About Our Client

Our client is transforming airspace safety through advanced drone detection and airspace monitoring
systems. Their mission is to deliver real-time, actionable data that enhances security across airports,
critical infrastructure, and urban environments. Headquartered in Syracuse, NY, they are rapidly scaling
and investing in next-generation RF, radar, and sensor technologies.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Senior RF Engineer to join a cross-disciplinary team designing and testing the RF
systems that power our client’s innovative airspace security solutions. This role is hands-on and highly
collaborative, blending circuit board-level RF design, antenna modeling, and lab-based testing with
opportunities to guide junior engineers and help shape state-of-the-art test facilities.

Key Responsibilities

 RF System Development
 Derive, define, and document RF system and subsystem requirements.
 Architect, design, simulate, and model RF circuit cards, subsystems, and interfaces.
 Perform schematic capture, component selection, BOM management, and integration of
RF structures into PCB-level designs.
 Testing & Validation
 Conduct lab-based RF testing using industry-standard equipment and measurement
methods.
 Support and lead anechoic chamber testing and characterization; contribute to the
development of new in-house test facilities.
 Participate in integration events and cross-functional design reviews.
 Collaboration & Leadership
 Work closely with software, systems, and mechanical engineering teams to balance
design tradeoffs.
 Provide technical mentorship to junior engineers, fostering knowledge-sharing and skill
development.
 Contribute to project planning, execution, and oversight.
What We’re Looking For

Required:

 Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
 5+ years of RF engineering experience (will consider strong candidates with ~3+ years of highly
relevant experience).
 Proficiency with simulation and analysis tools (e.g., Ansys HFSS, Genesys, MATLAB, Python,
or similar EM tools).
 Hands-on experience with lab-based RF testing and measurement equipment.
 Strong communication skills—able to clearly explain complex RF concepts and collaborate
across teams.
 U.S. Citizenship (due to the nature of the technology).
Preferred:
 Experience with antennas, phased arrays, receivers, exciters, and microstrip/embedded RF
structures.
 Familiarity with schematic capture and PCB layout tools (Mentor Graphics, Altium, etc.).
 Experience with anechoic chamber measurements and facility development.

Why Join Our Client

 Be part of a mission-driven team pioneering drone detection and airspace monitoring
technologies.
 Work in a collaborative, cross-disciplinary environment where engineers, scientists, and
innovators push the boundaries together.
 Access to a growing set of in-house test facilities and cutting-edge lab equipment.
 Competitive salary and a comprehensive benefits package including:
 Health, dental, and vision insurance
 Paid parental leave
 Flexible time off policy
 401(k) with employer contributions
 Disability and life insurance
