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\nDesign, prototype, and optimize RF systems for airborne and ground-based platforms\nDevelop, tune, and validate antenna systems (custom and off-the-shelf) for performance, range, and reliability\nConduct RF testing, measurement, and analysis (VNA, spectrum analyzer, SDRs, etc.)\nImprove signal integrity, reduce noise/interference, and optimize system-level RF performance\nDesign and iterate on in-house antenna solutions (patch, dipole, phased arrays, etc.)\nBuild and test RF pipelines for passive detection and classification of wireless emitters\nDevelop and implement techniques for RF-based localization and triangulation\nWork with SDR platforms to capture, process, and analyze RF signals in real time\nCollaborate with software and autonomy teams to integrate RF data into higher-level systems\nSupport field testing and deployment, including debugging real-world RF issues\nContribute to hardware architecture decisions across communications and sensing systems\nTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSRequired\nStrong fundamentals in RF engineering, electromagnetics, and antenna theory\nHands-on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators)\nExperience designing, tuning, or modifying antennas\nSolid understanding of signal propagation, interference, and link budgets\nExperience working with SDRs (e.g., USRP, HackRF, BladeRF, etc.)\nFamiliarity with RF signal processing concepts (filtering, modulation, detection)\nExperience debugging real-world RF systems\nAbility to prototype and iterate quickly in a lab environment\n PreferredExperience with RF-based localization / triangulation techniques (TDOA, RSSI, AoA, etc.)\nBackground in passive RF sensing or spectrum monitoring\nExperience with drone communication protocols and RF signatures\nFamiliarity with embedded systems or firmware (C/C++ or similar)\nExperience designing RF systems for harsh or dynamic environments (e.g., airborne systems)\nKnowledge of regulatory constraints (FCC, spectrum compliance)\nExposure to phased arrays or beamforming systems\nOUR STACKHARDWARE / RF\nCustom antennas, SDR platforms, RF test equipment\nPROCESSING\nReal-time signal processing pipelines\nSYSTEMS\nIntegrated with autonomy, telemetry, and distributed infrastructure\nWHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR\nWe need someone who identifies problems, owns them end-to-end, and drives solutions into production.\nYou'll excel in this role if you:\nThink in terms of systems, not components\nCan take a vague problem and turn it into a working solution\nAre comfortable moving between theory, lab work, and field deployment\nBias toward building and testing over excessive modeling\nThrive in fast iteration cycles with real-world constraints\nWant to push the boundaries of RF-based sensing and detection\nBENEFITS\nHealth, Dental, and Vision Insurance: 100% of premiums covered for employees, 80% for dependents\nCompensation: Competitive salary with performance-based bonuses\nEquity: Stock options offering real ownership in what you're building\nRetirement: 401(k) plan\nInsurance: Life, short-term, and long-term disability coverage\nPerks: Free daily lunch and dinner, with snacks and drinks stocked in the office","description_format":"text","description_chars":3716,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Retirement
