Job description

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

About Axon 911

Axon 911 brings together Prepared and Carbyne under Axon. Together, we are creating the only platform that combines modern 911 infrastructure with an AI intelligence layer—helping public safety agencies move faster, make better decisions, and deliver better outcomes in the moments that matter most.

911 is the backbone of public safety, yet the professionals behind it have long been held back by outdated technology. Axon 911 is here to change that. Joining this team means more than taking a job—it means helping shape the future of emergency response and building a safer, more connected world.

Your Impact

We are seeking a Senior Electrical Engineer specializing in RF hardware and chip-down design to own the architecture, integration, development, and validation of sophisticated multi-transceiver systems for mission-critical connected hardware. Your work will power the mission-critical connectivity that enables our devices, such as body-worn cameras, to communicate reliably from the field in all conditions.

As a founding member of our hardware team, you will help define how multiple wireless technologies coexist within highly integrated, battery-powered devices. You will own critical RF hardware decisions from chipset and component selection through schematic design, PCB implementation, bring-up, RF validation, certification, and mass production.

You will solve complex challenges across mission-critical wireless communications, LTE/cellular, broadband wireless, RF coexistence, interference, isolation, EMI/EMC, power, and antenna integration, working closely with RF, Systems, Mechanical, Firmware, and Manufacturing teams.

What You’ll Do

• RF & Chip-Down Design: Own board-level implementation and integration of RF chipsets and associated circuitry across LMR, LTE/cellular, and broadband wireless technologies.

• RF Architecture: Translate system and product requirements into wireless hardware architectures, evaluating chipsets, transceivers, front-end components, interfaces, power requirements, and system-level tradeoffs.

• Schematic & PCB Implementation: Develop and review schematics and PCB implementations for RF transceivers, modems, front-end components, power circuitry, control interfaces, and supporting digital electronics.

• RF Integration & Coexistence: Design and validate multi-transceiver systems, addressing coexistence, desense, interference, isolation, harmonics, spurious emissions, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC.

• LMR & Cellular Integration: Solve hardware challenges associated with integrating regulated LMR frequencies alongside cellular and other wireless technologies within compact devices.

• Antenna & Mechanical Integration: Partner with RF, Antenna, Mechanical, and Industrial Design teams on antenna placement, RF routing, shielding, grounding, board layout, and enclosure-related RF performance.

• Bring-Up & Debugging: Lead wireless hardware bring-up, characterization, and root-cause analysis using spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, signal generators, power meters, and related RF test equipment.

• Certification & Production: Drive wireless hardware through verification, regulatory and carrier certification, SP/EVT/DVT/PVT, manufacturing ramp, and mass production.

• Technical Leadership: Provide technical direction on wireless hardware architecture and design while working with chipset vendors, external design partners, ODMs/JDMs, and internal engineering teams.

What You Bring

• 7+ years of wireless hardware and/or RF electronics design experience and a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.

• Demonstrated experience with chip-down RF design or board-level integration of wireless transceivers/modems, rather than solely integrating pre-certified modules.

• Strong experience with one or more relevant wireless communications technologies, including LMR, LTE/cellular, broadband wireless, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GNSS, or similar wireless systems.

• Experience designing and debugging RF-related circuitry, including transceivers, RF front ends, filtering, matching, switching, amplification, clocks, power delivery, and digital control interfaces.

• Strong understanding of RF coexistence, interference, desense, isolation, harmonics, spurious emissions, grounding, shielding, and EMI/EMC in compact multi-transciever products.

• Experience integrating multiple transceive
