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 (, 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.
  • 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
