DS creates systems that power the next generation of radio spectrum intelligence. We collect radio data from all over the world, train neural networks to decipher it, and run them on the smallest chips we can. We’re solving a new, technically hard problem where nothing from other fields works out of the box, and along the way, we’ve built our own stack from scratch, including entirely new embedding model architectures, custom GPU kernels, and much more. Joining DS means owning major parts of a fast-growing AI research organization, joining a collaborative, talent-dense team with decades of experience in probabilistic ML, accelerated computing, embedded systems, and signal theory, and growing your career in the areas that interest you. You’ll fit in if you want to come to work for the problem itself and don’t want to choose between technical rigor, business value, and real-world impact. We work with high ownership and trust, and we do it together in the office 5 days/week. Responsible for the design, evaluation, and optimization of RF systems, supporting mission-driven applications in complex electromagnetic environments. Owns RF system design and end-to-end performance, leading RF efforts on cross-functional teams during design, development, test and deployment of DS Systems. This role integrates RF modeling, synthetic and hardware-in-the-loop data generation, hardware validation, and experimental analysis to inform system architecture designs under real-world constraints. Requires a strong foundation in RF systems, electromagnetic wave propagation, and RF communication modulation schemes as well as demonstrated collaboration and communication skills within multidisciplinary teams. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES RF Hardware • Drive technical direction and execution of RF efforts, independently identifying priorities, risks, and trade-offs in ambiguous environments • Own end-to-end RF system performance across prototype platforms—from early concept through testing, validation,
