Alpine Eagle GmbH

Computer Radar Software Engineer for Drone Systems

In short

This senior Radar Software Engineer role at a deep-tech counter-drone defence company involves developing, optimizing and benchmarking radar signal processing and object-tracking algorithms for drone systems, integrating them with hardware teams. It requires 7+ years of experience in radar signal processing, strong C++, solid Python, embedded development (ARM/Neon, Cuda), and ROS2 experience. The role is based onsite in Munich, Germany, full-time.

About Us
At Alpine Eagle, we're building the future of counter-drone defence. We're a fast-growing, international deep-tech company working at the intersection of aerospace engineering, defence systems, and machine learning. Our goal: create the world's first swarm-based, airborne counter-drone system. Modern conflicts show how quickly drones are reshaping the battlefield. Threats are rising, and today's solutions aren't keeping pace. We're here to change that. Alpine Eagle isn't just a defence company. It's a mission. Backed by an international team, strong funding, and a bold vision, we're looking for people who want to shape the next generation of aerial security and build something that truly matters.
