About the role
Responsibilities
Own the architecture and development of a software-defined radio platform from initial concept through production deployment.
Translate waveform and system requirements into radio specifications and make architecture decisions across RF transceivers, data converters, clocks, FPGAs, processors, memory, and high-speed interfaces.
Define how signal-processing functions are partitioned across RF hardware, FPGA logic, embedded software, and host-based compute.
Collaborate across RF, electrical, DSP, and FPGA teams on hardware design, embedded software, waveform integration, and end-to-end system performance.
Lead hardware bring-up, calibration, characterization, and troubleshooting, and develop automated testing to validate performance and reliability.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree with 4+ years of relevant experience, or Master’s degree with 2+ years of experience, in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related field.
Experience architecting or developing software-defined radios, wireless communications systems, radar systems, or similar RF platforms.
Strong understanding of the complete radio signal chain, including RF front ends, frequency conversion, data converters, clocking, digital processing, and system control.
Experience working with FPGAs, embedded processors, high-speed data converters, RF transceivers, and mixed-signal hardware.
Demonstrated ownership of a complex hardware-software system from architecture through bring-up and operational validation.
Nice-to-Haves
Experience developing an SDR or radio platform from a clean-sheet architecture.
Familiarity with RFSoCs, direct-RF sampling, JESD204 interfaces, integrated RF transceivers, or high-speed ADCs and DACs.
Experience with FPGA development, embedded C/C++ or Rust, and high-throughput interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe, or DMA.
Knowledge of digital communications, RF performance, clocking, calibration, and signal-chain impairments.
Experience developing radios for satellite communications, phased arrays, ground stations, radar, or electronic warfare applications.
Compensation and Benefits
Employment is subject to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR eligibility requirements.
Designs and leads development of custom gearing and actuator assemblies for advanced robotic systems, from architecture and prototyping through validation and production scaling. Requires a bachelor’s degree and 5+ years of experience in gears, robotic actuators, or precision mechatronic hardware.
