About TYTAN
TYTAN Technologies aims to set a global standard in autonomous air defense with AI-driven, cost-efficient systems that counter unmanned aerial threats at scale. We protect people, critical infrastructure, and European sovereignty.
We are seeking a Senior Sensor Systems Architect (Ground Sensors) to lead the development of advanced multi-sensor detection solutions for ground-based systems. This role will own the complete sensor architecture and concept, defining the optimal sensor suite to meet mission and operational requirements. The successful candidate will act as the technical authority for sensor technologies, driving decisions across Radar, RF, Acoustics, EO/IR Cameras, and other detection systems, while coordinating key internal and external stakeholders.
Your Roadmap to Make an Impact
•Own the end-to-end sensor strategy and architecture for ground-based detection systems.
•Define and develop the overall sensor concept of operations (CONOPS) and sensor suite selection.
•Evaluate, trade-off, and integrate technologies including:
•Radar
•RF sensing and detection systems
•Acoustic sensors
•EO/IR cameras and imaging systems
•Multi-sensor fusion solutions
•Establish system-level requirements, performance metrics, and detection capabilities.
•Drive sensor integration activities with software, AI/ML, autonomy, and platform engineering teams.
•Act as the primary technical interface for customers, suppliers, and internal stakeholders.
Requirements
•Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.
•5+ years of experience developing or integrating advanced sensing systems.
•Strong expertise in one or more of the following domains:
•Ground radar
•RF sensing / EW systems
•Acoustic sensing
•EO/IR imaging systems
•Sensor fusion
•Experience owning sensor architectures or system concepts from requirements through deployment.
•Strong understanding of detection, tracking, target classification, and sensor performance analysis.
What We Offer
•Build technology with real operational impact: develop autonomous defense systems designed to protect lives and strengthen Europe's security.
•Shape scalable defense capabilities: work on solutions built for mass deployment, cost efficiency, resilience, and reliable production at scale.
•Contribute to networked air defense: help integrate systems into multi-layered defense architectures alongside sensors, command systems, and effectors.
•Develop for real-world operations: build capabilities together with end users and improve them continuously based on direct operational feedback.
•Move fast and take ownership: work in a focused, high-performance team where decisions are made quickly and individual contributions have immediate impact.
•Define a new generation of defense technology: join early and help shape the products, engineering standards, culture, and direction of a fast-growing deep-tech company.
•Work with an international mission-driven team: collaborate with experienced specialists united by the goal of creating sovereign and effective security capabilities for Europe.
•Virtual stock options (VSOPs) at the company's current valuation.
•Monthly allowances: €106/month in flexible benefits including lunch discounts and EGYM Wellpass or shopping credit.
•Regular health care events: health check-ups, skin screenings, mental health workshops, and an annual vitamin infusion.
•Referral bonus: earn a reward when someone you refer joins the team.
•Regular team events: on- and off-site activities.
•Corporate discounts across a wide range of partner brands.
•Flexibility: flexible working hours and hybrid work model, plus a modern Munich office built for focus and collaboration.
