As the global leader in cyber-takeover counter-drone technology, we design and deliver advanced, software-defined solutions that empower our customers to detect, take control, and safely land unauthorized drones — with precision and reliability.

Every day, we push the boundaries of innovation to meet real-world security challenges across industries and environments. We’re proud of our cutting-edge technology, our global reach, and the impact we make in securing the skies.

We’re seeking passionate professionals who thrive in a fast-paced, creative, and collaborative environment — those who want to be part of the next generation of airspace security innovation.

Join D-Fend Solutions and help make the world a safer place.
Become a D-Fender! Work with the world’s leading cyber-takeover counter-drone technology provider and shape the future of safe airspace.
Scope:
As an RF/HW Validation Engineer, you will bridge the gap between HW & RF validation and complex system-level testing. You will design, develop, and execute automated and manual test plans to verify the performance, reliability, and compliance of our SDR (Software Defined Radio) architectures and multi-layered tactical systems (including integration with other systems).

Key Responsibilities

    • System-Level Testing: Execute end-to-end system testing of counter-drone platforms, verifying the integration of RF hardware, firmware, and complex software-defined radio algorithms under real-world scenarios.
    • Hardware Product Testing: Test and validate various HW products, including antennas, radar systems, jammers, and related peripherals.
    • Failure Analysis & Troubleshooting: Debug complex RF anomalies, signal integrity issues, and system bugs down to the component/board level, working closely with RF Design, Board Design, and SW teams.
    • Documentation: Create comprehensive test plans (ATP/DTP), write test reports, and present data-driven analysis to cross-functional R&D teams to impact the next generation of hardware.

Requirements

  • B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering / Electronic Engineering or a related
    technical discipline.
  • 5+ years of experience in RF system testing and validation.
  • RF Technical Skills: Deep understanding of RF parameters and concepts: S-parameters, EVM, BER, NF, P1dB, Phase Noise, Link Budget. Hands-on
    experience with high-end RF test equipment (Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Anritsu).
  • Strong troubleshooting skills in multi-disciplinary systems involving RF, HW, Embedded SW, and Linux environments.
  • Creative, hands-on approach with a strong troubleshooting orientation.
  • Fluent in English (written and verbal).

Advantages (Nice to Have)

  • Experience with SDR (Software Defined Radio) architectures and FPGA-based
    RF systems.
  • Experience with regulatory compliance testing (FCC, CE, ETSI, MIL-STD).
  • Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP) and wireless protocols (Wi-Fi,
    Bluetooth, LTE/5G).
  • Test Automation: Develop, optimize, and maintain automated RF test
    environments and scripts using Python to streamline chip validation and
    production testing.
  • Background in the defense-tech, electronic warfare (EW), or telecommunications
    industries.
