Senior Software Engineer (Radio Systems)

Overview

As a Senior Software Engineer in the Radio Systems team you will architect the Linux-based software framework that powers our next-generation communications and RF sensing technologies. You will bridge the gap between raw RF hardware and high-level autonomous systems, developing the high-performance user-space applications and kernel modules that bring reliable RF comms and insights to unmanned systems. Your expertise in Modern C++ and Linux internals will be the backbone of a scalable RF technology framework. You will collaborate with developers across Auterion's full technology stack to deliver tactical solutions to the air, ground, and sea, working closely with global OEMs and government agencies to ensure operational excellence in evolving environments.
