About The Position

Silvus Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary of Motorola Solutions, develops MANET and MIMO communications systems for mission-critical use. The Senior RF Design Engineer joins the RF Engineering team and reports to the Director of RF Engineering. The role participates in all stages of designing RF subsystems for Silvus’ StreamCaster MANET product line, helping keep users connected in demanding operational environments. The position is fully onsite, Monday through Friday, at Silvus Technologies’ headquarters in West Los Angeles. Rare local travel may be required, including to Irvine or West Los Angeles locations. Employment is contingent on successfully clearing a background check and drug test, and candidates must be a U.S. Person because of U.S. federal-contract clients. The role is based in an indoor, air-conditioned office and laboratory environment, with occasional exposure to heat, cold, and allergens during field tests or demonstrations. Physical duties include lifting equipment up to 20 pounds, bending and reaching, kneeling or squatting, and walking or moving in laboratory spaces.
