Senior RF Engineer

Doodle Labs builds the connectivity backbone of the autonomous systems revolution — resilient wireless mesh networks that let drones, robots, and unmanned platforms operate reliably in the world's most demanding environments. We sit at the intersection of defense, robotics, and next-generation autonomy, powering the machines that are changing how militaries, first responders, and industries operate in the field. Our core purpose is simple: connect anyone and anything, at any time, in any place.

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.

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.
