define development guidelines for the strand—including HDL and verification conventions, as well as FPGA build flows
• Hold the highest level of technical authority for attack and countermeasure capabilities within a systems-minded team environment

What We're Looking For

Required:

• Proven track record of successfully designing a PHY and bringing it onto FPGA/SoC hardware in real time
• Strong quantitative expertise in synchronisation, estimation, FEC (Forward Error Correction), and link budgets
• Practical experience debugging real radio links against physical hardware
• Ability to define long-term technology roadmaps while remaining deeply hands-on with complex engineering problems

Preferred:

• Experience with anti-jamming and LPI/LPD (Low Probability of Intercept/Detection) in a tactical context
• Professional background at industry-leading organisations
• Publicly verifiable PHY implementation evidence (e.g., custom GNU Radio OOT modules or contributions to the RFSoC toolchain)
