Job description

The world still has coverage blind spots. You could help eliminate them at Skylo.

Skylo has pioneered a standards-based approach to satellite connectivity. We connect smartphones and IoT devices directly to satellites. No special hardware, no entirely new networks. Just billions of existing devices, suddenly reachable anywhere on Earth. We're not building toward this future. We're already in it.

Our direct-to-device service is live on millions of activated devices across five continents, covering more than 72 million square kilometres, in partnership with leading satellite operators, mobile network operators, Tier-1 chipset makers, and OEMs worldwide. And we're just getting started.

At the heart of it all is Skylo's commercial NTN vRAN: a 3GPP standards-based, cloud-native platform that seamlessly bridges terrestrial and satellite networks. It's the infrastructure that makes true anywhere, anytime connectivity possible.

When you join Skylo, you'll work at the intersection of three markets reshaping how the world stays connected: mass-market consumer devices, automotive, and industrial IoT. Enabling people outdoors and critical workflows in the world's most remote places.

This is a rare chance to work on technology that matters, at a company that's already proving it works.

This role is located in Bangalore, India where we are onsite 3 days a week in office.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

Skylo is building a developer and device ecosystem that makes NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) connectivity practical to adopt. We are hiring a hands-on Senior IoT Solutions Engineer to drive chipset and module enablement, firmware support, reference designs, and first-run developer journeys into a reliable product capability. You will guide external developers from unboxing to a validated NB-IoT NTN attach and data session without continuous engineering assistance.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Technical Support: Lead application-engineering support for high-priority customers and partners using Skylo SDKs, APIs, sample applications, and device-to-cloud integrations.
• Firmware Debugging: Troubleshoot embedded devices and cellular modules at firmware and hardware boundaries, including RTOS behaviour, AT commands, PLMN selection, registration, attach, and data failures.
• Developer Enablement: Build and maintain high-quality reference implementations, quick-start guides, sample code, and technical integration patterns.
• Workflow Optimization: Architect the self-service OEM and developer trial journey, systematically eliminating friction from documentation and product workflows.
• Ecosystem Collaboration: Partner directly with chipset and module vendors on technical enablement, firmware readiness, certification issues, and reference designs.
• Issue Reproduction: Isolate field failures using traces, device logs, attach data, and lab tooling to advocate for product fixes with Product and Core Engineering teams.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• 5+ years of experience in IoT solutions engineering, embedded systems, field applications engineering, or a highly technical customer-facing engineering role.
• Strong hands-on C/C++ embedded development skills, RTOS experience, module bring-up, and cellular AT-command interfaces.
• Solid cellular IoT knowledge, including network registration, attach sequences, SIM/eSIM profiles, PLMN selection, and packet data.
• Demonstrated ability to build full-stack examples utilizing REST APIs, SDKs, and a major IoT cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Excellent debugging discipline and the communication skills required to collaborate with firmware engineers and vendor product teams.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• NB-IoT NTN, satellite IoT, 3GPP standards, or roaming experience.
• Practical familiarity with Wireshark, signalling analytics, BigQuery, or developer portals.
• A proven track record of creating developer documentation that materially reduces incoming support tickets.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive compensation packages including a stock option based equity programme
• Comprehensive benefits plans
• Monthly allowances for wellness and education reimbursement
• A generous time off policy, holidays, and the opportunity to temporarily work abroad
• Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of developing and running the world's first commercial, live direct-to-device satellite network and service
• Access to a world-class team and talent across tech domains: software, hardware, chipsets, telecom, satellite and network virtualization
• Open, transparent, inclusive culture that blends Silicon Valley, Nordic and South Asia characteristics

EEO STATEMENT

Skylo is an equal-opportunity employer and we celebrate diversity. We do not discriminate on the basis of race

With employees working across three continents, Skylo is proud to be an equal opportunity employer dedicated to building an inclusive and diverse workforce.
