About the role

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and fly RF and communications systems for long-endurance stratospheric aircraft
  • Own RF subsystems end to end: architecture, link budgets, component selection, integration, test, and flight validation
  • Design and integrate radios, antennas, RF front ends, and data links for LOS and BLOS operation
  • Drive RF performance through analysis, simulation, bench testing, and flight data
  • Lead EMI/EMC mitigation across avionics, power, and payload systems
  • Work closely with avionics, GNC, electrical, mechanical, and software teams to deliver robust flight communications
  • Support integration, production bring-up, and flight operations in the desert

Requirements

  • 2+ years designing and deploying real RF systems for aerospace, defense, UAVs, or similarly demanding environments
  • Strong fundamentals in RF theory, electromagnetics, and communications systems
  • Experience with link budgets, antenna design or selection, RF propagation, and system-level trade studies
  • Hands-on experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators, power meters)
  • Experience debugging RF systems in the field, not just in simulation
  • Comfort working from first principles and validating performance through test and flight data
  • Ability to move fast, own outcomes, and operate with minimal supervision

Compensation

  • US salary range: $120,000 - $220,000 USD
  • Highly competitive equity grants
  • Top market salary and bonuses
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Daily lunch
  • Unlimited Celsius
