Software Engineer, Wireless – Cellular

SENIOR CELLULAR/5G SOFTWARE ENGINEER – Palo Alto, CA – $150,000-$185,000   Want to put your code in the driver’s seat of next-generation connected vehicles?   Join a growing engineering and product development company building connected technology for global automotive brands. In this senior, hands-on individual contributor role, you’ll own critical pieces of the cellular stack—from embedded Linux and LTE/5G to modem integration and eSIM. Think challenging engineering, real ownership, and software that hits the road.   Who you are: You bring 6+ years of embedded or systems software experience, including 3+ years shipping production LTE/5G cellular software. You’re strong in C++17 and embedded Linux—and enjoy getting close to the hardware. You’ve integrated cellular modems using QMI, AT commands, MBIM, Android RIL, or similar technologies. You love cracking tough connectivity problems, digging into modem logs with QXDM, QCAT, or similar tools to find what others miss.   What you’ll do: Build the C++ software that keeps vehicles connected to LTE and 5G networks, wherever the road takes them. Bring remote carrier switching to life through eSIM software that manages profiles and connectivity services. Get hands-on with Qualcomm and other modem platforms, making connectivity reliable across carriers and countries. Solve the hard stuff: stubborn registration failures, roaming issues, dropped connections, emergency calling, and modems that need to recover without the driver lifting a finger.   Why work here: See your engineering hit the road in vehicles across global automotive brands. Own meaningful technical challenges alongside modem vendors, carriers, and cloud connectivity teams. Join engineers who share what they know, tackle problems together, and care about building things well. Enjoy benefits that support life beyond the laptop: 401(k) matching, health coverage, paid parental leave, paid time off, and employee referral programs.   What does this position pay?
