Job Description

: RF Engineer - (C-UAS)

Location:

Abu Dhabi, UAE

Employment Type:

Full-Time

Position Summary

The RF Engineer will support the development, integration, testing, and optimization of radiofrequency (RF) technologies used in counter-drone (C-UAS) systems. The role involves RF system design, signal analysis, testing, troubleshooting, and collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams. The ideal candidate should have strong expertise in RF communication principles, electromagnetic theory, and system-level engineering for security and surveillance technologies.

Key Responsibilities1. RF System Design & Development

Participate in the development and enhancement of RF subsystems for counter-drone detection and tracking technologies. Work with engineering teams to evaluate RF hardware, antennas, filters, and signal processing components. Support modeling, simulation, and optimization of RF system performance.

2. Signal Analysis & Testing

Conduct analysis of RF signals relevant to detection and classification of unmanned aerial systems (UAS). Perform lab and field testing of RF sensors and associated equipment. Assist in verification and validation of RF performance parameters.

3. Troubleshooting & Optimization

Diagnose RF-related performance issues and assist in implementing corrective actions. Optimize RF parameters to improve system reliability, detection accuracy, and environmental robustness.

4. Integration & System Support

Support integration of RF components with broader C-UAS system architecture, including sensors, command-and-control systems, and communication interfaces. Work with software, mechanical, and electronics teams during system deployment and configuration. Provide technical support during field operations, demonstrations, and customer evaluations.

5. Documentation & Reporting

Prepare technical reports, testing documentation, and design specifications. Maintain accurate records of test results, system performance, and engineering changes. Ensure compliance with organizational standards and UAE regulatory requirements.

6. Cross-Functional Collaboration

Coordinate with R&D, production, quality assurance, and operational teams. Assist procurement teams with technical evaluation of RF-related components and vendors. Participate in technical meetings and support customer discussions when needed.

Qualifications & Experience

Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Electronics, Telecommunications, or related field (master's preferred). 5-8 years of experience in RF engineering, ideally within aerospace, telecom, or security systems. Strong knowledge of RF communication principles, antennas, propagation, and electromagnetic theory. Experience with RF testing tools (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, etc.). Familiarity with signal processing concepts and simulation tools (e.g., MATLAB, HFSS, CST, ADS). Understanding of UAS technologies, radar, or electronic sensing systems is an advantage. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and documentation skills.
