Wireless Software Engineer
Skydio, San Mateo, California
The role
We’re looking for a Wireless Software Engineer to join our team and help reimagine how WiFi and cellular links can be customized for autonomous drones operating in challenging, interference heavy, long-range environments. You’ll work hands-on with chipsets, dig into low-level firmware, and write software to extend range, boost reliability, and deliver steady, high-quality video streams in places standard WiFi was never meant to go. If you know wireless protocols, and love bending them, this is your chance to redefine what’s possible in autonomous systems.
What you need
- Strong understanding of WLAN and/or cellular protocols, including OFDMA, mesh networking, and scheduled network operations.
- Proficient in firmware development with a solid foundation in wireless communication systems.
- Well-versed in C++, C and Python.
- Strong software engineering skills, including design, implementation, and performance tuning of wireless features.
- Skilled in diagnosing and resolving complex issues spanning multiple layers, including hardware.
