Burnaby, Canada Skycope Technologies Inc Full time

**Who We Are**
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), also known as drones, are becoming more common, and consequently pose threats to people and infrastructure in sensitive locations such as airports, energy facilities, prisons, and military bases. We founded Skycope in 2016 to solve the small drone problem.

Skycope develops radio frequency (RF) spectrum sensing devices, including software and hardware, that search for drones and their remote-controllers, classify and identify them, and track their direction and location. The four pillars in Skycope products are being data-driven, development of cutting edge signal processing technologies, continuous innovation in RF artificial-intelligence (AI), and countless real world experiments.

Skycope’s mission, however, is beyond anti-drone; it is to make the radio smart and transform the outdated wireless industry. We team up with the world's best and brightest people to help make this future a reality.

**Job Brief**

We are looking for a passionate wireless researcher who can develop core RF detection and tracking algorithms based on real data of drones, their remote controllers, and other wireless devices that may be present in the environment. In addition, you will develop and maintain internal test tools for testing our various wireless products.

- Conduct test-and-discovery cycles for finding new algorithms.
- Automate research and test procedures by making internal tools.
