We are a fast-growing Physical AI company founded at MIT. We develop and deploy fleets of purpose-built industrial robots, building a future where AI-native robots handle all the repetitive and physically demanding work.

We're looking for a wireless engineer to advance the RF side of that mission: a low-infrastructure, long-range mesh network that keeps autonomous mobile robots connected in some of the harshest RF environments there are - active construction sites and industrial facilities full of steel, concrete, heavy machinery, and constant change. Your effort will directly shape the next generation of our network technology - from link-level behavior and propagation, up through routing, monitoring, and security - and your decisions will directly shape how the fleet scales. https://didge.ai

Responsibilities:

Design, deploy, and optimize long-range sub-GHz mesh networks at industrial facilities and construction sites
Characterize and model RF propagation and coverage in cluttered, dynamic environments with mobile nodes
Conduct wireless site surveys; define antenna placement and link budgets; guide deployment engineers and technicians
Analyze link- and MAC-level behavior to troubleshoot and resolve field issues with minimal customer impact
Evaluate radio platforms, spectrum options, and mesh routing approaches as the fleet grows
Advance our network monitoring, remote administration, and network security capabilities
Document designs, experiments, and test results

Qualifications:

Bachelor's + 3 years of industry experience, or Master's + 2 years, in EE/CE or a related field
Strong grounding in RF fundamentals and wireless communications - propagation, modulation, link budgets, PHY/MAC behavior
Hands-on experience installing, configuring, and maintaining wireless networks in the real world
Experience conducting wireless site surveys and turning them into working deployments
Comfortable working low in the stack and diagnosing problems from spectrum to packets
Strong analytical skills; able to work independently and with a small team
Willingness to travel occasionally for site surveys, deployments, and troubleshootings

Preferred but not required:

Experience with sub-GHz or other long-range wireless protocols
Comfort with Linux, scripting, or C/C++ for test automation and tooling
Familiarity with network security monitoring
Wireless networking certifications

We are a fast-paced, highly technical organization. Teams are small and agile, autonomy is expected, and every engineer sees their work go from idea to deployed, high-value product. The wireless layer is early enough that you won't be maintaining someone else's decisions - you'll be making them.

We'll be excited to learn more about you and welcome you to the Team!
