ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Communication Systems Engineer with a strong background in Telecommunications, Networking, and Wireless Communication to lead the development of robust remote-control solutions for our robotic platform. This role requires expertise in RC control, WiFi, LoRa, and other wireless protocols to ensure seamless operation in real-world conditions.
Additionally, the ideal candidate should have a Mechatronics background, with solid experience in electronics design and PCB development to create custom hardware solutions for our platform.
This position requires a hands-on problem solver with strong expertise in wireless communication protocols, embedded electronics, and PCB design. If you thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment and enjoy pushing the boundaries of wireless and embedded systems, we’d love to hear from you!

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

· Design and develop low-latency wireless comms for remote-controlled robots (e.g. WiFi, LoRa, 4G/5G).
· Build and test robust PCBs and embedded hardware for long-range, real-time control.
· Own the comms architecture—from protocol selection to RF tuning and field testing.
· Work hands-on with our robotics and embedded teams to integrate and optimise signal pathways.
· Prototype, test, and iterate quickly in both lab and live environments.
· Lead documentation, testing reports, and technical troubleshooting.
· Mentor junior engineers and support hiring as we scale.
