Electrical Engineer

Job Purpose/Summary

Support the design and development of ruggedized, low-SWaP RF sensor nodes for distributed counter-UAS (CUAS) applications. This role will lead efforts to integrate wideband RF front ends, optimize power and thermal profiles, and prepare systems for fixed-site deployment. The position is critical to ensuring reliable, cost-effective, and scalable hardware for passive RF detection in mission-critical environments.

• Design and integrate RF front-end electronics and supporting circuitry for passive RF sensing nodes.
• Develop thermal management solutions for continuous outdoor operation across varied environments.
• Lead hardware design reviews and ensure compliance with electrical and environmental standards.
• Collaborate with mechanical and systems engineers to package electronics into ruggedized enclosures.
• Support testing and validation of node performance in lab and field environments.
• Create and maintain detailed electrical schematics, BOMs, and layout files.

Minimum

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)
• 3+ years experience designing RF or embedded electronics
• Familiarity with wideband RF signal chains, power management, and EMI considerations
• Familiarity with RF components and interconnects
• Proficiency with PCB design tools (e.g., Altium, KiCAD)
• Ability to work hands-on with test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs)

Desired

• Experience in low-SWaP embedded designs and outdoor-deployed systems
• Knowledge of direction-finding techniques
• Experience with mixed signal designs
• Experience with board bring up
• Familiarity with military or rugged hardware design standards (e.g., MIL-STD-810)
• Experience integrating SDRs (e.g., Ettus, Blade
  
  RF)
• Active DoD clearance or eligibility

• Candidates should live within driving distance of the following areas:
  Wichita, KS;
  Lawton, OK; or Round Rock, TX.
• This position is remote with occasional in-person meetings as needed.
• This position may occasionally require travel (less than 10% time).

No special physical requirements.
