ISCO International LLC is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help architect, develop and implement ISCO's telecommunications products. The role may include DSP algorithm implementation, driver and API development, O&M function design, and support of automated test development efforts. The candidate should have a background in wireless communication with experience in embedded Linux at application and kernel levels and practical knowledge of ARM processors.

• Architect, develop and implement embedded software for ISCO's telecommunications products.
• Contribute to DSP algorithms, drivers, APIs, and O&M function design.
• Support automated test development efforts as part of a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams and communicate effectively with senior management and technical staff.

• BS in Engineering; an MSEE is a plus.
• Minimum of seven to ten years related experience.

• Proficiency in C++ programming in an embedded Linux environment.
• Proficiency in object-oriented design with a focus on modular, maintainable, and reusable software.
• Proficiency in developing multi-process and multi-threaded embedded Linux applications.
• Experience in embedded software/driver design and implementation for Linux platforms interfacing with FPGA hardware, PCIe cards, NICs, and similar devices.
• Experience with Ethernet protocols and debugging networking issues.
• Experience with embedded Linux platforms such as Yocto.
• Experience in C programming in an embedded Linux environment.
• Experience with version control systems such as Git.
• Knowledge of the software development life cycle from requirements to design, implementation, testing, and release.
• Strong work ethic and the ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Effective oral and written communication with senior management and technical staff.

• Knowledge and experience in adjacent areas - FPGA and DSP.
• Experience with LTE and/or 5G protocol stack software and data plane drivers.
• Proficiency in Python programming in an embedded systems environment.
• Familiarity with Python mathematical and data analysis packages.
• Experience with Linux server platforms including Ubuntu.
• Experience with Linux kernel device driver development and debugging.
• Familiarity with PCIe, SPI, I2C, GPIO, DMA flash devices, and other hardware interfaces.
• Knowledge of security best practices in embedded systems development.
• Ability to test, validate and debug issues using RF measurement equipment like a Spectrum Analyzer.
• Experience with automated system testing.
• Familiarity with ISO 9001:2015 quality standard requirements for documenting all phases of development is a plus but not necessary.

• Occasional domestic travel in support of customer meetings or product trials is required. Travel is estimated at about 10% of the time.
• Some work may be required during off hours (e.g., between 12am - 4am) or on weekends due to 24/7 cellular operator environments.

This position is at ISCO headquarters in Schaumburg, IL. Remote candidates are also strongly considered given the right set of skills and experience.
