# Sensor Fusion Engineer – Multi-Sensor Integration (m/f/d) at Alpine Eagle GmbH

- **Company:** Alpine Eagle GmbH
- **Location:** Karlsruhe Baden-Württemberg Germany München Bavaria, Germany
- **Posted:** 2026-10-07
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-11-02
- **Apply:** https://job-boards.eu.greenhouse.io/alpineeagle/jobs/4999743101

## Job description

We are developing a next-generation C-UAS Multi-Agent System that integrates sensors, effectors, and multiple agents into a coherent system for monitoring, coordination, and control. Our system combines data from radar, EO/IR cameras, passive RF sensors, OSINT, and other sources to detect, track, and understand objects and activities in real time.

We are looking for a Sensor Fusion Engineer who enjoys working hands-on with real sensor data and takes ownership from sensor integration through algorithms, testing, and deployment. You will turn heterogeneous and imperfect sensor data into reliable tracks and actionable situational awareness.

Tasks

- Develop and implement multi-sensor fusion and tracking algorithms
- Integrate data from radar, cameras, passive RF, OSINT, and other sensors
- Develop methods for sensor registration, calibration, synchronization, data association, and track fusion
- Work with real-world sensor data, including recording, replay, visualization, and analysis
- Investigate sensor and tracking problems and identify their root causes
- Develop tools and processes to evaluate and improve fusion performance
- Integrate fusion components with the wider C-UAS system and downstream applications
- Take ownership of components from concept through implementation, integration, testing, and deployment

## Requirements

Essential

- Professional experience with C++
- Practical experience in sensor fusion, perception, tracking, or multi-sensor integration
- Hands-on experience working with real sensor data
- Experience with multi-object tracking and methods such as Kalman filters, EKF/UKF, or related approaches
- Pragmatic engineering mindset and ability to solve problems independently
- Strong sense of ownership and initiative
- Ability to work effectively across disciplines
- Fluent in English; German is a plus

Valuable

- Experience with radar, EO/IR, passive RF, ADS-B, or OSINT
- Experience with track-to-track and measurement-level fusion
- Experience with geospatial data and coordinate transformations
- Experience with ROS2
- Skills for data analysis and visualization
- Experience with Linux, Docker, Git, and CI/CD
- Experience with autonomous systems, robotics, aerospace, defense, C-UAS, or other mission-critical systems
- Experience with simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, and field testing

## What we are looking for

You like getting close to the actual data and the actual system. You enjoy investigating unexpected sensor behavior, debugging complex problems, and turning experiments into robust production software.

You are proactive and take ownership. When something does not work, you investigate it, identify the problem, drive the solution, and verify that it works in the real world.

At Alpine Eagle, we are committed to diversity and equal opportunity. We welcome applications from all individuals regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion, disability, age, or sexual identity.

## About Alpine Eagle GmbH

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Alpine Eagle builds airborne counter-unmanned aircraft systems (c-UAS) to detect and intercept hostile drones at scale.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) – raised €10.25 M seed round in Q1 2025
- **Headquarters**: Munich, Germany (with offices in Karlsruhe and London)
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Jan-Hendrik Boelens (Co-Founder & CEO) and Timo Breuer (Co-Founder); additional founding team members include Jamie Bennett and other aerospace engineers.

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Defence technology / Counter-UAS (counter-drone systems)
- **Target customers**: B2B / B2G – military and security forces, government agencies, and allied defence partners.
- **Mission purpose**: “Restoring control of low-altitude airspace” by providing mobile, persistent, and cost-effective airborne defence against autonomous drone threats.

## Products & Services
- **Sentinel**: An airborne c-UAS system that integrates multi-sensor detection (radar, EO/IR), fire control, and kinetic interception into a single networked platform. Sentinel is the world’s first air-to-air counter-drone system, designed to operate as a closed sensor-to-shooter loop. The system can be deployed as a swarm or as a single unit and is terrain-independent. *Type: Hardware + Software (SaaS-like mission management).*
- **Distributed sensor network** (patent filed Feb 2025): A swarm of unmanned autonomous vehicles that implements a distributed sensor network for wide-area surveillance and threat identification.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed.
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – USD 10.96 M (€10.25 M) as of April 2025.
- **Notable Investors**: IQ Capital (lead), HCVC, General Catalyst, High-Tech Gruenderfonds, Expeditions Fund, and 3 other undisclosed investors.
- **Growth Signals**:
  - 125% headcount growth (YoY, from ~12 to 27 employees) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/alpineeagle/)
  - Deployed Sentinel with Ukrainian Armed Forces in active combat environments (Q2 2025) [alpineeagle.com](https://alpineeagle.com/about-us/)
  - First systems delivered to Bundeswehr for operational trials (2024)
  - Expanded operations to the UK and Netherlands in 2025
  - 15 active job postings and a 66.7% YoY increase in job postings

## Competitive Advantages
- **Airborne approach** – Unlike ground-based systems, Alpine Eagle’s air-to-air interceptors can detect and engage drones at long range (beyond 5 km), closing the gap that conventional systems leave open.
- **Cost efficiency** – Significantly lower per‑intercept cost compared to high-end ground-based systems, making swarm‑scale deployment affordable.
- **Mobility & persistence** – Systems are forward-deployable, rapidly relocatable, and can sustain 24/7 operations.
- **Proven in combat** – Operational validation with Ukrainian forces provides real‑world credibility.
- **Integrated tech stack** – In‑house expertise in machine learning, sensor fusion, radar, and aeronautical engineering.

## Strategic Focus
- **Scaling from prototype to production** – Transitioning from trial deployments to mass‑production for European and allied militaries.
- **Geographic expansion** – Building commercial teams in Poland, UK, and other Eastern European markets.
- **Deepening autonomy** – Enhancing computer vision, autonomous swarm coordination, and closed-loop mission management.
- **Partnerships** – Working closely with NATO and allied defence procurement agencies.

## Why Work Here
- **Cutting‑edge mission** – Engineers work on real‑world autonomous systems that are deployed in live defence operations.
- **High growth trajectory** – The team doubled in 12 months; new hires will shape the company’s culture and technical direction.
- **Deep tech culture** – Teams are split across machine learning, sensor fusion, flight physics, and radar engineering; strong background from companies like Volocopter, Quantum Systems, Airbus, and Fraunhofer.
- **Flexible locations** – Offices in Munich and Karlsruhe (Germany) and a growing presence in London. Roles are primarily on‑site, but some hybrid working is possible.
- **Notable perks** – Not disclosed, but the environment emphasises “passion and drive” and the chance to build a radically different defence capability from the ground up.
