Senior Radio Frequency Engineer II

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. We value diverse perspectives and teamwork. Life at Axon is fast‑paced, challenging, and meaningful. You’ll own projects, drive real change, and grow in a mission‑driven environment where you matter.

We’re out to make the world a safer place by solving big problems and taking on public safety challenges. From our company’s inception building TASER devices to a full suite of hardware and software solutions, we focus on providing police agencies with state‑of‑the‑art devices and services they need to serve and protect. In the next few years, we’ll eliminate the burden of paperwork in policing, so officers can spend more time building relationships.

We’ll put video at the heart of police records so the justice system can reach truth faster, and we won’t stop innovating until the bullet is rendered obsolete. It’s a big mission, but we pursue it relentlessly every day.

Location: On‑site 4 days per week at one of our US hubs (Scottsdale, Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, or Seattle)

Role: Senior RF Engineer II on the Wireless & Connectivity Center of Excellence (CoE) team

As a Senior RF Engineer II you will lead the design and development of advanced wireless connectivity solutions across our product portfolio—including Body‑Worn Cameras, in‑vehicle systems, wearables, and other next‑generation platforms. You will own RF architecture and implementation across a broad range of wireless technologies, from Wi‑Fi + Bluetooth combo modules to detailed chip‑down cellular designs, covering PCB layout, RF routing, matching networks, and antenna port optimization.

Your deep expertise in LTE, 5G, Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, and related systems will be applied to hands‑on design, validation, and performance optimization of mission‑critical video and communications products serving law enforcement, public safety, and enterprise customers. You will leverage technical depth, disciplined engineering approach, passion for wireless innovation, and strong ownership mindset to deliver robust, high‑performance designs meeting demanding reliability and coexistence requirements of real‑world public safety environments.

In addition to leading complex RF circuit designs, you will collaborate closely with global cross‑functional teams—spanning industrial design, hardware, firmware, mechanical, manufacturing, and regulatory—to deliver world‑class products  a senior technical contributor, you will influence architectural decisions, drive best practices in RF design and validation, and mentor engineers to elevate overall technical capability.

• Lead the RF design and integration of high‑performance wireless subsystems for compact, battery‑powered portable and vehicular products (drones, automotive‑mounted systems, mobile devices, action cameras)
• Actively contribute to the hands‑on design and optimization of chip‑down RF circuitry and integrated modules for technologies such as LTE, 5G, GNSS, Wi‑Fi, and Bluetooth, ensuring robust performance across complex multi‑radio systems
• Own the RF system architecture and execution from concept through mass production, collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and software engineering
• Partner with antenna engineers to select, evaluate, and integrate antenna solutions—printed, PCB, or metal—into high‑density product designs
• Conduct RF system debugging, interference mitigation, and receiver desense analysis to optimize real‑world performance
• Drive PCB layout for RF integrity, performing detailed layout reviews and driving design recommendations to ensure optimal wireless performance
• Oversee technical deliverables from design partners, managing schedules and ensuring engineering quality throughout the product lifecycle
• Characterize, test, and validate RF performance using lab equipment such as spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, radio testers, and RF chambers
• Conduct real‑world RF field testing to validate wireless performance, capture…
