Senior Algorithms & Software Engineer – UAV Communications | RADBEAM

We’re hiring: Senior Algorithms & Software Engineer – UAV Communications | RADBEAM

RADBEAM develops long-range wireless data links for UAVs, delivering robust connectivity in challenging environments through beamforming and intelligent, data-driven link control.

We’re a small, hands-on team with long-term backing from established owners and investors. As one of our first technical hires, you’ll work directly with the CTO and help shape our technology.

Your Challenge: From Algorithms to Real-World Performance

Develop and validate link algorithms and the software that powers them, taking ideas from simulation to code running on the radio and building test setups to evaluate performance in the lab and in the field.

What you’ll do:

• Develop algorithms and software for wireless communication systems, including link optimization, DSP, beamforming, mesh networking, and embedded software.
• Build neural network models to support real-time link decisions using test and field data.
• Develop automated test infrastructure for lab experiments, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and field trials.
• Analyze test and field data to identify performance bottlenecks and drive improvements.
• Collaborate with the hardware team on platform bring-up, integration, and system-level debugging.
• Use AI-assisted engineering tools in your everyday workflow.

What were looking for:

• 5+ years of experience developing algorithms or software for hardware-based systems.
• BSc or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Strong C/C++ and Python skills.
• A background in wireless communications or DSP.
• Experience building neural networks or data-driven models that inform decisions based on measured data.
• A practical, analytical mindset and the ability to own problems from investigation through implementation.

Bonus points for:

• MSc or PhD in a relevant field.
• Experience with RF systems, networking, or communication protocols such as MAVLink.
• Experience with embedded Linux, firmware, FPGA, or hardware-in-the-loop testing.
• Experience with drones or robotics.
