SkySafe (https://skysafe.io) | Wireless Engineer (SDR) | San Diego, CA | REMOTE or HYBRID At SkySafe we build drone detection and tracking at scale. I am looking for a Wireless Communications Engineer with SDR expertise to join my team; I'm the hiring manager. What I'm looking for: * Background in wireless communications / signal processing theory and math. * Experience building software-based wireless modems. * Experience writing and optimizing software-defined radio code in C++ directly. What you'd do: * Implement all components of software defined modem systems from specifications and alongside our reverse engineering team (no RE experience necessary!) * Optimize existing software defined modem systems from both a theory and practice perspective - that is, make both conceptual improvements to algorithmic approaches as well as practical improvements to implemented code. * Architect and implement high-level improvements to SDR systems (scheduling, compute offload, etc.). We have a strong system in place for remote SDR work and are open to remote candidates for this role. If you're in San Diego and want access to an office with nice equipment, that's even better. This position requires access to technology which is controlled by US Export laws, so you also need to be an eligible US Person. What we have to offer: $145-200k. Fun, small team dynamic. Work with experts in adjacent fields. Startup environment with good work-life balance and limited red tape. Rapid iteration and feedback in the wild - make a change, deploy it, and see telemetry come back in the same day. Good equipment at the office. Apply: brian@ for a direct line, https://jobs.lever.co/skysafe for the formal route (we have some other roles I'm not the HM for listed there, too, if you're interested in the company!)
