Senior PHY Algorithms & Wireless Standards Engineer

Location: Israel - Caesarea (IL)

Description

Wiliot was founded by the team that invented one of the technologies at the heart of 5G. Their next vision was to develop an IoT sticker, a computing element that can power itself by harvesting radio frequency energy, bringing connectivity and intelligence to everyday products and packaging — things previously disconnected from the IoT. This revolutionary mixture of cloud and semiconductor technology is being used by some of the world’s largest consumer, retail, food, and pharmaceutical companies to change the way we make, distribute, sell, use, and recycle products.

Our investors include Softbank, Amazon, Alibaba, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, and PepsiCo.

Wiliot is redefining what’s possible in the Internet of Things. Our Ambient IoT platform uses self-powered, battery-free wireless elements that harvest energy from radio waves to connect everyday products to the cloud. Founded by the innovators behind one of the core technologies in 5G, Wiliot combines AI, cloud, radio, communication, and semiconductor expertise to make the physical world intelligent and connected. We are seeking a senior communication systems engineer to help develop the next generation of algorithms and standards that power this revolution.
