Role overview
Tarana Wireless is a telecommunications company that creates and leads the next-generation fixed wireless access (ngFWA) category. Founded in 2009 by four Berkeley Ph.D.s, the company has developed proprietary technology to deliver reliable, high-speed residential broadband through wireless means. Their flagship platform, Gigabit 1 (G1), is designed to provide fiber-class broadband service at a fraction of the cost and deployment time of traditional wired solutions. The platform overcomes industry challenges such as non-line-of-sight connectivity and interference in unlicensed spectrum, delivering speeds up to 800 Mbps with strong immunity to obstructions and interference. Tarana’s technology is deployed by over 300 internet service providers across 24 countries and 47 U.S. states, addressing both rural areas with limited broadband infrastructure and urban markets seeking competitive alternatives to monopoly providers.
What you will do
- Design and implement calibration software architectures, APIs, and RFIC impairment correction algorithms using C/C++ in an RTOS environment.
- Lead the system integration and debugging of signal processing modules on complex hardware platforms for both base stations and user equipment.
- Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers through code reviews and architectural oversight of DSP software modules.
Who this is a fit for
- Holds an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering with a deep mastery of OFDM, MIMO, and linear algebra for wireless communications.
- Possesses 10+ years of experience designing and implementing signal processing algorithms on multi-core DSP or ARM architectures.
- Expert-level proficiency in C/C++ and Python with a strong background in real-time embedded systems, RTOS, and hardware/software interaction.
Why this role is remarkable
- Work on market-leading Fixed Wireless Access technology that delivers fiber-class speeds where traditional infrastructure fails.
- Ownership of critical Layer 1 proprietary 5G protocol stacks within a company experiencing massive global growth and traction.
- Collaborative environment bridging the gap between high-level software groups and hardware ASIC teams on complex multicore architectures.
