Senior RF Engineer

At Aeon, we develop advanced missile systems, built for ground and air platforms. We take pride in our dynamic team that allows us to iterate, build, and test quickly. If you are looking to solve hard problems with a passionate team in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, Aeon is the place for you.

We are a vertically integrated defense manufacturer developing and producing advanced strike systems and critical subsystems at industrial scale for major defense programs. From its 140,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, Aeon will bring weapon design and production under one roof, including propulsion, fuzing, autonomy, and other critical subsystems. Led by former special operators, senior government officials and experienced aerospace and defense engineers, Aeon is a trusted partner to U.S. government customers and industry. 

We are looking to add a Senior Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer to our team. As an RF Engineer at Aeon, you will work on some of the most technically challenging and impactful parts of our product. You will design, build, and test high-performance active radar systems. Your contributions will directly affect our products, their use case and our customers. You’ll also help shape our technical roadmap for RF products. 

This is a highly collaborative role: you’ll partner closely with other engineering disciplines to ensure what you are building fits the larger system. Whether you’re optimizing our antenna designs, building new transmitter architectures, or solving hard signal processing problems, your work will be key to Aeon’s success. 

This is a full-time, in-person role located in Austin, TX with plans to move to Cedar Park, TX early 2027.
