About the role: 

Our radio system connects the end-users with our autonomous systems. As intelligent flying machines gain more independence, the demand for range and for bandwidth are increasing. There is a huge opportunity to innovate and develop within various wireless architectures to bring an incredible, highly-engineered product to market, and to define the next generation of RF frameworks and technologies. Skydio’s highly integrated electromechanical systems provide a rich set of engineering challenges and a huge opportunity to make an impact!

How you’ll make an impact:

  • Collaborate with EE, PD, Antenna teams to help improve system design and robustness
  • Perform circuit level simulations and analysis to understand and debug desense issues and characterize nature of aggressor/victim
  • Work with EE & RF Design  to reduce and mitigate noise sources & assist other engineers in system integration
  • Work with antenna design and test vendors to ensure the quality of the overall system design

What makes you a good fit: 

  • MS in Electrical Engineering or related field 
  • 6+ years of hands-on desense evaluation and testing experience for consumer products, including compliance with wireless specification and standards
  • Willingness to learn and go after the challenge of unfamiliar tasks
  • Knowledgeable in analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit analysis
  • Excellent technical understanding of one or more of the following radio technologies: WiFi, LTE, Bluetooth and GPS
  • Good understanding of physics of radiated noise coupling mechanisms
  • Experience with PCB layout and schematic capture for RF circuits
  • Experience using simulation tools such as HFSS/CST and Keysight ADS
  • Experience with lab equipment such as network analyzers, CMW500, spectrum analyzers, power meters, near field probes, etc.
  • Experience with best design practices for EMI/EMC, ESD and RF signal routing
  • Experience with performing TRP, TIS and Rate Vs Range measurements will be plus
  • Able to disassemble prototype products, make HW modifications to find and eliminate noise contributors
  • Able to work independently in the Lab to simulate and optimize RF circuits
  • Scripting experience to automate test flow is a plus

Compensation Range: The annual base salary range for this position is $170,000 - $258,000*(dependent on final leveling). Compensation will vary based on factors, including skill level, proficiencies, transferable knowledge, and experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
