Electrical Engineer

CX2 is seeking a highly skilled Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and support advanced electronic systems for next-generation drone defense (counter-UAS) solutions.

The role involves working on cutting-edge technologies including RF systems, embedded electronics, sensors, and power systems to detect, track, and neutralize unmanned aerial threats.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and test electronic hardware for drone detection and mitigation systems
• Work on RF systems including signal detection, jamming, and communication modules
• Develop schematics, PCB layouts, and prototypes for embedded systems
• Integrate sensors (radar, EO/IR, acoustic, RF) into defense platforms
• Collaborate with software, firmware, and systems engineers for full system integration
• Conduct testing, validation, and troubleshooting of electrical systems in lab and field environments
• Optimize power distribution and battery systems for portable and fixed defense platforms
• Support EMI/EMC compliance and environmental testing (MIL-STD preferred)
• Analyze system performance and improve reliability and efficiency
• Participate in field deployments and system demonstrations
• Ability to work extended hours and/or some weekends for mission critical deadlines
