Responsibilities

We are developing the next generation of mission-critical communications systems to builds mission-critical devices used by public-safety professionals worldwide.

, you will be a technical leader driving architecture and implementation of wireless protocol stacks, transport abstraction layers, and real-time communication systems across our devices.

You will operate at the intersection of RF, embedded systems, and cloud-connected software.

You will be tasked with solving the toughest wireless problems our products face: translating research into resilient, high-performance PHY/MAC systems; architecting firmware and toolchains that meet extreme latency, power, and reliability targets; and defining the wireless roadmap that balances innovation, manufacturability, and real-world performance.

You will shape how our devices connect and perform at scale — from lab prototypes to deployed fleets — and your work will be judged by field performance under real conditions, not just simulations.

This mission-critical wireless systems require both RF understanding and deep systems software expertise.
