Alif established its first European R&D site to Oulu to be a significant center of expertise and employ teams of Software and Digital IC Design experts, to complement the staff in the US and India. We are headquartered in the US, and our office in the Oulu Technology Park employs about 35 employees.
Our local team consists of very experienced experts as well as younger talents ready to take on new challenges in their careers. Our days here often consist of solving very high-level technical challenges and creating new technology, and we can offer you growth opportunities that are unique and rewarding. We have an open, supportive, and relaxed culture. We enjoy coming to the office and collaborating with one another.
As our Finnish site grows, we are looking for a (Senior) Embedded Software Engineer to our Wireless Connectivity Team, working on 15.4, Mesh and BLE development.
Specializing as a wireless engineer, you will work at a variety of levels: All the way from configuring RF to building Zephyr OS applications. The role centers on integrating and maintaining the ROM code split between 2 cores separating controller and host stack for BLE, and 802.15.4 controller and application. You will optimize the low-power scenarios to ensure very long lifetime of embedded devices by reducing battery consumption.
If you are an embedded developer at heart - comfortable with communication protocols and at home where hardware and software meet - this is the role for you to grow into
This is a permanent, full-time position for an engineer capable of independent planning, organizing, and executing their own work. The role does not require prior experience in a lead or managerial position but does require a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
