Key job responsibilities

You’ll support the embedded phased array development and MAC functionality required to test a phased array and deploy advanced algorithms for tracking, control, steering, and testing.

• Own unique embedded software functions through design, implementation (in C, C++, Python or other), test, and integration in an embedded Linux or real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.

• Write software to interact with devices/electronics using I2C, I3C, SPI, SERDES, Ethernet, etc. communications.

• Work closely with hardware teams to support board design, bring-up, and verification, as well as integration and test.

• Interface with System Development engineers to automate data acquisition, transport and processing

• Interface with Antenna Engineers to automate post-processing using third-party software suites and generation of test reports.

• Follow best practices in high reliability embedded software development to ensure high levels of reliability and availability.

A day in the life

In this role, a typical day involves collaborating with engineers to support the development of embedded phased array technology and MAC functionality. This includes testing phased arrays, deploying advanced algorithms for tracking and control, and steering. The day may consist of analyzing data, troubleshooting technical issues, and working on software development. Additionally, the person may participate in meetings to discuss project progress and provide input on strategies for improving the performance of the phased array system. Overall, the job involves a combination of technical tasks, problem-solving, and collaboration with a team to ensure the successful development and implementation of advanced technologies for phased array systems.
