Electrical Engineer

Rockstar is recruiting for a venture-backed Warfighter technology company focused on increasing the lethality and survivability of U.S. and allied Warfighters. The client builds LADRS (Laser Aiming & Drone Remote System), a solution to cognitive overload on the modern battlefield. This is a ground-floor opportunity to join a mission-driven team.

The client is seeking an Electrical Engineer to own PCB design for its innovative weapon-mounted remote control system, from schematic capture through fabrication, assembly, and test. The Electrical Engineer will design both analog and digital circuits and get hands-on with bring-up and debug on the bench. They will work alongside other engineers on the team throughout the process, from firmware and mechanical to RF layout support and testing.

• Owns the PCB layouts
• Designs analog and digital circuits for sensors, payload electronics, and communication modules
• Designs for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) to support production-scale builds
• May work with PCB fabrication and contract assembly vendors: quoting, DFM reviews, issue resolution
• Develops and runs test procedures for board bring-up and validation
• Selects and integrates RF communication components; works with modulation/encoding schemes (e.g., FSK, LoRa)
• Builds, reworks, and debugs prototypes themselves: soldering, rework, bench instrumentation (scope, multimeter, spectrum analyzer)
• Collaborates with firmware and mechanical engineering on system-level integration

• 5+ years of experience designing PCBs that shipped to production, including assembly and test
• Proficiency in Altium Designer and/or Ki Cad
• Strong fundamentals in analog and digital circuit design
• Working knowledge of RF communication techniques: FSK, LoRa, modulation, encoding/decoding
• Able to produce a complete, correct RF schematic
• Hands-on lab experience: comfortable soldering, reworking boards, and debugging hardware themselves
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent

• Experience working with PCB fab/assembly vendors
• Experience designing to military specifications (MIL-STD)
• Prior work with weapon-mounted devices/electronics
• Prior work on small UAV, drone, or other size/weight/power-constrained electronics
• Experience building RF transmitter/receiver modules for video transmission
• Prior U.S. military service, especially in Army, Marine Corps, Airborne, Ranger, SOF units (or any other relevant units)
• Active or prior Secret clearance is a plus

The client was forged from battlefield frustration: the technology built for the modern Warfighter kept creating the very problems it promised to solve.

That's why the client built LADRS (Laser Aiming & Drone Remote System), its answer to one of the most dangerous problems on the modern battlefield: cognitive overload.

The client is a venture-backed Warfighter technology company, and LADRS is just the start. Everything the client builds is aimed at giving U.S. and allied Warfighters an unfair & decisive edge. This is a ground-floor role for someone ready to grow with the company.

• The client believes in the mission: increasing the lethality and survivability of U.S. and allied Warfighters
• Based at the client's offices in the Atlanta, GA metro area
• Open to local or relocating candidates
• Travel 5%-10% CONUS/OCONUS to customer sites, exercises, and industry events

Compensation reflects a range of factors including relevant experience, education, certifications, specialized skills, geographic location, and business needs, and will be discussed during the interview process.

• Competitive pay and a real benefits package
