Auterion develops a standardized operating system that powers fleets of autonomous robots and drones.
<p><strong>Overview</strong></p> <p>As a Senior Software Engineer in the Radio Systems team you will architect the Linux-based software framework that powers our next-generation communications and RF sensing technologies. You will bridge the gap between raw RF hardware and high-level autonomous systems, developing the high-performance user-space applications and kernel modules that bring reliable RF comms and insights to unmanned systems. Your expertise in Modern C++ and Linux internals will be the backbone of a scalable RF technology framework. You will collaborate with developers across Auterion's full technology stack to deliver tactical solutions to the air, ground, and sea, working closely with global OEMs and government agencies to ensure operational excellence in evolving environments.</p> <p><strong>Responsibilities and Duties</strong></p> <ul> <li>Own a complex, multi-domain RF software ecosystem running on Linux</li> <li>Lead the design and development of high-performance user-space applications using Modern C++</li> <li>Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules and hardware abstraction layers to interface with RF baseband configurations</li> <li>Drive software quality through CI/CD integration and TDD</li> <li>Contribute to automated hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and maintain the test framework</li> <li>Collaborate with RF experts to create clean APIs for full-stack consumption of data</li> <li>Support OEM integrations and end customers directly, sometimes on-site</li> <li>Work with engineers to direct development of test infrastructure / QA processes</li> </ul> <p><strong>Qualifications and Skills</strong></p> <ul> <li>3+ years of experience in relevant software and engineering roles</li> <li>B.Sc. / M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering / Science or related fields</li> <li>Strong proficiency in Modern C++ (17/20) and systems programming</li> <li>Experience developing Linux kernel modules or character drivers (DMA, USB, PCIe, etc.)</li> <li>Deep understanding of Linux user-space development, including multi-threading and IPC</li> <li>Proven track record of implementing CI/CD pipelines and unit testing frameworks (e.g., GTest)</li> <li>Experience with high-throughput data processing or software-defined radios (SDR) is a plus</li> <li>Strong written and verbal communication skills to keep a global team fully informed</li> <li>Willingness for infrequent travel</li> <li>Bonus: you love radio technologies, tinker with radios and want to learn more about RF engineering</li> <li>CH/EU citizenship required </li> </ul> <p><strong>Benefits</strong></p> <ul> <li>Flexible working hours & hybrid workplace</li> <li>Stock Options</li> <li>Generous holiday allowance</li> <li>Retirement plan</li> <li>Company car for private use (Switzerland only)</li> <li>Enhanced maternity & paternity leave</li> <li>Mental health and wellbeing support</li> <li>Learning and development opportunities</li> <li>Flyday Friday - Fly a drone (1/x month)</li> <li>Regular team social</li> <li>Snacks & Drinks </li> </ul> <p><strong>About Auterion</strong></p> <p>We are building the leading software platform for AI-powered autonomous systems for enterprise and government customers.
