Sine Engineering builds the technology behind reliable drone autonomy - communications, navigation, and control that keep multi-drones coordinated at once. Over 200 UAV manufacturers rely on our systems, and our technology powers most of the interceptor operations active today. Through a dual-use platform, we support civilian innovation while helping democratic nations strengthen their technological edge. Any drone, any scale, anywhere - resilient communication, navigation, and coordination built for the age of autonomy. We are looking for a Wireless Protocol & Algorithms Architect to design next-generation custom radio protocols and algorithms from the ground up. You will work alongside an exceptional team of engineers, shaping the waveforms, modems, and signal processing chains that power resilient, jamming-resistant wireless links - and feeding those designs directly into custom Radio System-on-Chip (SoC) development. Multiple positions are open and will be filled on a rolling basis.

About the role

Summarised by JobCrawls from the job ad above.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in wireless algorithm design, modem architecture, or PHY-layer R&D
  • Strong background in digital communications: modulation, coding, synchronization, equalization, and multi-antenna techniques
  • Solid understanding of fixed-point implementation, complexity analysis, and translating algorithms into hardware-friendly specifications
  • Knowledge of RF requirements and constraints (e.g., transceivers and analog beamforming)
  • Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or C++ for modeling, simulation, and performance analysis
  • English proficiency at B1 level or higher

Responsibilities

  • Design custom wireless protocols and waveforms with a strong focus on resilience against jamming, interception, and contested RF environments (LPI/LPD, frequency hopping, spread spectrum, adaptive techniques, beamforming)
  • Architect, specify, and optimize the modem baseband and transceiver signal chain for custom radio systems
  • Contribute to translating algorithmic designs into SoC-implementable specifications, including fixed-point analysis and HW/SW partitioning
  • Build reference models and simulation environments (MATLAB / Python / C++) to validate protocol and algorithm performance under realistic channel and threat conditions
  • Drive performance analysis and link-level studies - including throughput, latency, range, robustness, and power consumption
  • Collaborate closely with SoC architects, RF, digital design, software, and system modeling teams across the full development lifecycle - from concept through silicon bring-up to field validation
