SkySafe (https://skysafe.io) | Wireless Engineer (SDR) | San Diego, CA | ONSITE (Hybrid)

At SkySafe we build drone detection and tracking at scale.

I am looking for a Wireless Communications Engineer with SDR expertise to join my team - I'm the hiring manager.

I need someone with a very strong background in signal theory and experience building software wireless modems. You will spend time learning about new systems from our reverse engineers (no RE experience required!), implementing both open and recovered specifications, and refactoring existing modems code to improve it in both theory (ie - what is the algorithmic state of the art for demodulating xyz thing) and practice (ie - how much memory bandwidth and CPU are you using where). As such, I'm looking for someone with true software modem experience; while DSP, FPGA, and generated code experience are useful and relevant, you'll need to be able to read and write C++ directly.

I need someone who can come into the office in San Diego as needed to work with hardware, so this is a hybrid on-site role. This position requires access to technology which is controlled by US Export laws, so you also need to be an eligible US Person.

What we have to offer: $145-200k. Fun, small team dynamic. Work with experts in adjacent fields. Startup environment with good work-life balance and limited red tape. Rapid iteration and feedback in the wild. Good equipment at the office.
