Electronic Warfare Engineer

About the role

**Electronic Warfare Engineer**

Salary: Based on demonstrated capability \| Open for exceptional candidates

Location: Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (On\-site)

* No weekly off till 2\-4 months.

**About the Role**

SIGEAU OHMTECTURE is building indigenous defence technologies across RF, microwave, electronic warfare, high\-power communication systems and mission\-critical military electronics. We develop hardware intended for deployment in contested electromagnetic environments where reliability, survivability and engineering discipline determine mission success.

We are looking for an **Electronic Warfare (EW) / RF Systems Engineer** capable of architecting, designing, integrating and validating complete RF and EW subsystems—from concept through qualification and production. This is a hands\-on engineering position involving microwave hardware, SDR, signal processing, embedded systems and defence\-grade product realization.

The role is intended for engineers who enjoy solving problems that do not yet have established solutions rather than maintaining existing products.

**Key ResponsibilitiesElectronic Warfare Systems**

* Design and develop Electronic Support (ES), Electronic Protection (EP) and Electronic Attack (EA) subsystems. * Design adaptive RF systems capable of operation in congested and contested electromagnetic environments. * Analyse radar, communication and electronic\-emission characteristics for survivability and countermeasure development.

RF \& Microwave Engineering

* Design RF front ends, microwave assemblies and transmission subsystems. * Develop waveguide components including bends, twists, couplers, power dividers, filters, combiners, transitions, terminations and antenna interfaces. * Design high\-power RF chains including LNAs, filters, mixers, frequency converters and power amplifiers. * Perform link\-budget calculations, cascade noise analysis, gain budgeting and power budgeting. * Optimise RF performance for insertion loss, return loss, isolation, VSWR, phase stability and thermal behaviour. * Perform electromagnetic compatibility (EMC/EMI) analysis and mitigation.

Antennas \& Propagation

* Develop antenna feed networks and array architectures. * Work on beamforming, adaptive arrays, null steering and direction\-finding techniques. * Evaluate antenna performance through simulation and measurement. * Analyse propagation characteristics under operational conditions.

GNSS / Assured PNT

* Develop resilient navigation architectures capable of operating under GNSS denial. * Integrate multi\-constellation and multi\-frequency GNSS receivers. * Design anti\-spoofing and anti\-jamming countermeasures. * Work with INS integration, sensor fusion and navigation integrity monitoring.

SDR \& Tactical Communications

* Develop SDR\-based communication architectures. * Implement secure tactical datalinks. * Develop frequency\-hopping and adaptive waveform techniques. * Integrate encryption and communication security mechanisms. * Evaluate communication performance under hostile RF conditions.

Signal Processing

* Design DSP algorithms for detection, classification and tracking. * Develop adaptive filtering, interference suppression and jammer mitigation algorithms. * Implement beamforming and spectral estimation techniques. * Work with FPGA and DSP platforms for real\-time implementation.

Embedded Systems

* Develop embedded software using C/C\+\+ for defence electronics. * Interface FPGA, DSP and embedded processors. * Design hardware around high\-speed digital interfaces. * Participate in PCB architecture, schematic capture and hardware debugging.

System Integration

* Integrate RF, embedded, mechanical and power subsystems. * Perform subsystem and system\-level integration. * Resolve cross\-domain performance issues involving thermal, RF and mechanical interactions. * Support prototype development through production transition.

Verification \& Qualification

* Perform laboratory validation using: Vector Network Analysers (VNA), Spectrum Analysers, Signal Generators, Oscilloscopes, Power Meters, SDR Platforms, RF Power Measurement Systems, EMI/EMC Instrumentation, Environmental Qualification Equipment * Conduct system verification against military specifications.
