Software Engineer; m​/f​/d) Data Link Layer

Are you fed up with endless meetings and aimless roadmaps? Are you passionate about communications engineering and looking for technological challenges? Do you want to develop modern communications solutions instead of just talking about them? If so, you've come to the right place.

We are PHYTRONIC, a start-up based in Dresden that focuses on the development and research of communications engineering solutions. We specialise in innovative solutions for terrestrial and space-based radio communication systems. Our mission is to rethink radio communication, from smart antennas and digital signal processing to modern protocol architectures in the physical and data link layers.

Join our team and help us develop the communication systems of tomorrow.
