Your role in the team
- Design and maintain embedded and low-level software for radio systems
- Work directly with our customers’ research and development teams on products, prototypes, and existing platforms
- Define architectures for the interaction of Embedded Linux or RTOS, communication stacks, signal processing, and radio hardware
- Develop Rust components and pragmatically integrate them into C/C++ codebases
- Define FFI interfaces, ownership models, and rules for using unsafe Rust
- Optimize latency, throughput, CPU utilization, memory consumption, and reliability
- Lead design reviews and contribute to automated testing and hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Use AI-powered tools responsibly to explore solution approaches, implement, analyze, troubleshoot, test, and document, while helping shape appropriate quality and security practices.
Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- Strong knowledge of Rust and/or modern C++, with confidence working with existing C/C++ codebases
- Solid understanding of concurrency, memory management, and resource-constrained systems
- Technical ownership and clear communication with our customers’ development teams
- Knowledge of digital signal processing (DSP), FPGA integration, or GNU Radio
- An amateur radio license is a plus. It often demonstrates a genuine interest in radio communications and practical familiarity with the entire radio system—from HF fundamentals and wave propagation to modulation, antennas, and protocols, as well as hands-on radio operation.
Experience
- At least five years of experience in embedded, systems, or real-time development
- Experience with embedded Linux, RTOS, networking, and protocols
- Experience with software-defined radio, radio communication systems, and ideally hardware-related software in the context of radio communications
- Experience with systems for aviation, defense, public safety, or other mission-critical systems
- Experience with real-time Linux, RTOS platforms, or hardware-level interfaces
- Experience with test automation, simulation, or hardware-in-the-loop testing
- Experience in secure software design, the integration of cryptographic methods, or safety- and security-oriented development.
What we offer
- Work on sophisticated aeronautical and tactical radio systems with a direct connection to our customers’ research and development.
- Help shape the pragmatic introduction of Rust into established embedded C/C++ environments.
- Develop solutions at the intersection of software, network engineering, hardware integration, and system verification
- Influence how our development organization grows—including future internal teams and capabilities.
