RF Engineer IV/V/VI

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.

We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.

The RF Engineer leads the design, analysis, and integration of RF and antenna systems across Zone 5 products. This role is responsible for developing high-performance communication and RF architectures that operate reliably in complex electromagnetic environments.

You will work across the full lifecycle—from concept and trade studies through integration, test, and production—partnering closely with Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Software, Integration, and Test to deliver robust, scalable RF solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, model, simulate, and integrate RF and antenna systems across multiple frequency bands and technologies.

• Define RF system requirements and drive architecture decisions through analysis, trade studies, and feasibility assessments.

• Perform RF analysis including link budgets, antenna patterns, RF chain performance, interference/desense, and installed system effects.

• Develop and validate RF/data link models and communication performance simulations.

• Conduct hardware and software trade studies to optimize RF system performance, robustness, and scalability.

• Support design, prototyping, integration, and qualification of wireless communication systems.
