Ajax Systems is a full-cycle company working from idea generation and R&D to mass production and sales. We do everything: we produce physical devices (the system includes many different sensors and hubs), write firmware for them, develop the server part and release mobile applications. The team is distributed among 2 offices in Kyiv and Lviv, all technical and product decisions are made locally.
Ajax already released and continuously improves Malevich OS, which is a heart of our Hub’s. Now we are looking for  Embedded Radio Engineers who are ready to make our system better with us. For us never could be enough: there are still a lot of new functionality, sensors, features to make our system even cooler.

Required skills:

    • Proven experience in short range devices development for commercial products.
    • Understanding wireless technologies (e.g. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, NB-IoT) and protocols stack
    • Work with RF tools to capture, transmit and analyze RF signals from/to radio broadcast. Vector network analyzer, signal generator, spectrum analyzer, software defined radio
    • Knowledge about circuit/block design of RF receiver/Transmitter, frequency synthesizer, mixers, digital signal processing, antennas arrays. Understand interferer and collision in RF, methodology of resolve conflicts in RF.
    • Understands different modulation techniques (AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, PSK, QAM), understands emit RF spectrums depend of modulation, understands receiver sensitivity, budget of RF channel.
    • Knowledge of embedded coding techniques, interfaces (e.g. SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, RS485) and subsystems

Would be a plus:

    • Experience with ARM Cortex M (STM, Realtek, TI etc)
    • Scripting languages Python, Bash
    • Commercial experience with specific real-time operating systems.
    • Understanding regulatory of usage radio frequency.
    • Good hands-on experience of software engineering fundamentals such as testing, continuous integration, continuous deployment, pull requests and code reviews, source control, work item/issue tracking.

Responsibility zone:

    • Participate in the full embedded software life cycle for RF solutions: choise, design, implementation, code reviews, documentation, testing and validation
    • Fine tune RF chips for best performance.
    • Create test enviroment to validate quality gates for radio solutions
    • Analysis and systematic problem solving for reported issues
    • Cooperate with electrical engineers to perform verification of new hardware from radio perspective. Review and provide feedback on the firmware specific aspects of hardware design
    • Be ready to mentoring of newcomers|trainee coworkers
