About the role
The Senior Systems Software Engineer will play a crucial role in improving real-time streaming performance over 5G, Wi-Fi, and other wireless networks, particularly in the context of automotive, robotics, and physical AI applications.
Responsibilities
- Build, develop, and optimize low-latency C/C++ software to enhance real-time streaming over 5G, Wi-Fi, and other bandwidth-limited wireless networks.
- Develop connectivity solutions that integrate with cellular, Wi-Fi, and platform APIs while diagnosing anomalies using telemetry, packet captures, modem diagnostics, and user data.
- Analyze logs, packet captures, modem diagnostics, network telemetry, and user metrics to address latency, system efficiency, handover, packet loss, and recovery issues.
- Create network quality KPIs, automated test frameworks, and realistic wireless network simulations to validate streaming performance under challenging real-world conditions.
- Partner with cloud networking teams, automotive partners, wireless carriers, and platform engineers to deliver scalable streaming solutions, while mentoring engineers and advancing guidelines for wireless connectivity.
- Utilize data analysis and modeling tools to understand real-world network behavior and identify areas for improvement.
Requirements
- Master’s degree, Ph.D., or equivalent experience in Computer Science, EE, or a closely related field.
- 8+ years of experience in wireless networking and software development.
- Hands-on experience with wireless communication technologies, including 5G, Wi-Fi, or satellite connectivity, with familiarity across modern 5G architectures and deployments.
- Familiarity with 5G core networks and practical 5G deployments across different spectrum, access, and network architectures.
- Strong hands-on experience in C/C++ software development, optimization, and debugging.
- A deep understanding of streaming and connectivity-related technologies, including RTP, WebRTC, WebSockets, QUIC, SCTP, STUN/TURN, ICE, and NAT Traversal.
- Experience debugging connectivity or streaming issues using event logs, captured network data, telemetry, and network diagnostics.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work across software, platform, modem, carrier, and network layers.
Qualifications
- Experience with WebRTC, QUIC, RTP, adaptive streaming, congestion control, jitter buffering, packet loss recovery, or low-latency media transport.
- Experience with Android, iOS, Linux, QNX, embedded systems, 5G modems, automotive connectivity, telematics, or software-defined vehicles.
- Familiarity with interface bonding, multipath protocols, SD-WAN, VPNs, or network virtualization.
- Familiarity with SDN concepts such as control/data plane separation, traffic steering, policy-based routing, programmable networks, or network automation.
- Experience working with global ISPs, wireless service providers, carriers, or network equipment partners.
