Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Join the Team That's Redefining Wireless Technology

At Tarana, we're more than just a fast-growing tech company—we’re a team of bold innovators on a mission to revolutionize broadband. Our groundbreaking Fixed Wireless Access technology is delivering fiber-class internet speeds worldwide, bridging the digital divide in ways previously thought impossible.

As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer, you will work in a team whose primary responsibility is to bring up and maintain a stable operating platform and build a system for our next-generation Fixed Wireless Access (ngFWA) products.  

Core traits we prioritize include intellectual curiosity, a collaborative team-first mindset, and coachability. Success in our small-company setting requires flexibility as roles evolve, the capacity to respond to rapid changes, and the initiative to learn independently. You should be prepared to manage your projects comprehensively from start to finish without relying on extensive support systems.

Candidates must demonstrate the leadership necessary to drive features to completion and the analytical skills to identify and resolve complex issues with efficient, high-quality solutions.

What You’ll Do:

• Collaborate with Hardware Engineers, Firmware Engineers, Software Engineers, and Product Managers to design, develop, integrate, and test new features: collecting requirements, understanding HW/SW interactions, producing design documents and test plans, and writing software
• Provide platform software expertise to application developers to enable the development of a stable, high-performance product
• Work in the lab to validate functionality, reproduce and debug issues, set up and automate tests, and provide software support
• Dive into unfamiliar component datasheets, work with product reference boards and supplier FAEs to investigate, debug, and solve problems, and use information learned to guide design improvements
• Work with manufacturing and operations to provide software support for the qualification of alternate parts, BOM updates, and pre-provisioning of components

What You'll Need:

• BS in Computer Science/Engineering, MS preferred, or equivalent industry experience
• Expert knowledge of Linux/RTOS platform development in modern multi-core ARM processor-based embedded systems
• 5+ years of C/C++ embedded systems development experience
• Ability to write scripts and automate tasks with Python and bash
• Hands-on experience with cross-compilation toolchains targeting embedded linux systems
• Comfortable working in an electronic lab environment, probing hardware, and experience with common lab equipment such as JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and signal analyzers
• Excellent written and oral communication skills

• Experience reading schematics and datasheets
• Attention to detail

What Would Make You Stand Out

• Experience in embedded software development for carrier and/or enterprise products in telecommunications. Ideally, on products with internally developed SoCs
• Experience with git, Rust, golang, bazel, buildroot, grpc, protobuf, zephyr, U-Boot, ATF
• A working conceptual understanding of digital signal processing as applied to wireless communications — modulation, filtering, sampling, and baseband interfacing

The salary range for this position is: $130,000 to $175,000
Compensation will be determined based on several factors, including, but not limited to: skill set, years of experience, and the employee’s geographic location.
Tarana provides competitive benefits to employees in this role, including: Medical, dental, and vision benefits, 401K match, flexible time off, and stock options.
