Job description

Skydio is the leading US drone company and the world leader in autonomous flight, the key technology for the future of drones and aerial mobility. The Skydio team combines deep expertise in artificial intelligence, best-in-class hardware and software product development, operational excellence, and customer obsession to empower a broader, more diverse audience of drone users, from utility inspectors to first responders, soldiers in battlefield scenarios, and beyond.
About the Role:
Skydio's RF systems connect users to our autonomous ecosystem and are foundation to the performance, reliability, and scalability of our products. As intelligent flying machines become increasingly autonomous, the demands on wireless connectivity, range, bandwidth, coexistence, and robustness continue to grow. This role offers a unique opportunity to drive innovation across existing and next-generation RF architectures while delivering highly engineered products at scale.
We are looking for a highly experienced Wireless Systems Engineer with deep expertise in cellular hardware development and RF system integration. The ideal candidate has hands-on experience bringing complex wireless products from architecture through production, including extensive experience with LTE/cellular integration, carrier certification, and PTCRB certification validation.
Skydio's highly integrated electromechanical systems present rich cross-functional engineering challenges and provide an exceptional opportunity to make a significant impact on the future of autonomous systems.
How You'll Make an Impact:
  • Collaborate closely with EE, RF, antenna, mechanical, ID, and systems teams to optimize end-to-end wireless system performance
  • Define system-level wireless architecture, requirements, specifications, and performance targets
  • Design, integrate, and validate wireless solutions across multiple radio technologies and frequency bands, including LTE/5G cellular systems
  • Lead cellular hardware integration efforts from early architecture through bring-up, debugging, optimization, certification, and production ramp
  • Drive RF coexistence and desense analysis across tightly integrated wireless subsystems
  • Perform detailed circuit-level analysis to debug RF performance, interference, and desense issues, and characterize aggressor/victim relationships
  • Identify and mitigate noise sources impacting wireless performance at both board and system levels
  • Support end-to-end product development from concept, prototyping, and validation through qualification, carrier certification, PTCRB, regulatory approval, and manufacturing test
  • Develop and execute wireless performance characterization plans, including TRP/TIS, OTA, throughput, range, and coexistence testing
  • Partner with external module vendors, certification labs, and carriers to ensure successful cellular integration and compliance

What Makes You a Good Fit:
  • MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 7+ years of hands-on experience developing wireless consumer or embedded products with complex RF systems
  • Strong cellular hardware development experience is required, including LTE modem integration, RF front-end architecture, carrier requirements, and system bring-up/debug
  • Extensive experience supporting products through PTCRB and carrier certification processes is strongly preferred
  • Deep technical understanding of one or more wireless technologies including LTE/cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, and related coexistence challenges
  • Strong understanding of RF desense mechanisms, EMI/EMC mitigation, radiated/conducted coupling, and system-level integration challenges
  • Experience with analog, digital, and mixed-signal circuit design and analysis
  • Experience with PCB schematic review, layout guidance, RF routing, grounding, shielding, and power integrity best practices
  • Proven experience debugging and optimizing wireless system performance in highly integrated products
  • Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, CMW500, signal generators, power meters, near-field probes, and OTA test systems
  • Experience using RF simulation and modeling tools such as Ansys HFSS and Keysight ADS
  • Experience performing and analyzing TRP, TIS, OTA, throughput, and Rate vs. Range measurements
  • Strong understanding of manufacturing test, production calibration, and wireless validation workflows
  • Ability to independently drive complex technical problems across cross-functional teams in a fast-paced development environment
  • Obtaining FAA Part 107 certification within the first 60 days of employment is strongly encouraged for all Skydio employees and required for certain positions.
