What You'll Do As a Principal RF Engineer on the Video Products R&D team, you will architect and lead development of diverse wireless connectivity solutions for next generation Body Worn Cameras and other Video products. Whether it be integration of Wi-Fi+BT combo modules or detailed design of cellular chip-down circuitry from PCB to antenna port, your expert knowledge of LTE, 5G, Wifi, Bluetooth and GNSS circuits and systems will be applied to rigorous hands-on design, development, and testing of cutting-edge video products that are critical solutions for Law Enforcement and other customers.
Engage your extensive technical expertise, proficient engineering process know-how, technology passion, and demonstrated "own-it" mindset to realize successful designs that meet the challenging requirements demanded by our customers. Not only will you own complex RF circuit designs, but you will join forces with a global interdisciplinary engineering team and build truly World-Class products. Additionally, as a seasoned RF engineering expert, your robust technical leadership will steer design decisions as well as foster growth and mentorship of junior engineering talent within the teams.
Prepare to exercise your seasoned engineering skillset to learn even more, while helping a passionate team deliver technologies that positively impact Law Enforcement, Public Safety, and their surrounding communities.
