THAT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF YOU HAVE:
- • 7+ years of professional experience in RF and wireless communication systems, with hardware that has been successfully brought to production or real-world deployment.
• Proven experience across the full development cycle:
schematic → PCB layout → firmware → bring-up → field validation.
• Strong STM32 programming skills in C.
• Hands-on experience with antenna integration on compact or mobile platforms.
• Strong practical experience with RF measurement equipment.
• Solid understanding of digital communications sufficient to make engineering decisions regarding channel parameters and system architecture.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation in English.
• Comfortable working in a small engineering team with tight deadlines and an evolving technical scope.
WOULD BE A PLUS:
• Practical experience with mesh networks beyond simple point-to-point communication.
• Experience with electronic warfare environments, anti-jamming techniques, or operation in congested RF spectrum.
• Experience with unmanned systems, avionics, or platforms with strict size, weight, power, and energy constraints.
• Production experience with LoRa and MAVLink.
• Experience taking a radio product through regulatory certification.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Audit the existing RF subsystem, including schematics, PCB layout, RF front end, and antenna architecture.
• Identify technical risks and prepare a clear improvement and revision plan.
• Design and release the next revision of the RF PCB, from schematic capture through laboratory characterization.
• Develop firmware for STM32-based radio modules, including transceiver drivers, protocol-layer functionality, and node synchronization.
• Build and maintain a link-budget model for the target system, including degraded and worst-case scenarios.
• Develop antenna solutions and ensure compatibility between multiple co-located radio systems.
• Contribute to mesh-network architecture, including channel parameters, node-loss behavior, network recovery, and fallback routing.
• Integrate the telemetry link with the flight controller via MAVLink.
• Define and execute laboratory and field validation campaigns.
• Quantitatively evaluate communication-link performance under interference and jamming.
• Produce technical documentation suitable for external technical review.
• Support preparation for regulatory certification.
• Perform technical evaluation of RF-related suppliers and components.
