Wireless Systems Software Engineer

About the role

Serve as a technical expert across wireless technologies including Bluetooth, UWB, NFC, and related embedded communication interfaces. Architect, design, and develop reusable, scalable wireless software libraries with well-defined APIs that support multiple products and platforms. Design and integrate embedded software components that interface with wireless chipsets using industry-standard buses such as I²C, SPI, UART, and USB. Collaborate with hardware, firmware, OS, and application teams to integrate wireless subsystems into new products. Drive system-level debugging, performance optimization, and feature development across embedded and host software layers. Perform bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting of new wireless hardware platforms. Analyze system resource utilization, including memory footprint, CPU usage, power consumption, and latency, and optimize software for constrained embedded environments. Partner with program management and quality teams to investigate complex field issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement robust long-term solutions. Influence system architecture to ensure modularity, scalability, backward compatibility, and long-term maintainability across multiple product generations. Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical leadership while promoting engineering best practices. Identify technical risks early and propose architectural improvements that improve reliability, extensibility, and development velocity.
