CX2
CX2 is a next-generation defense technology company founded to deliver spectrum dominance for the United States and our allies. CX2’s AI-enabled hardware and software platforms detect, disrupt and defend the electromagnetic spectrum across land, air, sea and space domains.
CX2 is seeking a highly skilled Electronic Warfare Hardware Engineer to join our growing team. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in designing, testing and building Electronic Support (ES), Electronic Attack (EA) and/or Anti-jam features for communications, signal detection, RADAR and associated Electronic Warfare systems.
This role requires an onsite presence in our El Segundo, CA HQ; a remote work environment is not considered for this opportunity.
Key Responsibilities
Design, validate & deliver EW payloads end-to-end: RF front-ends and wideband receivers for Electronic Support Measures/Electronics Intelligence/Communications Intelligence systems
Jamming & Assoc. Techniques: Develop Electronics Attack/Electronic Countermeasures modes (smart jamming, deceptive techniques), frequency agility, notch/adaptive filters, and cognitive EW that learns in-the-loop.
Digital Signal processing: Design characterize and deliver channelizers, wideband detection/classification, LPI/LPD intercept, and MIMO/digital-array algorithms in MATLAB/Python/C and accelerate on FPGA/RFSoC/GPU.
Own requirements, ICDs, and verification from concept through delivery
Stay current: Track and insert advances in MMIC/ RF SoC devices and associated technologies, adaptive beamforming, RF machine learning, and resilient PNT for GPS-denied ops.
Qualifications
BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
Receiver design across analog/RF/mixed-signal domains: mixers, PLLs/LOs, gain/linearity/noise trades; ability to turn simulations into flight-worthy, Tier 1 deliverable hardware.
Channelizers & wideband architectures: filter banks, analog/digital downconversion, sample-rate planning, clocking/synchronization across nodes.
Willingness to support critical test events that occasionally require extended hours/weekends.
ITAR Restrictions To conform to US Government Regulations, applicant must be a U.S. Citizen, National, or U.S. lawful permanent resident (green card holder). Learn more about the ITAR here.
Bonus Points
PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
5 years’ experience with EW subsystems and payloads.
EA/ECM technique design (deception, Digital RF Memory, coherent/non-coherent techniques).
Comms system design (LPI/LPD, Waveform-of-Interest exploitation)
RF machine learning for emitter ID, modulation/classification, anomaly detection, PDW creation
Tools Experience: ADS/AWR/SystemVue, MATLAB/Simulink, Python (NumPy/SciPy), GNU Radio/SDR (USRP/RFSoC), VITA-49; HDL/firmware experience also helpful (Vivado/Quartus/Libero).
Clearance: Active Secret or ability to obtain and maintain; TS/SCI eligibility preferred. ITAR/EAR-controlled work.
Field work: supporting periodic travel for flight tests and customer demonstrations/support
Mindset: Builder-tester who loves first-principles RF, rapid lab iteration, and getting hardware flying fast.
What We Offer
Competitive salary, stock options and benefits, including health, vision and dental.
401K enrollment at 90 days.
Generous PTO most Federal Holidays observed.
Collaborative and inclusive work environment.
Access to the latest tools and technologies.
High levels of responsibility and autonomy.
Professional growth and development opportunities.
Access to the hardest problems in electronic warfare.
$135,000 – $175,000 a year. Exact compensation may vary based on skills and experience.
Equal Opportunity Employer CX2 is committed to equal employment opportunity. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status, or any other protected characteristic under federal, state, or local law, including those with a criminal history, in compliance with the CA Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.
