About The Position

We are a focused group of engineers with deep wireless and algorithm expertise, working within a larger organization responsible for Cisco's enterprise Wi-Fi access points. We combine that expertise with strong embedded software engineering, working closely together and moving fast. The problems we solve are real, spanning industries including industrial, medical, and smart office environments, and more. Right now, we are actively investing in Wi-Fi 8, device health intelligence, and Edge AI, bringing neural processing directly onto access points to enable real-time network intelligence and next generation physical AI applications. You will work on the design and implementation of enterprise Wi-Fi access point systems. Our solutions are deployed across smart office buildings, healthcare facilities, industrial complexes, and transportation hubs. In this role, you will contribute to the design and development of complex features and solutions, including: Cisco enterprise Wi-Fi access point features and protocols Wi-Fi 8 Software System Design Coexistence between different radio technologies in dense enterprise deployments Edge AI inference on access points for network monitoring and diagnostics Location technologies including UWB, Wi-Fi, and GNSS IoT Radio Protocols including BLE and 802.15.4

Requirements

Recent graduate or in your final year of studies toward a PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related major such as Math, Physics.
Strong understanding of Wireless technologies.
Proficiency in C and/or C++ on embedded platforms.
Experience with embedded systems, SoC integration, or Linux kernel/driver development.
Comfortable working across software and hardware boundaries, from driver and firmware up through cloud platforms.

Nice To Haves
