Associate Wireless Software Engineer

Flock

13d•$100,000 - $150,000•Onsite

About The Position

As Flock scales its Drone as a First Responder solutions across complex outdoor environments, maintaining uninterrupted high-definition video streaming and low-latency telemetry data paths is essential to real-time operations. Expanding our connectivity architecture across non-line-of-sight terrestrial and aerial systems requires software engineers who can integrate physical radio hardware into embedded stacks. You will write software across Linux user space and driver layers, evaluate link statistics, and optimize wireless communication for our autonomous fleets.

Requirements

Solid foundational programming skills in C, C++, and Python alongside basic software development tooling like Git and debugging utilities.
Demonstrated capability in Linux environments and a technical understanding of networking concepts or embedded systems.
Practical exposure to wireless communications, networking, or microcontrollers through academic coursework, student design teams, research labs, or personal projects.
Communication skills and a strong drive to learn from senior engineers while building complex autonomous technology.
A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related technical field.

Nice To Haves

Experience with wireless standards like 802.11 or 5G, single-board computers, SDRs, or robotics design teams is a plus.

Responsibilities

Integrate off-the-shelf and custom radio hardware into our drone connectivity architecture across Wi-Fi and cellular stacks.
Write, test, and maintain software routines across the Linux user space and driver layers using C, C++, and Python.
Develop automated routines to extract, log, and analyze wireless link performance metrics such as RSSI, SNR, and packet loss.
Collaborate with cross-functional RF, embedded systems, and cloud teams to design rate adaptation algorithms for dynamic flight environments.
Run flight data analyses and perform hardware-in-the-loop testing in connectivity labs to validate real-world aerial performance.
