Software Engineer
Spectrum IT Recruitment
Overview
In this role you will develop and optimise the software stack underpinning 5G NR PHY on embedded platforms. You will collaborate with software, hardware, architecture and test teams to deliver real-time performance for PHY algorithms. The work focuses on high-performance, platform-specific integration and validation, with opportunities to influence hardware acceleration and cross-team technical reviews. This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge 5G technology and embedded systems at scale.
Responsibilities- Develop software to run and test 5G NR PHY algorithms
- Develop and optimise platform-specific code for embedded systems
- Apply SIMD, multi-threading and hardware acceleration techniques
- Integrate PHY algorithms with ARM-based platforms and boards
- Improve and maintain CI testing across the platform
- Support interoperability testing with customers, vendors and operators
- Work closely with hardware, system architecture and system-test teams
- Contribute to technical reviews and customer-facing activities
- Strong C or C++ development experience
- Experience with a scripting language such as Python, Groovy or Bash
- Strong software engineering fundamentals and an interest in performance optimisation
- Real-time embedded systems and Linux (desirable)
- SIMD, FPGA or DSP-based hardware acceleration
- FPGA toolchains, particularly Xilinx Vivado
- O-RAN architecture and fronthaul protocols such as eCPRI
- ARM-based platforms
- Signal processing and optimisation techniques
