Algorithm Engineer

About this job
We are currently looking for an  Algorithm Engineer  to join the team in  Delft .

You will be part of the Defence & Security business unit, where we develop innovative solutions using space technologies. Within the domain of Positioning, Navigation and Timing (PNT), our work includes satellite navigation signal quality monitoring, radio-frequency (RF) interference direction-finding, and antenna array technologies for RF interference mitigation. Our solutions support applications in Defence, Space and Critical Infrastructure.

In this role, you will develop and implement algorithms to detect, classify and localize and suppress RF-emitters in challenging environments, and combining sensor outputs in an optimal way. Working in a collaborative team of 10 engineers, you will contribute to signal processing and system-control algorithm development and evaluate their performance using custom or off-the-shelf hardware. You will also carry out testing, verification and validation in laboratory environments and during field operations.

This position offers the opportunity to design innovative technical solutions, solve complex engineering challenges and contribute to product development in a dynamic, high-tech organisation.

Main responsibilities

Translate end-user needs   into  measurable technical and performance  requirements .

Design algorithmic processing architectures  that combine stochastic analysis, system identification, optimization and data-driven methods.

Develop and implement  signal-processing and system-control algorithms.

Collaborate with  software and hardware  engineers  to balance detection accuracy, computational performance and other product requirements.

Keep up to date with scientific developments  and state-of-the‑art techniques relevant to the field.

Design test benches  and define and perform testing, verification and validation activities.

Take ownership  of technical tasks and lead projects within larger programmes.

Requirements

Education:

A master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.

Experience:

A good understanding of signal processing, system control and digital communications.

Experience  in one or more relevant areas, such as RF systems, GNSS and satellite navigation, sensor fusion, system identification, stochastic modelling, constrained optimization (e.g. mixed integer), state-estimation.

Experience  in data-driven AI modelling is strongly preferred.

Knowledge:  Programming experience in Python is essential.

Experience with Rust, C or C++ is an advantage.

Experience:

The ability to communicate technical ideas clearly in English, both verbally and in writing. Knowledge of Dutch is an advantage.

Interest:  An interest in working in the Defence domain and the ability to obtain the required security clearances (Dutch, NATO and EU, as applicable).

Important:  You do not need to have experience in every technical area listed above. We value the different perspectives and expertise that people bring, whether developed through education, research or practical experience.
