We Would Love You to Have

• Educational Background

  Degree in Electrical Engineering, Radar Systems, Communications, Applied Physics, or a related field. Specialisation in radar technology or signal processing is an advantage.

• Experience

  Relevant experience in radar or RF, ideally within defence, aerospace, or similarly demanding environments; expertise in managing subcontractors and coordinating the project lifecycle from concept to delivery.

• Technical Expertise

  Solid understanding of radar principles, signal processing, and electronic circuit design, with experience in developing complex systems.

Our Values

Our mission is ambitious, and it takes a team that works with the same intensity.

• Own the Mission: Mission first. Always.

  We choose impact - we focus on what moves the mission forward fastest instead of “nice-to-haves". We fix it now - when delays or problems appear, we step up, rally the right people, and solve them immediately. We keep momentum - when time matters, we stay focused and move forward without waiting for perfect conditions.

• Strive for More: Dare more. Do more. Achieve the impossible.

  We challenge the status quo - we question, test, and improve instead of accepting “the usual way.” We embrace discomfort - we step outside comfort zones and turn challenges into growth. We anticipate the future - we build solutions that scale and set higher standards each time.

• Build with Trust: Be open. Keep promises.

  We walk the talk - what we say, we do. No excuses, no exceptions. We share openly - we communicate clearly and early, even when the news is hard. We own outcomes - we admit errors quickly, fix them, and prevent them from repeating.
