The Space Communications Research Group is investigating different research lines related to Internet of Things (IoT) satellite communications and Inter-Satellite Link (ISL) interactions. In particular, the development of new communication protocols for satellite networks that provides IoT coverage becomes one of the main research topics of the group. The Space Communications department is seeking a Software engineer who is willing to get involved in exciting Research and Innovation projects.
One of those innovation projects is the deployment of a 5G network communication system in the space for IoT devices. The candidate will participate in the second phase of this project, which needs to migrate a x86 software solution to an arm64 architecture and extend it with new functionalities.
Additionally, the research group is also working on different projects to develop software in embedded systems, like Software Defined Radio (SDR) modules. In particular, the candidate will participate in the development of a specific software in an embedded Linux environment (i.e. Yocto), and in the future CubeSat developments.
She/He will develop the following tasks:
Who we are:
The i2CAT Foundation is a non-profit research and innovation center that promotes mission-driven R&D activities on advanced Internet architectures, applications, and services. More than 15 years of international research define our expertise in the fields of 5G, IoT, VR, and Immersive Technologies, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, AI, and Digital Social Innovation. The center partners with companies, public administration, academia, and end-users to leverage this knowledge in order to meet real social and business challenges.
The greatest value of i2CAT is the talent of the people who make up our human team. We enjoy a team of people from more than 13 different nationalities and work every day to create and foster a work environment where we all feel comfortable creating, innovating and growing.

What do we offer?
Where will you do it?
At i2CAT we already have an established telework policy for some time. You can work from home or from the office, whichever suits you best. We ask that you attend the office two days per week, one to stay connected with the team and the other one to establish relations.
If you decide to come to the office, we are located in Zona Universitària, next to the Campus Nord of the UPC, within a multidisciplinary and multicultural environment. It is a very well connected area (metro, tram, bus) with bars and restaurants around.
Our offices are designed with an open-office concept where everything is light and transparency (we do not have opaque rooms). We have a variety of workspaces so that you don't have to be at the same table all day.
i2CAT is an organization committed to equal opportunities. That is why we seek to increase the number of women in those areas where they are underrepresented, and therefore explicitly encourage the female collective to apply.
i2CAT is an organization committed to diversity and we seek to increase the number of people with disabilities in our team.
