Own end-to-end system integration for fielded mission solutions combining UAS, sensors (including RF-enabled systems where applicable), edge compute, mobile devices, and network transport.
Design, configure, and troubleshoot field networking for distributed environments: IP planning; bridging vs. routing; VLANs; NAT; DHCP/DNS; multicast/unicast considerations; and performance constraints over low-bandwidth or high-latency links.
Diagnose and resolve system issues across link, network, and application layers using structured troubleshooting, logs, and packet capture tools (e.g., tcpdump/Wireshark), and implement durable fixes through configuration, automation, documentation, or engineering escalation with clear repro steps.
Serve as a technical liaison between Mission Solutions, Engineering, Product, Operations, and external partners—translating field requirements into actionable technical work and driving resolution to completion.
Prepare, configure, test, and deploy mission hardware kits and supporting equipment; validate readiness and ensure repeatability through checklists and "golden configuration" baselines.
Provide field support for customer operations, evaluations, and demonstrations, including setup/teardown and on-site troubleshooting as needed.
Develop and maintain SOPs, runbooks, reference architectures, and network/wiring diagrams to standardize deployments and reduce friction for field teams.
Assist with forecasting, procurement inputs (BOMs/buy lists), and operational planning to support mission schedules and partner needs.
Help establish and run recurring internal coordination rhythms (readiness reviews, integration syncs, after-action feedback loops) to improve execution velocity and quality.
Requirements
Demonstrated ability to independently integrate and troubleshoot complex RF + hardware/software systems in real-world environments.
Strong practical understanding of RF fundamentals and system-level considerations (e.g., frequency planning, bandwidth, dynamic range, interference considerations, antenna integration, time/frequency reference concepts)
Hands-on experience with RF test and measurement and field bring-up workflows (e.g., spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power measurement, basic cable/connector/antenna best practices).
Hands-on experience with at least two of the following domains: SDR-based systems and/or RF front-end integration RF sensing systems (monitoring, classification support, direction/position-related outputs), Controlled signal generation and test methodologies, Embedded/edge compute (Linux-based systems; embedded/rugged compute a plus) Field networking (bridges, routers, managed switches, Wi-Fi links, constrained networks), Tactical communications-adjacent systems and field integration practices
Ability to collaborate effectively with engineers and technical stakeholders, providing clear documentation, logs, and reproducible problem statements when escalation is required.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; ability to produce clear technical documentation that others can execute.
Highly organized and detail-oriented, especially in equipment readiness, configuration management, and field logistics.
Willingness and ability to travel up to 40% and support operations in field environments.
Ability to lift and move typical field equipment cases and supporting hardware.
