Radar Reinvented. Echodyne offers the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radar for a wide range of industries and applications. Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM). Echodyne is seeking a Senior RF Engineer to join our fast-growing team. This is an exempt role.
Responsibilities:
•
Echodyne is seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer in RF to join our Engineering team, responsible for ensuring the long-term performance, reliability, and manufacturability of Echodyne’s fielded and in-production radar products. In this role, you will work closely with other engineers and partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Test, Quality, and Supply Chain to diagnose issues, resolve defects, and implement durable design improvements that protect product integrity across the entire lifecycle.
•
Echodyne builds the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radars, combining metamaterials with advanced RF, analog/mixed-signal, and digital architectures. Sustaining these complex systems requires deep RF expertise, disciplined engineering rigor, and a strong sense of ownership. This role is central to that mission.
•
The Senior RF Engineer serves as a technical authority for RF sustaining efforts across multiple radar product lines. You will own investigations into RF subsystem defects, drive corrective and preventative actions, develop and verify RF design updates, and guide production support activities that maintain product quality and yield.
•
Develop, verify, and document RF design updates driven by reliability, yield, or component lifecycle needs
•
Evaluate alternate RF components and support qualification of replacements
•
Lead RF root-cause investigations, failure analysis, and corrective/preventative actions for radar product components and subsystems
•
Perform advanced RF debugging, measurements, and data analysis on radar RF assemblies
•
Analyze production and test data to identify trends, escapes, or performance drifts
•
Support manufacturing teams in improving RF test coverage, debug flows, and yield
•
Collaborate with Systems, DevOps PCB, Firmware, Test, and Quality teams to maintain robust subsystem performance
•
Contribute to ECO packages and sustaining documentation
Requirements:
•
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or related field
•
6 or more years of hands-on RF/microwave hardware experience, including debugging and verification of RF printed circuit assemblies
•
Experience supporting production in a high-mix electronics environment
•
Familiarity with RF simulation workflows (ADS, Microwave Office, HFSS/CST, or equivalents)
•
Experience qualifying component alternates and managing EOL transitions
•
Background sustaining high-reliability commercial or mission-critical RF hardware
•
Experience contributing to ECO packages, test updates, and release documentation
•
Echodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
