## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent
 * Deep wireless protocol systems experience: has owned specifications from concept through implementation handoff in a commercial wireless product spanning multiple protocol layers
 * MAC and PHY layer fluency across the full stack: can reason about waveform behavior, frame structure, MAC scheduling, and cloud protocol logic
 * Wireless communications background: understands duty cycle constraints, link budgets, and the specific failure modes of low-power wide-area wireless
 * Quantitative systems analysis: comfortable with link budget calculations, capacity modeling, and the kind of back-of-envelope physics that validates whether a system concept is achievable
 * Strong written specification discipline

Strongly Preferred

 * Qualcomm, Apple, or similar systems engineering and/or wireless architecture background where cross-layer system ownership is practiced
 * Experience working at the interface between system design and firmware or protocol implementation: has been on both sides of a specification handoff and understands what makes it work or fail
 * Simulation environment experience. AI simulation experience is especially helpful.
 * Network planning or capacity analysis tooling experience

## Description

You will own the translation layer between system-level architecture and working implementation. The system architecture here is deep, fast-moving, and technically demanding, spanning waveform design, novel MAC and PHY protocols, multi-hop mesh routing, GPS processing algorithms, and the software stack from endpoint firmware through cloud.

What You'll Do:

 * Translating system-level concepts into implementable specs across endpoint firmware, network-side software, and cloud protocol logic
 * Architecture review: evaluating proposed system designs for implementability, identifying constraints and failure modes before they reach the implementation teams
 * Interface definition: owning the specification of boundaries between protocol layers and between teams
 * Simulation environment requirements: utilizing AI and defining what the simulation environment needs to validate against feature specifications
 * System-level link budget and capacity analysis
