Senior Radio Frequency Design Engineer

The role: We are looking for a Head of RF Engineering with 5-12 years of experience to own the architecture of a next-generation, high-power directed energy system that defends against drone swarms and suicide drones. You're a hands-on, first-principles RF systems engineer who has designed an RF lineup from a clean sheet, taken it through DFM, and shipped it to production. You'll join a small, well-funded team (recently raised $10M from Valor, Kantos and others) whose people come from Epirus, Northrop, MACOM, SpaceX/Starlink and DHS. You'll spend your first 6-9 months building, not managing, and then grow the RF team as the company scales. What will you be doing? Getting the V01 RF lineup finished and working within about 60 days: RF architecture design, component sourcing and simulation Owning and evolving the RF system architecture end to end (drivers, high-power GaN amplifiers, phased array antennas), with a focus on systems that are cost-effective and can be mass-manufactured Doing hands-on design work yourself, including antenna design and simulation in HFSS and component design across the RF lineup Running lab work with VNAs, signal generators and anechoic chamber testing, and solving new high-power RF and EMI/EMC problems Working daily with the electrical, mechanical and power electronics engineers so every interface stays current as the design changes
