Sr. WiFi Systems & Algorithms Engineer

Plume is building its WiFi Systems and Algorithms team to take its Adaptive WiFi capabilities to its next phase of evolution. We have an exciting roadmap with WiFi 6E and WiFi 7 products getting rolled out in the market and this brings a lot of opportunities to innovate and develop algorithms to use and manage these additional capabilities of WiFi networks from the Cloud, to deliver best in class WiFi performance. We also have to continuously monitor and improve on the existing algorithms that have been deployed and delivering value to the customers. At the end of the day, we derive happiness from giving an optimal WLAN experience to our customers.

Be the member of a team that will define and architect Plume’s solution to monitor, control, and optimize WiFi Mesh networks. Be part of the exciting growth of a “unicorn” start-up company!

What you will do:

• Design & implement optimal algorithms in the cloud by leveraging features offered by existing and new WiFi standards like WiFi 7, culminating in an optimal WiFi network performance.
• Determine appropriate WiFi metrics originating from both WiFi clients and WiFi Access Points to accurately assess & improve Quality of Experience
• Determine parameters that can be controlled on WiFi clients and in the WiFi infrastructure Access Points, that can improve performance of WiFi links in complicated environments
• Analyze collected stats, and on the basis of observations, define an architecture and algorithms for managing WiFi connections
• Implement the architecture into real time and offline algorithms, including machine learning and formal optimization
• Define monitoring methods to show the quality of WiFi networks and its constituents links
• Define statistics and dashboards allowing service providers to understand the status and quality of connections across their entire network
