The role

Design the communication technologies that connect today's robots and power the physical AI era.

We're looking for a hands-on RF systems engineer who still loves the lab and is ready to lead. You'll own system-level specs for our radio product lines, bring up boards, chase down RF bugs, and mentor a small team of systems engineers. The specs you own (size, power, signal quality) become the SWaP, latency, and reliability numbers that robots and physical AI depend on. You'll help define and build the first generation of Eridan hardware designed to live on the robot itself.

What you will do

Own the radio, end to end. Architecture, integration, and verification for your product scope, with your hands on the bench for RF debug and board bring-up.
Turn customer needs into hard specs. Be the bridge between Solutions Engineering and R&D, from private 5G operators today to robotics and physical AI customers tomorrow.
Grow a team. Lead and mentor a small team of systems engineers and own their technical development.
Make hardware and software move together. Translate design decisions into clear requirements for firmware and software, and drive qualification with Test and Ops.
Get it to production. Set the design standards and reviews that make our products manufacturable at volume.

What you need

Education: B.S. or M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field
Experience & Leadership: 5+ years in RF systems engineering (at the radio unit, subsystem, or component level) with a strong desire to step into a leadership role and manage a small team
Hands-on RF Design: End-to-end hardware development experience (schematic to PCB)—featuring circuit-level fluency in transceiver architectures, cellular TDD/FDD systems, layout impedance best practices, and power distribution analysis (not solely system-level oversight)
Product Lifecycle: Proven track record of navigating the full hardware lifecycle, scaling products from initial conceptual prototypes to robust, high-volume production-ready designs
Requirements & Integration: Proven ability to translate customer requirements into rigorous engineering deliverables and drive complex hardware/software co-development
Communication & Assertiveness: Strong communication skills across cross-functional audiences, including the ability to push back and firmly hold a technical position during rigorous systems design meetings
5G Radio Hardware: Experience with 5G systems, including O-RAN, small cell, or macro radio architectures
Work Authorization: Must be legally authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future employer sponsorship or visa transfers

Nice to have

Experience at a startup or growth-stage hardware company
Experience with CU/DU/RU integration
Strong understanding of communications theory
Proficiency in scripting languages (e.g., Python, C#, MATLAB) for automation and testing
Familiarity with 3GPP specifications
Hands-on experience with advanced lab testing equipment (e.g., VNAs, spectrum analyzers)

Pay and benefits

Given our anticipated growth, we are open to hiring individuals with varying levels of experience to fill this role. Salary will be commensurate with job-related skills, experience, and other relevant factors. The base salary range for the primary location of this role is between $160,000 and $190,000 plus stock options and benefits.
