Job description

About Us


 


Wave Central, now a Domo Broadcast Systems (DBS) company, creates professional, high-quality RF wireless video solutions for broadcasting, sports, entertainment, cinema, and other commercial applications.


 


Our customers rely on our broadcast solutions and technologies for world-class events including the NFL, World Rally, Formula E, Americas Cup and Eurovision. We are committed to providing superior quality goods, services and support to capture the moments that matter.


 


Our wireless transmission systems support our point-point ultra-low latency COFDM waveform and mesh TDMA protocol. All our products are engineered, hand-built, tested, and serviced in our Carlise, PA Office. We aim to provide the highest picture quality with the lowest latency possible. We strive to ensure our client’s complete satisfaction with every system we deliver. It’s the Wave guarantee.


 


What will you be doing?


 


Reporting to the Director of Engineering, we are looking for a highly skilled and hands-on Embedded Software Engineer to join our team. In this role, you’ll serve as the technical leader driving system architecture, cross-disciplinary alignment, and the development of fully integrated digital hardware and embedded Linux systems.


 


As a core engineering leader, you’ll guide digital hardware, Linux software, RF, networking, mechanical, and manufacturing efforts—while also contributing directly to design, debugging, and product realization. You’ll collaborate with both local engineers and a distributed remote development team to bring Wave Central products from concept to production and beyond.


 


Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:


 



  • Leading system architecture, interface definitions, and key design decisions across hardware and software

  • Coordinating multiple engineering disciplines while contributing hands-on to technical development

  • Translating high-level product requirements into detailed engineering specifications, tasks, and deliverables

  • Designing and validating digital hardware, including board bring-up, debugging, and system-level performance testing

  • Developing embedded Linux components such as kernel drivers, device trees, system services, and application-level features

  • Partnering with remote software teams for code reviews, CI workflows, and integration support

  • Guiding prototyping efforts, system validation, manufacturing transitions, and release processes

  • Troubleshooting complex field and production issues across hardware, software, RF, and networking layers

  • Providing technical support and documentation for Product Management, Sales Engineering, Operations, and QA


 


What makes a successful Embedded Software Engineer?


 


A successful Embedded Software Engineer is a technical leader who thrives at the intersection of hardware, software, and system-level design. They excel at unifying cross-functional engineering disciplines, driving coherent architecture, and solving complex problems spanning digital design, embedded Linux, RF, and networking.


 


We’re looking for someone with:


 



  • Bachelor’s (Required) or Master’s (Desired) degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

  • Experience designing and debugging digital hardware systems

  • Strong embedded Linux development experience (kernel, drivers, device trees, system services)

  • Proven ability to lead and collaborate within distributed engineering teams

  • Proficiency in C/C++ and Python

  • Strong networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, routing, VLANs, multicast)

  • Expertise with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power measurement tools, and system-level debug workflows

  • Ability to work fluently across hardware, software, RF, and networking domains


 


Preferred:


 



  • Experience with video technologies (HEVC/H.264, MPEG-TS, SRT, RTP, GStreamer)

  • Familiarity with FPGA development (Verilog/VHDL)

  • Experience with Yocto, Buildroot, or custom Linux distributions

  • Exposure to RF systems, wireless protocols, or mesh networking

  • Experience supporting manufacturing test development and product release processes



Preferred location for this role is the New Jersey area; however, remote candidates will also be considered. The position requires the ability to travel to support customer engagements and business needs. 


 

Benefits and Culture


 


Our culture is supportive and collaborative. You will be part of a multidisciplinary team where we share our ideas and innovation is strongly encouraged. We are looking for someone with genuine passion and a can-do attitude for what they do.


 


Our staff receive 15 days accrued paid time off per year, 9 Federal holidays, an opportunity to join our sponsored health and welfare plan, a generous 401k plan with matching employer contribution, an Employee Assistance Program, and more.


 


Interested in a career with us?


Simply click on APPLY and we’ll be in contact shortly.
