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
As a Senior Engineer, Load Integration & Model Development, you will expand energy infrastructure and integrate large-load facilities into the electric grid. This role focuses on connecting and optimizing operations within the grid, requiring deep technical expertise in power systems and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
