About the role
We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here. The RF Engineer leads the design, analysis, and integration of RF and antenna systems across Zone 5 products. This role is responsible for developing high-performance communication and RF architectures that operate reliably in complex electromagnetic environments. You will work across the full lifecycle—from concept and trade studies through integration, test, and production—partnering closely with Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software, Integration, and Test to deliver robust, scalable RF solutions.
What you'll bring
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
- 7+ years of experience in RF system design, analysis, or integration.
- Strong experience with RF architectures including transceivers, front-end design, and antenna integration.
- Familiarization with MANET radios (e.g. Silvus, Persistent Systems, DTC, or similar).
- Proficiency with RF modeling and simulation tools (e.g., HFSS, CST, ADS, or similar).
- Experience performing RF system analysis (interference, system performance).
- Strong understanding of TCP/IP, UDP, multicast, RTSP, and other transmission protocols, with the ability to perform link budget and data throughput analysis.
- Hands-on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators).
- Programming or scripting experience (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C/C++, bash) for modeling and data analysis.
- Strong troubleshooting skills in complex RF environments.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate effectively across IPTs.
- M.S. or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or related discipline.
