Embedded Engineer (SDR / Networking / Real-Time Systems)

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Engineer to join a long-term project focused on the development of a high-end Software Defined Radio (SDR) product that has already entered commercial production and is being sold in hundreds of units.

The product is a complex embedded system combining RF, FPGA, NXP processors, and high-performance networking components. You will work on core system software responsible for real-time data processing, control planes, and high-speed data paths.

This is a long-term project with no location restrictions — candidates from Ukraine and other regions are welcome.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop embedded software for an SDR platform based on NXP processors
• Implement user-space and kernel-space software components
• Build and maintain high-speed data paths inside the SDR and between external devices (PC, cloud)
• Develop and operate control planes (internal SDR logic and external integrations)
• Work on real-time software with strict performance and latency requirements
• Implement data processing pipelines using UDP/TCP/DPDK
• Ensure secure data handling (VPNs, encryption, ciphering activation)
• Collaborate within a system that includes FPGA-based processing (FPGA coding not required)
• Debug complex real-time and high-performance systems
• Participate in system-level design and optimization

Requirements

• Strong experience with embedded Linux and NXP processors
• Solid understanding of real-time software development and highly efficient C/C++ code
• Deep knowledge of networking protocols and data transport
• Hands-on experience with DPDK, UDP/TCP, and high-throughput networking
• Experience working with complex embedded systems and real-time processing
• Strong debugging skills in real-time and low-level environments
• Proficiency in C / C++, with working knowledge of Python
• Understanding of software lifecycle management, including:
  • Secure software images
  • Field-deployed software upgrades
  • Monitoring and maintenance
• Good level of English for technical communication

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of RF systems and RF signals
• Understanding of time synchronization technologies (GNSS, IEEE 1588, clock synchronization)
• Experience with security-related networking features
