[Remote] Lead Systems Engineer – System Design, EW & SIGINT (Remote)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. XONE Technology, Inc develops advanced RF geolocation and sensing systems for defense and intelligence missions. They are seeking a senior-level Systems Engineer to lead the definition and technical execution of RF sensing and communications systems, focusing on system-level design and cross-disciplinary leadership.
Responsibilities
• Lead system-level design activities including concept development, CONOPS analysis, requirements definition, and architecture trade studies
• Establish and maintain technical baselines, including system architectures, interface definitions, requirements allocations, and design documentation
• Decompose system architectures into clear, actionable work packages for software, FPGA, RF, and hardware engineering teams
• Design and prototype hardware-centric systems, working closely with engineering teams and external vendors on component selection, part surveys, and trade studies
• Perform RF and system analyses such as link budgets, noise and interference analysis, and performance modeling to inform design decisions
• Define DSP and signal processing approaches for SIGINT and electronic warfare capabilities at the system level and guide their implementation and mapping to hardware and software resources
• Analyze integration and test results, correlate performance across subsystems, and drive root-cause analysis of system-level issues
• Prepare and deliver technical briefings, design reviews, and performance assessments for internal leadership, customers, and partners
• Interface directly with customers and prime contractors on system capabilities, requirements, schedules, and technical risks
• Collaborate with the Chief Engineer on product roadmaps, R&D initiatives, and longer-term technology investments
• Support all phases of the product lifecycle including R&D, prototyping, integration and test, system delivery, and sustainment
Skills
• 8+ years of experience in systems engineering, RF systems, embedded systems, or a closely related technical field
• Strong system-level background with experience defining architectures, requirements, and interfaces for complex, multi-disciplinary systems
• Broad technical understanding across RF, digital signal processing, embedded software, FPGA-based processing, and hardware platforms
• Practical experience performing RF and system analysis (e.g., link budgets, performance modeling, trade studies)
• Experience translating high-level operational needs into implementable technical designs and requirements
• Proven ability to lead technical efforts across multiple engineering disciplines without direct line authority
• Experience analyzing test and integration data and communicating results clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including customer-facing technical presentations
• Ability to operate independently, manage priorities, and drive complex technical efforts to closure
• U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
• Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• Hands-on experience with software defined radio platforms and RF sensing systems
• Familiarity with DSP algorithm development and real-time implementation considerations
• Experience working with external vendors, suppliers, and manufacturing partners
• Prior experience interfacing with government customers or prime contractors
• Active U.S. security clearance
Company Overview
• XONE develops advanced RF geolocation and sensing systems to support critical defense and intelligence missions, including signal reconnaissance, surveillance, threat detection, and force protection. It was founded in undefined, and is headquartered in , with a workforce of 11-50 employees. Its website is https://www.xonetechnology.com/.
