We are seeking a Principal Hardware Systems Architect with deep expertise in Radio Frequency (RF) systems architecture to lead system-level design and technical integration across our mission-critical hardware products. While RF expertise is foundational to this role, we're looking for someone who understands the interdependencies across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and power domains and can make informed architectural decisions without necessarily being a subject matter expert in each discipline.

Joining as a founding leader within the Axon 911 hardware team, you will define and drive the technical standards, architecture, and engineering processes that shape how our mission-critical hardware is designed, validated, and scaled to mass production.

When technical constraints compete, from RF performance and antenna integration to enclosure design, thermal budgets, and power delivery, you will be responsible for understanding the implications, aligning technical stakeholders, and driving clear system-level decisions.

System Architecture & Design

Develop system architecture with consideration for industrial design, electrical design, RF integration, mechanical design, software, and product management.

Build system architectures, block diagrams, and interaction diagrams to guide implementation.

Analyze power, thermal, and computational budget constraints, and develop solutions that balance performance, size, and cost.

Lead concept studies with internal and external development teams and present outcomes and recommendations.

Systems Requirements

Write and vet system requirements with clear, testable design targets for engineering and test teams.

Review and provide input on product requirements for next-generation devices.

Simulate and estimate subsystem capability against requirements.
