The intern will work directly with full-time engineers on hardware bring-up, RF front-end validation, power and battery systems, antenna integration, and system-level troubleshooting. Responsibilities include bench testing, field testing support, documentation of electrical designs and test results, and iterative improvements to deployed sensor hardware. The role requires a strong foundation in electrical engineering fundamentals, comfort with lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers, and interest in RF systems, embedded hardware, or applied sensing. This is a hands-on engineering role embedded in active commercial and government deployments, with exposure to real-world constraints around size, power, reliability, and manufacturability. About Guardian RFGuardian RF develops passive RF-based drone detection systems to protect national security, critical infrastructure, and public safety. Our systems provide continuous airspace monitoring, detect compliant and non-compliant drones, and integrate seamlessly with security and law enforcement operations. We work with the U.S. Air Force, state Departments of Transportation, law enforcement agencies, and commercial partners to safeguard sensitive sites ranging from airports to stadiums.
