For over 25 years, our team has been at the forefront of mesh networking, partnering with leading defense programs, robotics manufacturers, and system integrators worldwide. The work here doesn't sit in a slide deck — it ends up in the field, in the hands of people for whom failure isn't an option.
About the Role
The Senior RF Engineer will play a critical hands-on role in designing, validating, and transferring high-performance radio modules from concept through production.
In this role, you will work closely with PCB, mechanical, and product engineering teams to develop advanced wireless systems used in demanding real-world environments. You will lead RF design execution from initial architecture through prototype validation and manufacturing transfer, ensuring designs meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.
This is a deeply technical role offering end-to-end ownership and direct impact on the performance and capabilities of Doodle Labs’ wireless products.
What You’ll Do
- Design and develop production-ready RF radio modules from concept through validation and manufacturing transfer
- Translate product requirements into RF architectures including schematic design, RF front-end development, and PCB implementation
- Lead end-to-end RF design execution including RF circuitry, analog components, power supplies, and system interfaces
- Develop compact and scalable radio module designs that support multiple frequency bands and product configurations
- Perform RF simulations and front-end analysis to validate design decisions prior to hardware fabrication
- Plan and execute RF and system-level validation testing to ensure performance meets product specifications
- Prepare technical documentation including schematics, design rationale, and test results to support product lifecycle management
- Coordinate design reviews with RF, PCB, mechanical, and product engineering teams
- Identify technical risks and develop solutions balancing performance, cost, manufacturability, and schedule
- Support development of next-generation wireless technologies including advanced Wi-Fi, BLE, GPS, and high-power RF amplification systems
