Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLEWe're looking for an RF Engineer to design, optimize, and deploy advanced radio systems that support our autonomy and airspace intelligence platform. This role sits at the intersection of hardware, signal processing, and real-world deployment.You'll own antenna design and RF performance across our systems, while also contributing to next-generation capabilities in passive RF-based drone detection and tracking. This is not a pure research role — you'll be expected to build, test, iterate, and ship hardware that performs in the field.WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

Design, prototype, and optimize RF systems for airborne and ground-based platforms
Develop, tune, and validate antenna systems (custom and off-the-shelf) for performance, range, and reliability
Conduct RF testing, measurement, and analysis (VNA, spectrum analyzer, SDRs, etc.)
Improve signal integrity, reduce noise/interference, and optimize system-level RF performance
Design and iterate on in-house antenna solutions (patch, dipole, phased arrays, etc.)
Build and test RF pipelines for passive detection and classification of wireless emitters
Develop and implement techniques for RF-based localization and triangulation
Work with SDR platforms to capture, process, and analyze RF signals in real time
Collaborate with software and autonomy teams to integrate RF data into higher-level systems
Support field testing and deployment, including debugging real-world RF issues
Contribute to hardware architecture decisions across communications and sensing systems

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSRequired

Strong fundamentals in RF engineering, electromagnetics, and antenna theory
Hands-on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators)
Experience designing, tuning, or modifying antennas
Solid understanding of signal propagation, interference, and link budgets
Experience working with SDRs (e.g., USRP, HackRF, BladeRF, etc.)
Familiarity with RF signal processing concepts (filtering, modulation, detection)
Experience debugging real-world RF systems
Ability to prototype and iterate quickly in a lab environment

Preferred

Experience with RF-based localization / triangulation techniques (TDOA, RSSI, AoA, etc.)
Background in passive RF sensing or spectrum monitoring
Experience with drone communication protocols and RF signatures
Familiarity with embedded systems or firmware (C/C++ or similar)
Experience designing RF systems for harsh or dynamic environments (e.g., airborne systems)
Knowledge of regulatory constraints (FCC, spectrum compliance)
Exposure to phased arrays or beamforming systems

Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance: 100% of premiums covered for employees, 80% for dependents
Compensation: Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses
Equity: Stock options offering real ownership in what you're building
Retirement: 401(k) plan
Insurance: Life, short-term, and long-term disability coverage

Perks: Free daily lunch and dinner, with snacks and drinks stocked in the office
