Your Impact

Join our team to bring next-generation RF sensor products from concept to reliable, scalable production. As a Systems Engineer II, you will own the hardware lifecycle for RF-based counter-drone detection systems, working across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and certification. You will also contribute to early technical decisions such as concept definition and component selection.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end lifecycle of RF sensor hardware, from early prototypes through production ramp and sustaining support.
• Support early-phase development through concept definition and component selection (RF, compute, power, and interfaces).
• Drive manufacturing readiness, including design for manufacturing and testing, pilot builds, production bring-up, and continuous improvement.
• Partner closely with production, suppliers/CMs, and quality teams to solve production issues, improve yield, and implement product changes.
• Support compliance and certification activities (e.g., RED/FCC), including test planning, lab coordination, technical documentation, and follow-ups.
• Lead system-level integration across RF subsystems, mechanical and electrical interfaces, and supporting compute and power elements.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and software teams to deliver robust, manufacturable systems.

What You Bring

• Degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience owning hardware products across the lifecycle, ideally including manufacturing introduction and sustaining engineering.
• Solid systems-level understanding of RF products, with hands-on validation and troubleshooting skills.
• Experience supporting concept development and making pragmatic component choices for production-ready hardware.
• Exposure to regulatory compliance and certification processes (e.g., RED/FCC) is a strong plus.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills and a practical, solution-oriented mindset.
