Wireless Communication Engineer

Wireless Communication Engineer (m/f/d) – Defense Radar Systems

Location: Erlangen, Germany, onsite

Wolf Radar operates at the intersection of a
new era of security challenges
and the existential need to secure
European technological sovereignty
.

To tackle this challenge, we are actively developing and deploying cutting-edge radar and sensor systems that are resilient, high-performance, and ready for mass production for use in defense.

We are looking for a driven
Wireless Communication Engineer
to secure the critical data links for our next-generation defense radar platforms.
Our mission is clear: We build radar technology to protect what matters most: human lives, critical assets, and the integrity of democratic societies.
Join us to engineer the endurance and precision into the physical structure of our technology.

Your Core Mission in the Engineering Team

As a Wireless Communication Engineer, you will be the core expert in creating
robust, high-speed, and secure wireless data links
for our advanced platforms.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Advanced DSP Algorithm Design:
  Design, optimize, and implement complex
  digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms
  for features such as
  adaptive equalization, channel coding, synchronization, and advanced interference mitigation
  within the modem and baseband processing chain.
• PHY/MAC Layer Development:
  Develop, model, and implement
  Physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layer protocols
  in embedded C/C++ or VHDL/Verilog for secure, high-throughput, and LPI/LPD operations on custom platforms (e.g., FPGAs/SDRs).
• System Modeling & Simulation:
  Utilize tools like
  MATLAB/Simulink or Python
  to build high-fidelity models of the entire wireless link, performing extensive simulation and analysis (e.g., link budgets, channel estimation, error rate) to validate algorithmic performance before hardware deployment.
• Software Implementation & Integration:
  Translate verified DSP algorithms into
  optimized, high-performance embedded code
  , integrating them with existing platform software and ensuring seamless data flow between the transceiver and the core processing unit.
• Testing & Validation:
  Conduct rigorous
  Over-the-Air (OTA) testing
  and field trials, focusing on the performance of implemented protocols and algorithms under challenging real-world conditions (e.g., jamming, high mobility, multipath fading).

Your Profile (Soft Skills, Education & Experience)

• Academic Excellence:
  You hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in
  Electrical Engineering, Communication Systems,
  with a strong focus on
  Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
  and/or
  Information Theory.
• Hands-on Mentality:
  You possess a strong practical and
  problem-solving mindset
  , capable of quickly translating abstract algorithms into robust, functional software.
• Technical Fluency:
  You are proficient with
  MATLAB/Simulink and Python
  for modeling, and possess expert skills in
  C/C++
  for embedded development. Experience with FPGA/VHDL is a strong plus.
• Domain Interest (Strong Plus):
  Deep experience or a strong interest in
  Software Defined Radios (SDR), cognitive radio, secure military data links, advanced error correction codes, or Electronic Warfare (EW)
  is highly valued.
• Collaboration & Communication:
  You are a proactive, results-oriented team player with strong communication skills (Fluent English is mandatory) for seamless collaboration with hardware and system architects.

What We Offer

• Pioneering Technology:
  Work on mission-critical, cutting-edge technology in the demanding field of advanced radar systems.
• Impact:
  High level of responsibility with the opportunity to see your models deployed in real-world, high-stakes systems.
• Culture:
  A collaborative, fast-paced, and highly technical engineering culture with flat hierarchies.
• Culture & Team:
  A
  young and dynamic team
  in a collaborative, fast-paced, and highly technical engineering culture with flat hierarchies.
• Attractive Total Package (Benefits): 30 days of paid vacation
  , support for
  training in areas of your choice
  , and a
  Job-Ticket (public transport subsidy)
  , and many more.
