## Job description

The Company AnySignal is developing the next generation of RF products and services for some of the most demanding space and defense missions. We’re building a flexible, high-performance platform that’s easy to deploy, monitor, and scale — enabling customers to bring advanced radio technologies to life faster than ever before.

## The Role

As a Senior RF Hardware Engineer on the hardware team, you will be responsible for owning the design, manufacture, test, and deployment of highly integrated RF devices used by a surging wave of space customers. You will work with a small team of software, hardware, and FPGA engineers to shepherd the product from initial design to vehicle integration, taking a full-stack approach to building robust space communications systems.

## What You'll Do

- Develop and own RF products across PCB, box, and integration levels
- Own trades and analyses on new designs and question requirements
- Bring up, troubleshoot, and qualify new designs
- Collaborate with Supply Chain and Manufacturing teams to enable large-scale manufacture of products

Required Skills

- 5+ years of robust experience designing circuitry in RF bands across frontend and conversion chains
- End-to-end PCB design experience, including schematic capture, layout, fabrication and assembly
- Experience with electronic design and analysis tools such as Keysight ADS, Ansys HFSS, and Altium Designer
- Excellent understanding of RF metrics such as S-parameters, P1dB, noise figure, channel power, and EVM
- Excellent understanding of RF cascades, link budgets, and noise analysis
- Experience with test instruments (oscilloscopes, power supplies, VNAs, spectrum analyzers)
- Experience with low noise amplifiers, power amplifiers, mixers, ADCs/DACs, phased locked loops, oscillators, and filters

Desired Skills

- Experience building complex PCBs in Altium Designer
- Experience selecting components for radiation-susceptible environments
- Experience working with AD9361, Xilinx RFSoC, and similar digital-analog conversion interfaces
- Solid experience soldering and reworking boards (0402 SMP components, QFN packages)
- Experience performing communications link modeling and solid understanding of DSP fundamentals
- Knowledge of antenna design, simulation, and measurement in near-field/far-field regimes
- Experience working with high-PAPR signals and knowledge of DPD concepts

## Compensation

The estimated base salary range for this role is $170,000-$220,000 per year, plus equity. This range reflects our good-faith estimate for this position at the time of posting. The final base salary offered will depend on a variety of factors, including the candidate's qualifications, relevant experience, skills, and market considerations. In addition to base salary, total compensation includes an equity grant and our full benefits package (Medical, Dental, Vision), HSA's and 401K program.

Export Control Requirements

To comply with U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including ITAR, applicants must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual under 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the necessary authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.

## Equal Opportunity & Accommodations

## About AnySignal

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: AnySignal provides a full-stack, end-to-end radiofrequency (RF) platform that unifies communications, navigation, and sensing for the aerospace and defense sectors.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: El Segundo, California, USA (with additional office in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada)
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: John Malsbury (CEO) and team (specific co-founder names not publicly listed)

## Core Business
- **Primary Industry**: Defense Technology / Aerospace & Defense / RF & Space Infrastructure
- **Target Customers**: U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Space Force, space explorers, allied forces, and mission-critical industrial operators (B2G / B2B)
- **Mission**: To make RF the most reliable and secure layer of space infrastructure by building a single, unified platform for communications, navigation, and sensing — eliminating gaps and failure points where failure is not an option.

## Products & Services
- **AnySignal Platform (Core)**: An end-to-end, software-defined RF platform that delivers RF as a single integrated capability. Combines hardware, digital signal processing (DSP), and network orchestration.
- **AnyLink Network Orchestration**: Unified operations, interoperability, and intelligent scheduling for RF networks.
- **AnyMesh Resilient Network**: Multi-band RF systems fusing advanced processing with space-grade hardware for resilient connectivity.
- **AnyMission Hardware Suite**: A hardware ecosystem designed for space, land, air, and sea domains — includes the **TerraModem**.
- **Autonomous Systems**: Reliable, low-latency RF engineered for autonomous operations across every domain.
- **Electronic Warfare (EW)**: Real-time signal dominance to detect, disrupt, and defeat threats.
- **Communications**: Secure, high-speed comms enabling real-time decision-making and resilient navigation.
- **Radar**: Precision-engineered radar for real-time situational awareness.
- **Threat Mitigation**: Built-in resilience against interference, jamming, and spoofing.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (private company)
- **Total Funding**: **$38.62M** raised across rounds (includes Series A of $24M raised ~1 year ago)
- **Key Investors**: BlueYard Capital, First In, Upfront Ventures, Acequia Capital, Caffeinated Capital, and 6+ other investors.
- **Key Client Win (April 2026)**: Selected by the **U.S. Space Force** to field its Resilient, Agile, and Interference-Defiant Network for secure MILSATCOM and the Space Data Network (SDN) — a major government contract validating the technology [everythingrf.com](https://www.everythingrf.com/news/details/21789-u-s-space-force-selects-anysignal-to-strengthen-milsatcom-resilience-against-electronic-warfare).
- **Growth Signals**: Early-stage company (founded 2022) with significant government traction, 11+ employees on LinkedIn, and 16+ open roles listed as of mid-2026 — indicates scaling phase.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-Stack RF Platform**: Unlike point solutions, AnySignal unifies communications, radar, and electronic warfare on a single, software-defined platform.
- **Autonomous Adaptation**: System senses the environment in real time and autonomously adapts waveforms, power, and routing to defeat jamming and interference.
- **Decentralized Architecture**: Replaces rigid satellite links with self-healing, decentralized networks — a critical need for modern contested environments.
- **Mission-Critical Credibility**: Already trusted by the U.S. Space Force for national security applications, creating a high barrier to entry for competitors.
- **Turn-key Integration**: Designed to integrate across networks, bands, and legacy systems (multi-vendor, multi-domain).

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priority**: Scaling the defense platform for the U.S. Space Force contract and supporting the DoD’s CJADC2 (Combined Joint All-Domain Command and Control) vision and the Golden Dome initiative.
- **Direction**: Moving from system development/validation to full deployment of resilient MILSATCOM networks. Actively hiring across engineering, hardware, software, and business development to support this growth.
- **Product Expansion**: Continued investment in autonomous adaptation, electronic warfare, and multi-domain hardware (space, air, land, sea).

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: "Built for the People Who Build the Future" — the company emphasizes ownership and mission-driven work. Employees are described as "stakeholders" in the company's success.

  - 401K & FSA Account
  - **Ownership Stake** in the company (equity for employees)
- **Engineering Culture**: Opportunity to work on cutting-edge RF, DSP, FPGA, and autonomous systems for national security. Roles include: Lead FPGA Engineer, Lead DSP Engineer, RF & DSP Engineer, Software Engineer (Python), Embedded Controls Engineer, EMC Engineer, Ground Software Engineer, and more.
- **Team Size**: ~11 employees currently, rapidly scaling — early-stage environment with high impact per person.
