Job summary

Echodyne is seeking a Senior Systems Architect to join the Advanced Technology Development team, defining system architectures for rapid radar prototypes and guiding cross-disciplinary technical decisions. You will connect sensing, compute, power, packaging, software, test, and field-demonstration needs into a coherent system approach.

You will collaborate with Product, RF, electrical, software, and manufacturing teams to deliver mission-critical radar solutions, balancing budgets, risks, and

Qualifications

• Experience developing system architectures for complex hardware and software products.
• Experience translating mission needs into system requirements, architectures, interfaces, budgets, and verification.
• Experience planning prototypes, experiments, integration events, and verification activities.
• Ability to communicate complex system decisions clearly to engineering and business stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Develop mission needs, concepts of operation, success criteria, and system objectives for radar prototypes and future Advanced Technology Development efforts
• Translate product goals, use cases, operating environments, research inputs, and business constraints into functional, logical, and physical architectures, requirements, interfaces, and technical budgets
• Lead trade studies across radar performance, RF and digital architecture, compute, calibration, power, thermal, mechanical packaging, software, test, cost, schedule, and manufacturability
• Define prototype experiments, integration plans, and verification evidence needed to retire the highest-impact technical risks before formal product development
• Maintain the technical integrity of architecture baselines, key assumptions, interfaces, margins, decisions, risks, and configuration-sensitive system information
• Collaborate with Product, Research, RF, electrical, FPGA, software, mechanical, PCB, test, manufacturing, suppliers, and key stakeholders to deliver mission-critical solutions
• Turn prototype results into clear architecture decisions, reusable system guidance, and transition packages that product-development teams can execute
