TYTAN Technologies

The PACE is fast. The expectations are high. The contribution matters. Working at TYTAN is more than a job, this is a mission. We thrive, think big, and hold ourselves to the highest standard. Our mission and values guide everything we do, and we're looking for people who thrive on ownership, embrace challenges, and are energized by meaningful work. If you're motivated by impact and thrive in dynamic environments, you'll fit right in.

At TYTAN, we aim to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people. We protect critical infrastructure. We protect European sovereignty.

Now, we are looking for a new team member who is eager to make a real difference. As a Radio & Data Link Systems Engineer, you own the integration, configuration, and performance of radio and data link systems for interceptor UAVs operating in dynamic and congested RF environments. Your work ensures robust command & control, telemetry, data streaming, and cooperative multi-UAV operations across complex network topologies. You will operate close to the hardware, fly what you build, and continuously improve system performance from lab bench to flight test.

Your roadmap to make an impact

• Integrate and optimize radio and data link systems (WLAN, LTE/5G, proprietary MIMO, UHF/VHF)

• Configure, flash, and operate radios, flight controllers, and ground stations.

• Design and validate mesh and multi-node network topologies with multiple UAVs, ground control stations and operators

• Analyze and improve link performance metrics (latency, throughput, reliability, recovery).

• Perform link budget analysis and support antenna & RF integration.

• Support ground and flight testing, including on-site troubleshooting.

• Manage system configurations, interfaces, and changes

• Ensure regulatory and licensing compliance (ETSI/FCC, spectrum usage).

• Contribute to system architecture and cross-functional design reviews.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, Embedded Systems, Physics (RF focus), or a comparable technical field

• 3–7+ years of hands-on experience in radio, data link, or wireless system integration

• Strong understanding of wireless protocols, RF behavior, and network performance

• Practical experience with mesh networking, MANETs, or multi-node wireless systems

• Proficiency with Linux-based systems, Python scripting, and C/C++

• Solid electronics and embedded systems experience

• Familiarity with PX4, ArduPilot, or comparable UAV stacks

• Strong debugging skills across hardware, firmware, and networking layers

• Experience with UAV, aerospace, or defense systems is a plus

• Experience with SDR platforms, PHY/MAC-level concepts, or secure communications is a plus

• Experience with radar technology is a plus
