What You’ll Be Working On: As an SDR Engineer, you’ll help design, build, and optimize advanced software-defined radio systems for real-world deployment in some of the most physically and technically demanding environments. Your work will directly support the development of breakthrough products leveraging proprietary technologies that surpass current limitations of conventional wireless platforms (Wi-Fi, acoustics, optics, RF). From embedded software to RF signal processing and test systems, you’ll operate across the full SDR stack; customizing commercial platforms or designing new ones from the ground up. What You Bring: •Layer 1/2 wireless systems experience

with strong understanding of digital communications and protocol stack behavior. •Deep knowledge of 3GPP standards (4G/5G NR)

and how they apply to SDR and embedded system implementations. • Demonstrated experience in

designing and shipping embedded systems , particularly for RF-intensive products. • Familiarity with

HF/VHF/UHF frequencies , antennas, and RF front-end components. • Solid understanding of

cybersecurity considerations

for embedded systems used in high-assurance or critical environments. • Experience debugging and maintaining complex signal processing chains across both hardware and software layers. • US Citizenship

is required. Bonus Points For: • Experience with

PDR/CDR processes

and structured systems engineering practices. • Familiarity with SDR frameworks like GNU Radio, UHD, or similar. Why This Role? You’ll join a tight-knit, multidisciplinary engineering team at a pivotal moment. The company is building the foundation of next-generation wireless infrastructure, and your voice will influence the direction and culture from day one.
