We’re looking for an experienced Linux engineer whose primary responsibility will be integrating various SDR (Software Defined Radio) devices into our software platform. This is a role for those who love working at the hardware-software boundary, understand how data travels from physical ports to high-level applications, and can make that path as fast and reliable as possible.
What you’ll do:
- Integrate different SDR models into a unified Linux-based ecosystem
- Work with vendor SDKs and develop high-performance userspace applications
- Optimize high-throughput data processing in real-time
- Write clean, stable, and performant code in C++ or Python
Debug inter-process communication, manage buffering and latency
Requirements:
- 5+ years of professional Linux systems experience
- Linux Power User: comfortable in terminal, understands kernel-space vs user-space, knows systemd and driver configuration
- Hardware Interface Expert: hands-on experience with USB 2.0/3.0, Ethernet, or other high-throughput interfaces
- Data Stream Architect: understands IPC principles, ring buffers, memory overflow prevention, and latency minimization for raw data transmission
- C++ Developer: writes reliable code that doesn’t crash on the first unexpected packet from hardware
English: B2 or higher
Nice to have:
- SDR experience: familiar with RTL-SDR, HackRF, USRP, or has GNU Radio experience
- Experience with ROS/ROS2 (node development, topics/services)
- Understanding of data transmission protocols and digital signal processing (DSP)
Hobbies related to electronics, radio communication, or robotics
We offer:
- Meaningful, high-impact work in Ukraine’s air defense domain
- Deep-tech engineering challenges where rigor and performance matter
- High ownership and autonomy from day one
- Work format: Kyiv office with occasional remote days
- Senior engineering team with direct communication and minimal bureaucracy
