Your Impact
The Mesh and Opportunistic Networking Team at Axon is building hardware and software that enables First Responders to continue communicating when "off-grid". Axon's existing products and services assume LTE and/or WiFi connectivity to the cloud, and this is not continuously available during our customer's most critical missions.
We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to design and build the software components that make this possible. This will include MAC and higher layers for RF communications subsystems as well as application-layer changes to remove the assumption of continuous cloud connectivity.
