COMPANY BACKGROUNDEpiq Solutions develops cutting-edge software-defined radio (SDR) products and processing solutions to enable spectrum dominance for maritime, land, air, and space domains. With 15 years serving government and commercial enterprise customers and 25K+ devices fielded to date, Epiq Solutions is a trusted partner with a proven heritage of delivering open architecture products in radically small form factors where time-to-market, cost, and performance are critical for mission success.For more information, visit
epiqsolutions.comINTRODUCTIONDo you enjoy developing complex multi-threaded Linux software applications?Is your sweet spot writing code to interact with the real world through a range of different hardware interfaces?Have you ever been challenged to architect software components that have to efficiently manage and process 100s - 1000s of Mbytes of data per second?If so, we’d like to talk.We are growing our software team responsible for the core set of software libraries and device drivers that enable our customers to build products leveraging our Sidekiq software defined radio portfolio. These software components (collectively called libsidekiq) provide a well-defined unified API to accelerate our customers developing radio applications in support of a wide range of use-cases, including applications such as 4G/5G base stations, RF test and measurement equipment, drone detection systems, and everything in between.JOB RESPONSIBILITIESLead the architecture and design of new software products and features.Collaborate with cross-functional teams (ex. product management, manufacturing, sales) to define product requirements.Take a set of high-level goals/requirements and translate them into the detailed software components and interfaces needed to achieve the desired result.Participate in strategic planning for the engineering department and contribute to roadmaps for software development.Leverage prior experience developing applications on both embedded and server-class Linux systems, using tools such as GCC, GDB, make/cmake, docker, Jenkins, and rpm/deb packaging.Participate in driver releases that harden a development branch into customer-ready distributions.Research and develop effective data movement strategies across CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.Debug Linux kernel space device drivers and the user space libraries that interface with them.Expand automated test coverage of codebase with signal in the loop control of external test equipment including USB/ethernet-enabled RF switches, attenuators, signal generators, and vector signal analyzers.Gather feedback from customers when debugging high complexity issues.Conduct code reviews and mentor junior engineers to promote best practices.Document technical specifications, design patterns, and development processes.REQUIRED SKILLSMinimum of 8 years of relevant software development experience.Bachelor's degree or higher in engineering, computer science or equivalent experience in software development.Able to work both independently and as part of a cross-domain engineering team.Significant demonstrated software engineering skills with experience in C/C++ development.Hands-on experience developing Linux user space applications for either ARM or x86-based platforms.Experience interfacing with low-level hardware peripherals (ex. Data converters, clock distribution chips, GPIO expanders) and hardware interfaces (ex. SPI, I2C, USB, PCIe, or 10GigE).A general understanding of RF or a basic understanding of signal processing concepts.Eligibility to work on Federal contracts which require US Citizenship.BENEFITSJoin a successful and growing company investing in our future success.Flexible work hours.Generous vacation policy.Paid five-week sabbatical every five years.401(k) matching.Health, dental, vision insurance.Life and long-term disability insurance.Employee assistance program.Wellness reimbursement.Charitable giving company match.Competitive salary commensurate with experience and performance.Fun, laid-back culture and rewarding work!Epiq Solutions is an Equal Employment Opportunity Employer - All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or status as a protected veteran.
