Requirements

  • A Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
  • Five to eight years across system test, system integration, field test and evaluation, or hands-on technical roles on complex electromechanical and radio frequency systems.
  • Hands-on experience in at least two of hardware/software integration testing, radio frequency/wireless validation, environmental/reliability testing, test automation, electrical system testing, radar testing, electro-optical/infrared or camera testing, and acoustic sensing.
  • Ability to debug across hardware, electrical, radio frequency, network, and software components.
  • Some experience in software or automation.
  • Ability to own field operations and translate raw test data into actionable stakeholder decisions.
  • Must be a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident (Green Card holder).

  • Partner with Dedrone teams during design reviews to incorporate testability early.
  • Help shape the System Test and Evaluation discipline across Dedrone.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with counter-uncrewed aircraft systems, electronic warfare/signals intelligence, radio frequency, cameras, radar, or other mission-critical or safety-critical systems.
  • Depth in radio frequency and wireless technologies, including direction finding, spectrum analysis, and protocols used by drones such as sub-GHz proprietary protocols, Wi-Fi, LTE/5G, and Bluetooth, plus jamming/mitigation.
  • Familiarity with uncrewed aerial systems.
  • Experience with automated test frameworks.
  • FAA Part 107 certification.
  • A Master of Science degree in a relevant field.
  • Prior counter-uncrewed aircraft system or counter-drone operational experience in military or government settings.
