The Communications Systems & Spectrum Compliance Lead is based in El Segundo, California, and owns the technical performance and regulatory readiness of every data link CHAOS systems depend on — from point-to-point RF dishes, 5G and cellular modems, and Starlink terminals, to fiber network interconnects and MPU5 tactical radios. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable validating a link budget on a bench and researching a foreign ministry's spectrum licensing requirements ahead of a partner-nation demonstration.

Beyond sustaining today's communications architecture, this role continuously evaluates emerging communications technology — new SATCOM constellations, private 5G, mesh and ad hoc networking, software-defined radio — to strengthen the resilience of CHAOS's coherent, distributed sensor and effector networks.

You'll be the single point of accountability ensuring that every communications path — device-to-device, device-to-internet, device-to-cellular/ISP — is technically functional and legally authorized before the team departs for any demonstration or contract delivery, domestically or with a foreign partner.

• Own the technical performance of all communications systems connecting CHAOS-developed devices to each other and to external networks, including point-to-point RF/microwave dishes, 5G and cellular modems, Starlink and other SATCOM terminals, fiber network interconnects, MPU5/tactical radios, and customer mesh networks.

• Design, test, and validate link budgets, network architecture, and failover paths for each deployment configuration.

• Conduct pre-deployment communications validation, confirming every link a system depends on is functional and authorized before the team travels to a site.

• Support and troubleshoot connectivity problems, both in person in the field and remotely in collaboration with the rest of the team, to enable continuous uptime of
