Description
Why LeoLabs? At LeoLabs, we’re building the living map of activity in space. Through our proprietary global radar network and AI-enabled analytics platform, we collect millions of measurements daily on more than 25,000 objects in low Earth orbit (LEO). Our radar-powered intelligence protects billions in assets, monitors adversarial behavior, and ensures safe operations for commercial and government missions. We’re not just building technology, we are redefining global security, safety, and transparency in space. As orbital activity accelerates and threats grow more complex, LeoLabs is a trusted partner for Space Domain Awareness, Space Traffic Management, and Satellite Operations for top-tier space operators and allied defense organizations. If you're looking to work on mission-critical challenges at the forefront of aerospace, national security, and AI, your impact starts here The Opportunity   At LeoLabs, the Hardware Engineering Team designs, builds, manufactures, and deploys advanced radar systems that provide persistent orbital intelligence to customers around the world.  LeoLabs is at the forefront of this technology, a recognized space-domain awareness leader and  seen as  a  disruptor in conventional radar systems.      As a Principal  Radio Systems  Engineer, you will lead the design and architecture of the electronics that power our next-generation radar systems. You will own complex  system -level hardware  designs  across multiple programs, guiding  hardware  designs from concept   through validation, manufacturing, and deployment. This is a hands-on technical leadership role for an experienced engineer who enjoys solving difficult problems, mentoring other engineers,  working in dynamic teams, interfacing with external partners and customers,  and building reliable hardware that performs in demanding environments.   In this role, you will work closely with our partners in supporting end-use customers through regular on-site visits in the Denver,  Co l orado   region. As such,  work would  dictate either living in this region or the ability to frequenty travel to it. Oc cational  travel to our headquarters in Me nlo Park, California   is also expected.      You will work closely with RF, mechanical, embedded software, manufacturing, and  systems engineers to develop  both requirements and  high-performance radar hardware from concept through deployment.    You will be responsible for:   Negotiate with end-use customers and o wn the  RF system  architecture  and specifications   across multiple programs .   Evaluate technical tradeoffs and guide architectural decisions across multiple hardware programs.   Own radar sensor  performance  analysis and subsequent hardware requirements .   Lead the  archetecture  &   development of  novel RF,  mixed-signal, power, control, timing, and high-performance digital  circuitry   Define  system-level,  sub-system  component s, and board-level architectures, working  alongside RF,  EE, ME,  Software  and other systems engineers to arrive at functional designs.    Drive design optimization in  simulations,  and drive hardware development to achieve it in   the laboratory   Conduct technical design reviews and mentor engineers across the  Hardware  Engineering Team   Support manufacturing, field deployments, and root-cause investigations as products transition into production     Qualifications
