- Learning new technologies and developing fundamentally new approaches as needed.
- Working in cross-discipline teams to solve hard problems through collaboration.
Requirements & Tech Stack
- Extensive experience building low level software that reliably runs in a range of environmental conditions.
- High proficiency in C and C++.
- Thorough understanding of the theory and practice of buffers, transports, schedulers, and similar low-level software constructs.
- Theoretical and practical knowledge of signal processing techniques such as (Nyquist sampling, convolutions, Fourier transforms, etc.) is a strong plus.
- Understanding of hardware (ruggedized compute, amplifiers, software defined radios, etc.) is a strong plus.
