Senior Software Engineer Aerial Platform

Description

The Aerial CUDA Accelerated RAN is a framework for building high-performance, software-defined, cloud-native radio access network functions on the company CPU, GPU and DPU systems.

The team wants a senior software engineer to lead the performance and scalability of the platform, working on 5G and 6G networks and the software-defined digital signal processing stack.

The team is diverse and supportive.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and development of a new end-to-end reference system stack for 5G and 6G baseband systems.
• Optimize CPU, GPU and NIC subsystems for predictable low latency and maximum throughput.
• Work with cross-functional teams to resolve performance bottlenecks across CPU, GPU and NIC subsystems.
• Work in the lab to troubleshoot and integrate complex software modules.
• Write software that implements new baseband functions in C, C++, Python and CUDA on a GPU platform.
• Support system integration, performance testing, system demonstrations and lab trials of the end-to-end system.
• Act as the technical link between the engineering team and partner and customer engineering teams, including customer field trials.
• Help implement missing features that block customer or partner progress, and benchmark and build or evaluate test tools for Aerial SDK evaluation.

Requirements

• Background in wireless communication systems or digital signal processing, and industry experience developing PHY/MAC layer or baseband unit (BBU) software in C or C++.
• Understanding of PHY/MAC layer procedures, typical performance tradeoffs and overall system performance.
• Knowledge of LTE and 5G MAC and PHY, from both a systems view and a low-level 3GPP specification view, and the ability to move between the two.
• Comfortable using wireless lab equipment such as signal generators, network analyzers and power meters.
• Master's or PhD in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science or Telecommunications, or equivalent experience.
• 8+ years of proven work experience in software development or systems engineering.
• Ability to work as an individual contributor or in a technical leadership role, with strong written and oral communication skills for working with management and engineers.
• Strong time management and organization skills for coordinating multiple initiatives and new technology rollouts in complex projects, plus strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Optional: exposure to CUDA or GPU programming.
• Optional: experience in the telecommunications industry or with telecommunications customers or partners.
