- 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
-Strong background in SoapySDR, GNU Radio, Ettus USRP, and related frameworks.
-Experience with multi-Python environments (Pyenv, Poetry) and GPU acceleration (CUDA, OpenCL, CuPy).
-Comfortable in an Ubuntu-based development environment with a focus on real-time data processing and CI/CD integration.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with machine learning applications in signal processing.
- Familiarity with Python-based automation and scripting for RF testing.
- Knowledge of cloud-based or edge computing platforms for RF data processing.
- Understanding of network protocols and real-time data streaming.
- Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments with exceptional time management skills.
Location & Work Environment:
- Hybrid/Remote flexibility based on project requirements.
- A collaborative and fast-paced environment focused on Python backend development for RF and SDR applications in Ubuntu-based environments.
