Senior Embedded Software Engineer ll (Remote)

Join Axon and be a Force for Good.

At Axon, we’re on a mission to Protect Life. We’re explorers, pursuing society’s most critical safety and justice issues with our ecosystem of devices and cloud software. Like our products, we work better together. We connect with candor and care, seeking out diverse perspectives from our customers, communities and each other.

Life at Axon is fast-paced, challenging and meaningful. Here, you’ll take ownership and drive real change. Constantly grow as you work hard for a mission that matters at a company where you matter.

Your Impact

The Mesh and Opportunistic Networking Team at Axon is building hardware and software that enables First Responders to continue communicating when “off-grid”. Axon’s existing products and services assume LTE and/or WiFi connectivity to the cloud, and this is not continuously available during our customer’s most critical missions.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer II to design and build the software components that make this possible. This will include MAC and higher layers for RF communications subsystems as well as application-layer changes to remove the assumption of continuous cloud connectivity. This software will be used in our RF subsystems and will be integrated into our Axon Body cameras, our SkyHero UAVs, our Axon Fleet vehicle computing systems, and other future applications. The Senior Software Engineer II will be the most senior hands-on software engineer in the team developing products and solutions.
