Job description

We are looking for a versatile Wireless Software Engineer with 2–5 years of experience to join our communication engineering team. This role is perfect for someone who thrives at the intersection of low-level kernel development and high-level real-time streaming. You will be responsible for building and optimizing the software stack that powers our next-generation wireless and video communication platforms.

Key Responsibilities

Kernel & Driver Development: Design, implement, and maintain Linux kernel modules and device drivers, specifically focusing on network interfaces and wireless chipsets.

Wireless Optimization: Tune 802.11/Wi-Fi stacks and Bluetooth protocols to ensure low-latency, high-reliability data transmission in challenging environments.

Media Pipeline Engineering: Develop and optimize video transcoding pipelines (using FFmpeg, GStreamer, or hardware-accelerated codecs) to support ultra-low latency streaming.

Real-Time Communication: Implement and scale WebRTC-based solutions, handling everything from signaling to NAT traversal (STUN/TURN) and jitter buffer management.

Network Programming: Write high-performance C/C++ code for networking protocols (TCP/UDP, RTP/RTCP) and optimize the Linux network stack for maximum throughput.

Technical Requirements

Experience: 2–5 years of professional software development experience.

Systems Programming: Expert-level proficiency in C/C++/python and a deep understanding of Linux OS internals .

Linux Kernel: Proven experience with kernel-space development, memory management, and debugging (KDB/KGDB, JTAG).

Networking: Strong grasp of L2–L4 networking layers. Experience with Socket programming and network namespaces.

Multimedia: Hands‑on experience with video compression standards ( H.264, H.265, AV1, VP9 ) and transcoding frameworks.

WebRTC: Deep understanding of the WebRTC stack, including SDP negotiation, ICE, and secure media transport (SRTP).

Wireless: Familiarity with wireless protocol standards and driver frameworks (mac80211, cfg80211).

Bonus Points

Contributions to the Linux Kernel or open-source multimedia projects.

Experience with ARM architecture and embedded hardware platforms (NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi, etc.).

Knowledge of 5G/LTE modem integration.

Experience with DPDK or eBPF for high-speed packet processing.
