Responsibilities

• Develop new algorithms and ensure seamless hardware, software, and network integration.
• Design test scripts and diagnostic tools to optimize functionality and prevent regression.
• Identify design or operational risks and engineer proactive mitigation strategies.
• Partner with Product Managers and Developers to deliver efficient radar solutions.
• Analyze system data—including false alarms and tracking accuracy—to improve performance.
• Research academic solutions and supervise MSc/PhD students on corporate research projects.
• Collaborate with key customers and internal teams to define and resolve feature requirements.
• Establish best practices and innovative routines to maximize engineering quality.
• Create and maintain detailed design documentation, technical specifications, and test reports.
• Coordinate system, software, and knowledge transfers during the formal release process.
  
  

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or a relevant technical field.
• 3+ years of experience in engineering science, computer operating systems, hardware, and software.
• Proficiency in software and programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, and C++.
• Full professional fluency in English (written and spoken).
• Strong system-level thinking and analytical skills to diagnose complex problems and implement proactive improvements.
• Excellent cross-functional communication skills, with experience collaborating across diverse teams, academic institutions, and international clients.
• High autonomy and attention to detail, with the ability to manage tasks independently while staying aligned with the team.

Robin is a technology leader in tracking and classification of small objects. Our mission is to increase the safety of people and wildlife by preventing bird strikes in aviation, reducing the environmental impact of wind farms, and protecting humans and critical infrastructure against drones. We achieve this by combining purpose-built radars with unique software algorithms. This powerful combination allows us to provide actionable information that empowers users to prevent serious incidents.

We're growing. Fast. In fact, we are one of the top 10 fastest‑growing companies in the Netherlands. But despite this growth, we stay true to our core values of trust, ownership and aiming high. At Robin, you don't join just a team. You join a collective of bright minds driven by the belief that 'doing things better' is a continuous challenge.

Want to work on next-level radar tech, solve real problems, and never have to pretend your job has meaning?

You'll fit right in, we're saving you a seat.
