At Skylark Wireless, we are always looking for talented individuals that share our passion for building the future landscape of digital infrastructure. We value smart, agile, and self-driven team members with the ability to work in a small, intimate team to tackle challenging research and engineering problems. If you join our team, you will be involved in the implementation and validation of proprietary MIMO technologies for the nascent rural broadband market utilizing custom Software-Defined Radio (SDR) equipment. On a day-to-day basis, you will work with our proprietary Xilinx FPGA-based platform and have the flexibility to define your own workflow and tools based on project requirements. You will assist other engineers with the specification and testing of new, innovative MIMO protocols and be involved with the development of patents and hardware integration for state-of-the-art wireless systems. About Us We are a wireless networking hardware startup headquartered in the vibrant heart of Houston, TX, specializing in Software-Defined Radios (SDR) and wireless beamforming or “Massive-MIMO” technologies for 5G wireless systems. Originally founded in 2012 by Ph.D. colleagues in order to provide custom software-defined radio equipment for research and development, today we design and manufacture 5G/Next-G radio solutions, addressing the needs of the rural broadband market. Skylark’s proprietary Faros® last-mile radio platform provides high-speed, point-to-multi-point (PtMP), non-line-of-sight (NLoS) links over tens of miles using patented Massive-MIMO technologies first developed at Rice University. Skylark is pre-Series A and funded through a mix of sales, seed investment, and federal grants. With your help, we will be bringing our next-generation Faros Massive MIMO system to market in the Texas region and beyond.
