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.

Roles

Here are a few examples of roles we are looking to fill at our offices in Houston, TX. Please reach out to us if you think you are a good fit for our company, even if you don’t see an exact match in our list of roles. We are a startup, and we all wear many hats.

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.
