Job summary

Tarana Wireless Inc in Milpitas, California, is seeking a Principal Wireless Algorithms Engineer (MAC Layer Scheduling) to design and implement advanced MAC scheduling algorithms for ngFWA. You will own the scheduler, translate performance issues into concrete problems, and ship production C++ on Linux in a large deployed network.

The ideal candidate has 12+ years of experience in wireless algorithm design, MS or PhD, deep knowledge of OFDM/MIMO, and hands-on expertise with AI-assisted

Qualifications

• 12+ years of experience designing algorithms for wireless systems.
• Master of Science (MS) or doctoral degree (PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field or equivalent work experience.
• Strong production-level C++ experience on Linux with the ability to independently implement complex designs.

Responsibilities

• Invent. Solve challenging problems in scheduling, resource allocation, link adaptation, interference management, spectrum coordination, latency, and fairness.
• Define the problem. Turn ambiguous performance issues into clear, tractable problems, and use sound judgement to determine which ones are worth solving.
• Validate before building. Use simulations, offline analysis, and real field data to evaluate ideas before committing to implementation.
• Design for robustness. Think beyond standard test cases and ensure algorithms behave reliably across a wide range of operating conditions.
• Ship your work. Write production C++ for the systems you design and stay involved through integration, field validation, and real-world deployment.
• Raise the bar. Review designs and code rigorously, asking hard questions about edge cases, tradeoffs, and failure modes.
• Close the loop. Work closely with systems engineering, DSP, and field teams to understand how algorithms perform in real-world networks at scale.
• Explore new approaches. Evaluate where machine learning can outperform traditional algorithms and understand the practical cost of running models within embedded, real-time constraints.
• Mentor and lead. Help other engineers build strong technical judgment—not just implementation skills.
