Job description

SENIOR ENGINEER

Poway, California | Full-Time | $100,000–$130,000

Who We Are Looking For:

Radeus Labs is looking for a curious, hands-on Senior Engineer who understands how software and hardware work together and enjoys taking a problem from concept to a working system.

Your background may be in hardware, software, SATCOM, computing, embedded systems, or a combination of these areas. What matters most is your ability to work at the system level and understand how components come together. We are looking for someone with software-on-hardware experience who enjoys troubleshooting, integration, and solving problems without an obvious answer. The right person:

• Asks questions and digs into the why, not just the symptom.
• Takes ownership rather than waiting for someone else to solve the next piece.
• Enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and improving real systems.
• Can move between engineering, production, testing, and customer conversations.
• Challenges existing processes and looks for better solutions.
• Follows problems through to resolution and takes accountability for the outcome.

What You’ll Do

Own complex engineering projects from requirements and concept through design, integration, testing, troubleshooting, and customer delivery.

• Translate customer needs and technical requirements into practical solutions.
• Design and integrate systems involving hardware, software, computing, communications, and/or SATCOM
• Troubleshoot complex hardware, software, and system-level problems and identify root causes.
• Build, integrate, test, and improve prototypes and production systems.
• Work with engineering, production, quality, and program teams to bring designs to life.
• Work directly with customers to understand requirements and resolve technical issues.
• Lead or contribute to design reviews, integration, verification, and validation.
• Develop technical documentation, including requirements, specifications, test plans, and reports.
• Identify opportunities to improve designs, processes, quality, reliability, and efficiency.
• Balance technical requirements, schedule, cost, manufacturability, and customer expectations.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to other engineers.
• Support products after delivery and see technical issues through resolution.

What You Bring

• Required
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or related technical field—or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of relevant engineering experience taking designs or systems from concept through implementation.
• Strong experience with system integration, testing, troubleshooting, and root‑cause analysis
• Experience working across engineering disciplines and with cross‑functional teams.
• Strong analytical, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Comfortable working hands‑on with systems, equipment, prototypes and test environments.

Experience that will set you apart

• SAT
• Ruggedized/high-performance computing
• Hardware/software integration
• Embedded systems
• System architecture
• Electronic/computing troubleshooting
• Test equipment and verification
• Aerospace / defense
• Government customers
• Concept‑to‑production experience

U.S. Citizenship is required due to government customer requirements and potential clearance requirements.
