Echodyne is seeking a Senior Electrical Sustaining Engineer, RF to join our Sustaining Engineering team, responsible for ensuring the long-term performance, reliability, and manufacturability of Echodyne’s fielded and in-production radar products. In this role, you will work closely with other sustaining engineers and partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Test, Quality, and Supply Chain to diagnose issues, resolve defects, and implement durable design improvements that protect product integrity across the entire lifecycle.

Echodyne builds the world’s first compact solid-state true beam-steering radars, combining metamaterials with advanced RF, analog/mixed-signal, and digital architectures. Sustaining these complex systems requires deep RF expertise, disciplined engineering rigor, and a strong sense of ownership. This role is central to that mission.

The Senior Electrical Sustaining Engineer, RF serves as a technical authority for RF sustaining efforts across multiple radar product lines. You will own investigations into RF subsystem defects, drive corrective and preventative actions, develop and verify RF design updates, and guide production support activities that maintain product quality and yield.

You will work in a matrixed environment, supporting multiple programs and collaborating with cross-functional teams, while maintaining strong alignment with the Sustaining Engineering organization and its mission to ensure every released design remains robust and supportable throughout its life.

Lead RF root-cause investigations, failure analysis, and corrective/preventative actions for radar product components and subsystems
