RF / Wireless Algorithm Implementation Developer (27618)

This company works at the cutting edge of RF communications hardware, firmware and software design. They are seeking a software engineer with practiced skills working with low level algorithms as may be used for radio communications, DSP, signal modelling and metrics – and who has translated these into optimal and robust production software.

The language of choice is Python and the codebase you are working on is anticipated to run alongside low level hardware. You will take algorithm specifications, models and empirical data and engineer production code. You will develop and maintain an extensive test suite, a library of reference data, and any necessary validation tools.

Your CV will demonstrate:

• A good degree in a relevant technical subject. You may have a Master’s or PhD specialising in wireless comms, RF systems and/or DSP.
• Your prior expertise translating signal processing algorithms into commercial-grade production software with attention to robustness, optimisation and testing.
• Experience working with test hardware or test bench equipment, which may require specific protocols to drive it.

This role is primarily office-based in Cambridge with flexible working. A highly competitive salary is on offer to the right candidate along with benefits including share options, private medical and additional flexible options.

Keywords: wireless, mobile, RF, comms, DSP, algorithms, communications, hardware, mathematical, Python, data-driven, analysis, validation, cellular, WLAN, measurement, characterisation, radio.
