Underwater UAV Detection Specialist (m/w/d) – Hydrophone-Based Aerial Threat Monitoring

Your mission

• Develop and optimize hydrophone-based detection systems to track UAVs operating over water surfaces
• Design signal processing algorithms for identifying UAV acoustic signatures in underwater environments
• Implement passive sonar and acoustic sensing techniques to detect UAV-generated disturbances, such as propeller noise, turbulence, and RF-water interactions
• Develop multi-sensor fusion models, integrating hydrophone data with EO/IR, radar, and RF sensing systems
• Conduct real-time Doppler analysis, machine learning-based acoustic classification, and anomaly detection for UAV tracking
• Optimize low-frequency underwater sensing for extended-range UAV detection in noisy maritime environments
• Perform field testing and validation in maritime and littoral zones, ensuring system reliability under varying environmental conditions
• Ensure compliance with military and defense acoustic sensing standards (MIL-STD, NATO STANAGs, ITAR, IEC underwater acoustics)

Your profile

• 5+ years experience in underwater acoustics, sonar technology, or hydrophone-based signal processing
• Expertise in passive sonar, acoustic wave propagation, and underwater signal detection
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C++, or GNU Radio for acoustic data analysis and machine learning models
• Experience with beamforming, array processing, and Doppler-based UAV classification
• Knowledge of fluid dynamics, sound propagation in water, and maritime UAV detection challenges

• Experience with multi-modal sensor fusion (acoustic + RF + EO/IR) for UAV detection
• Background in anti-submarine warfare (ASW), underwater surveillance, or marine autonomous systems
• Knowledge of AI-enhanced acoustic modeling and adversarial signal processing
