Urgent! UAV Comms & Protocols Engineer (m/f/d) Job Opening In Berlin – Now Hiring Promethion Industries GmbH

UAV Comms & Protocols Engineer (m/f/d)



Job description

We’re hiring a Comms & Protocols Engineer to architect and deploy advanced communications stacks for distributed counter-UAS systems.

Your work will span SDR, mesh networking, NATO-compliant interfaces, and redundant fallback systems - all optimized for real-world tactical performance.


This is a hands-on systems role, blending RF, embedded protocols, and autonomy integration.

You’ll enable reliable drone-to-drone, interceptor-to-effector, and ground comms even in degraded, contested RF environments.


Tasks


Develop secure and redundant communications protocols for CUAS and autonomous UAV networks



  • Program SDRs using GNU Radio, USRP/Ettus platforms, and custom FPGA pipelines

  • Integrate NATO SAPIENT protocol stacks and other defense-standard interfaces

  • Build and optimize mesh comms using LoRa, CAN bus, and low-SWaP datalink layers

  • Design, test, and validate antenna layouts and RF propagation under dynamic flight conditions

  • Work with autonomy, targeting, and perception teams to ensure reliable low-latency messaging

  • Validate entire stack in HIL setups and field trials with autonomous air vehicles


Requirements



  • 4–8+ years in embedded comms, SDR, or RF engineering

  • Experience programming SDR platforms (GNU Radio, USRP, LimeSDR, etc.)

  • Familiarity with secure mesh networking (LoRa, CAN, custom protocols)

  • Knowledge of NATO SAPIENT or other military-grade comms protocols

  • Solid foundation in antenna theory, RF propagation, and EMI-aware design

  • Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded protocol development

  • Comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries


Bonus Points For:



  • Experience with fault-tolerant comms or degraded RF environments

  • Knowledge of custom protocol design or real-time distributed systems

  • Background in CUAS, drone swarms, or autonomous battlefield networks

  • Tools: GNURadio Companion, SDRangel, Qucs, MATLAB RF toolbox


Benefits



  • Be part of a mission to reinvent autonomy for real-world impact

  • Build secure, resilient comms for next-gen autonomous systems

  • Work in a custom-built RF & UAV testing lab at Berlin TXL

  • Competitive salary + meaningful equity

  • Full-time, on-site role with a focus on rapid iteration and deployment


Who You Are


You’re obsessed with signal integrity, latency, and making sure the system always talks - even when the spectrum is contested and the drone is miles away.

You don’t just connect radios — you engineer communication as a battlefield advantage.
