RF/Comms Security Engineer

Position: RF/Comms Security Engineer (1–2 roles)   

Location: Aluva / Kochi, India (with travel to test ranges and defense partner sites)

Department: UAV AI Division, Canary Digital.ai

Role Overview

As an RF/Comms Security Engineer, you will design, implement, and secure communication systems for Canary Digital's UAV platforms. You will be responsible for encrypted telemetry/video links, anti-jamming measures, and cryptographic friend-or-foe (IFF) beacon integration. This role bridges radio engineering, cybersecurity, and UAV operations, ensuring mission-critical UAV systems remain secure, resilient, and compliant with defense requirements.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and implement secure UAV communication links (telemetry, command/control, video streaming).
  • Integrate and test AES-256 or military-grade encryption on UAV links.
  • Develop and deploy crypto beacon/IFF protocols for friend-or-foe identification.
  • Build RF anomaly detection modules for GNSS spoofing/jamming awareness.
  • Collaborate with UAV Systems Engineers on comms integration with PX4/ArduPilot.
  • Support SOC/VMS integration by securing APIs, alert pipelines, and metadata streams.
  • Conduct RF field tests (range, resilience, interference).
  • Define key management systems for mission-based crypto rotation.
  • Document security architectures, risk assessments, and compliance requirements.

Required Skills & Experience

  • 4–8 years of experience in RF engineering / comms security / telecom / defense comms.
  • Strong expertise in radio protocols (LoRa, UWB, SDR, COFDM, LTE/5G).
  • Knowledge of encryption standards (AES, ECC, PKI) and secure key distribution.
  • Experience with GNSS systems and spoofing/jamming detection.
  • Familiarity with UAV telemetry protocols (MAVLink, RTSP/ONVIF for video).
  • Hands-on with SDR platforms (HackRF, USRP, LimeSDR) for prototyping.
  • Strong debugging skills in RF/noisy environments.

Preferred Background

  • Prior work in defense, aerospace, or telecom secure comms projects.
  • Familiarity with IFF Mode 4/5 concepts or tactical datalinks.
  • Experience in penetration testing of wireless systems.
  • Contributions to open-source RF/security projects (GNSS-SDR, gr-gsm, etc.).

What We Offer

  • Chance to develop next-gen secure comms for UAV AI systems.
  • Work on crypto IFF systems integrated with AI/ML payloads.
  • Collaborate with cross-disciplinary experts (AI, UAV, defense).
  • Competitive salary + incentives + ESOPs for strategic roles.
