Full Description

Solutions Engineer Remote (U.S. Only) | Must Be U.S. Citizen | ~10% Travel About Doodle Labs Doodle Labs builds advanced wireless networking systems that enable the next generation of autonomous robots and defense systems to operate reliably in the real world. Our radios power drones delivering medical supplies in contested airspace, unmanned ground vehicles assisting soldiers in the field, and industrial robots that make work safer and more efficient. Recognized by Fast Company as one of the Most Innovative Companies, we are growing quickly and scaling deployments with leading robotics companies, defense program offices, and breakthrough autonomy labs. Joining Doodle Labs means joining a team building the communication backbone for the autonomous world. About the Role As a Solutions Engineer, you’ll be the technical teammate helping customers deploy unmanned systems that actually work in the field—not just in a lab. You’ll partner directly with robotics engineers, autonomy leads, and government program teams to ensure Doodle Labs radios integrate seamlessly into drones, UGVs, and robotic platforms. You’ll help customers meet their technical evaluation criteria, tune radio performance for their mission environment, and turn complex wireless challenges into straightforward, repeatable solutions. This is a hands-on engineering role with clear mission impact: you will help enable the robots that keep soldiers safer, expand human capability, and change how work gets done in the world. What You’ll Do (Performance Outcomes) 1. Become a Go-To Technical Expert in Doodle Labs Radio Systems (Months 1–3) • Build mastery of Doodle Labs radios, firmware, configuration tools, and typical deployment architectures. • Learn how different robotics platforms (UAS, UGV, USV) integrate communications and autonomy workflows. • Demonstrate the ability to analyze and tune wireless link performance based on mission and terrain constraints. 2. Ensure Customer Technical Evaluation Success (Ongoing) • Support customers during platform integration, testing, flight trials, and field evaluations. • Recreate customer test conditions in your own lab environment to validate configurations and replicate issues. • Maintain a ≥90% success rate moving evaluations toward design-in and procurement milestones. 3. Build Test Frameworks That Improve Product Reliability (Months 3–6) • Develop repeatable validation workflows for firmware updates, new features, and optimization scenarios. • Measure performance under real-world variables: range, throughput, interference, mobility, multi-hop routing. • Deliver weekly reports summarizing findings, recommendations, and risk points. 4. Translate Real-World Field Insight Into Product Improvement (Ongoing) • Provide structured feedback to engineering and firmware teams based on field conditions and user workflows. • Influence product roadmap priorities around usability, configurability, performance tuning, and deployment tools. • Become the voice of the customer inside the company—backed by data, testing, and first-hand field experience. Who You Are • Excited by autonomy, robotics, and defense missions that matter. • Skilled at diagnosing complex system interactions across RF, networking, compute, and control systems. • Comfortable working directly with customers—collaborative, supportive, patient, and steady under pressure. • Curious and self-driven; you like figuring out “why the link behaved that way” and proving it with data. • Clear communicator who can translate technical nuance into actionable guidance. Required Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field; or equivalent practical experience. • 3+ years working with wireless communications, RF networking, embedded systems, or robotic platform integration. • Familiarity with PHY/MAC tuning, link budget reasoning, modulation and coding tradeoffs, interference behavior, and throughput optimization. • Experience supporting customers, integrators, or field test teams during deployment. • Must be a U.S. Citizen (due to export control and defense program requirements). • Ability to travel ~10% for field testing, customer support, or team collaboration. Why This Role Matters This is a chance to: • Work directly with teams building the future of autonomous systems. • Ensure soldiers and operators have safer, more reliable robotics capabilities. • Influence the design and performance of radio systems used in mission-critical environments. • Join a high-ownership, high-trust engineering culture where your work is visible and meaningful. Your work will directly enable real-world autonomy—not just demos.
