Wireless Engineer (SDR)

SkySafe ( https://skysafe.io ) | Wireless Engineer (SDR) | San Diego, CA | REMOTE or 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.
We can make this role work remotely (we have good tools and techniques to get you the data you need, and can ship hardware), but if you're in San Diego and want access to an office with nice equipment, that's even better. 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. Apply: brian@ for a direct line, https://jobs.lever.co/skysafe for the formal route (we have some other roles I'm not the HM for listed there, too, if you're interested in the company!)
