Deep Learning Engineer (Radar Computer Vision)
Key Skills
Job Description
Turn complex radar data into clear detections – so our software can spot birds, drones, and airborne threats in real time.
As our Deep Learning Engineer, you architect and implement object detection frameworks for non-natural radar imagery. You work side-by-side with fellow AI specialists, software engineers, and radar experts to ensure your research translates directly to edge computing hardware.
Reporting to the AI Lead, your models directly power live radar systems across the globe.
What you'll do
Framework design and architecture: Build robust detection, segmentation, and tracking models for complex 3D, 4D, and 5D radar data. Translate raw signal processing concepts into high-performing neural network architectures.
Data strategy and label management: Develop innovative strategies to handle imperfect, sparse, or missing radar labels. Automate dataset creation and labeling workflows to keep research moving fast.
Model optimization for the edge: Optimize neural networks using TensorRT for real-time, low-latency inference. Ensure every model runs smoothly on edge hardware deployed in the field.
Cross-functional integration: Partner closely with software and radar engineers to integrate your models into live products. Co-develop and refine deep learning approaches alongside your AI teammates.
What you bring
Master's degree in Computer Vision, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, or a related field
5+ years of professional experience in deep learning research for computer vision
Proven expertise in object detection, segmentation, and classification models
Deep familiarity with radar data or non-natural signal modalities like LiDAR, sonar, or medical imaging
Hands-on experience deploying and optimizing models for edge computing hardware
Advanced proficiency in Python and PyTorch
Experience with TensorRT or similar high-performance inference libraries is a strong advantage
Fluent English, both written and spoken

About Robin Radar
Industry: Defense and Space Manufacturing
Company size: 51-200 employees
We’re Robin Radar Systems, and we have you covered. Robin is a Netherlands-based technology leader in bird and drone radar. Our mission is to provide actionable information that increases safety, for humans and wildlife alike. Our systems are built for accuracy, delivering 360° coverage and early warnings. They empower teams in aviation, ecology, defence and security with reliable updates and alerts of potential hazards. We do that by combining cutting-edge hardware with smart software. Our technologies may be ahead of the pack, but our people make us great. Looking for an innovative adventure that spans the globe? Join ours! https://www.robinradar.com/careers Bird Strike Prevention in Aviation Our bird radar systems monitor and store bird movements around the clock. With MAX, you get 3D, 360° awareness, 365 days a year. As well as bringing awareness to a whole new level, our radars provide key insights, like data trends and activity hotspots, to assess and strengthen strategies and KPIs. Bird Monitoring at Wind Farms Increasingly, permits to build wind farms are given under the pre-condition that bird movements are continuously monitored before, during and after construction. Our 3D avian radars simultaneously detect and log thousands of birds and bats, providing extensive reporting for your wind farm’s smooth development and operation. MAX can even detect the beginning of mass migrations and, if needed, trigger the temporary shutdown of single or groups of turbines. Protect wildlife, minimise downtime. Drone Detection in Critical Environments Small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) or ‘drones’ bring new opportunities, but also severe safety and security threats. We believe advanced detection is your first line of defence, so our systems are deployable, integrate seamlessly, and provide 360° coverage, even on the move. Our purpose-built drone detection radar, IRIS, can detect, track, and automatically distinguish birds from drones.
