RF Engineer

About the role

The RF Engineer will support testing, characterization, and basic analysis of radio-frequency systems used in communications, UAS control, and threat device assessment. They will work under the guidance of senior engineers and technicians, assisting with hands-on RF measurements, documentation, and lab activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Assist in testing and troubleshooting RF power amplifiers, receiver circuits, and other RF components
• Use RF lab equipment such as Vector Network Analyzers, Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Arbitrary Signal Generators, and Software-Defined Radios to collect measurements and verify system performance
• Support characterization of cellular and wireless communication systems related to jamming and interference testing
• Help develop basic schematics and block diagrams during reverse engineering activities of RF based devices
• Perform introductory RF signal analysis on UAS control systems and help prepare technical summaries or reports
• Support senior staff in evaluating high power RF transmitter and jamming systems, including basic amplifier stage measurements
• Assist with receiver and antenna test activities, including documenting performance results and configuration changes
• Prepare clear documentation, diagrams, and organized test data for engineering review

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or a related discipline (or equivalent practical experience)
• 2 years of experience with BS/BA; 0 years with MS/MA; 6 years with no degree
• Basic understanding of RF concepts such as gain, impedance, bandwidth, and signal behavior
• Hands-on lab experience with common RF test equipment, either through coursework, internships, or personal projects
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• Willingness to learn advanced RF techniques and support more experienced team members

Preferred Qualifications

• Exposure to UAS systems, SDRs, RF signal analysis, or communications systems (academic or project-based experience accepted)
• Familiarity with EMI/EMC concepts or military standards
• Interest in reverse engineering or RF device teardown work
