Skydio is the world leader in autonomous flight, combining best-in-class AI, hardware, and cloud connectivity to make drones indispensable infrastructure across public safety, defense, and enterprise. Delivering this vision at scale requires rethinking wireless from the ground up. We’re looking for a Wireless Software Engineer to join our team and help reimagine how WiFi and cellular links can be customized for autonomous drones operating in challenging, interference heavy, long-range environments. You’ll work hands-on with chipsets, dig into low-level firmware, and write software to extend range, boost reliability, and deliver steady, high-quality video streams in places standard WiFi was never meant to go. If you know wireless protocols, and love bending them, this is your chance to redefine what’s possible in autonomous systems.
Job Responsibility:
Play a key role in pushing the boundaries of Skydio’s wireless capabilities – delivering longer range, faster connectivity, and secure data transmission
Work on a new and innovative communication protocol to facilitate best-in-class mesh drone communication
Design and implement innovative solutions to facilitate reliable and efficient drone communication in an OFDMA-based mesh network
Design, develop, and optimize wireless software and firmware across WLAN, LTE, and 5G to enhance connectivity, range, and robustness
Implement and validate system-level algorithms in software to meet performance KPIs under congested and dynamic network conditions
Requirements:
Strong understanding of WLAN and/or cellular protocols, including OFDMA, mesh networking, and scheduled network operations
Proficient in firmware development with a solid foundation in wireless communication systems
Well-versed in C++, C and Python
Strong software engineering skills, including design, implementation, and performance tuning of wireless features
Skilled in diagnosing and resolving complex issues spanning multiple layers, including hardware
Proven ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams including RF, Hardware, and Systems
What we offer:
Equity in the form of stock options
Comprehensive benefits packages
Relocation assistance may also be provided for eligible roles
