Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain Python-based backend solutions for SDR and RF communication applications. 
- Implement and optimize signal processing algorithms, waveform generation, and RF data analysis using Python. 
- Work with SDR frameworks, with a primary focus on SoapySDR, followed by GNU Radio, Ettus USRP, and other SDR platforms. 
- Develop Python-based APIs, libraries, and automation tools to streamline RF communication workflows. 
- Integrate new software modules into existing and future software pipelines, ensuring compatibility, performance, and scalability. 
- Utilize Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, PyQt, and scikit-signal for backend data processing and visualization. 
- Configure and manage multi-Python environments using Pyenv and Poetry for dependency management and virtual environments. 
- Leverage GPU acceleration (CUDA, OpenCL, or CuPy) to optimize real-time signal processing and computation-intensive tasks. 
- Perform real-time data analysis, filtering, and transformation of RF signals. 
- Develop robust unit tests, integration tests, and performance optimizations to ensure backend software reliability
- Follow Agile development methodologies, participating in daily standups, sprints, and code reviews. 
- Work extensively in Ubuntu-based development environments, ensuring software compatibility, stability, and optimization on Linux systems. 
- Maintain documentation, version control (Git), and CI/CD pipelines for efficient software deployment. 



Required Qualifications: 
-
6+ years of experience with Python backend development
-Expertise in Software-Defined Radios (SDR), RF communication, and signal processing.
