You will be joining a creative, self-directed, and self-motivated team of researchers dedicated to inventing novel air interface technologies. 

Who We Are 

We are a profitable company implementing an exciting business model in the LTE-Advanced, 5G, next-gen Wi-Fi, and video compression space. Our work is building the foundation of the next generation of advanced technologies in wireless networks. To fulfill on this mission, we have gathered an elite team of dedicated research engineers from across the globe. 

Working for Ofinno will present you with a unique opportunity to join this team and to develop advanced technologies that will be patented and put into practice by leading companies in the industry. Our goal is to nurture your thirst for a challenge by presenting you with the toughest dilemmas of the industry. To help you succeed in this environment, we are committed to providing a positive space for you to make your contributions and we encourage you to develop your skills and interests continually. If you are growing, we are growing. Our success is our team. 

On a daily basis, you will:   

• Research and optimization of advanced Wi-Fi transmission and reception mechanisms.  
• Development of novel enhanced algorithms based on IEEE 802.11 protocols.  
• Provide patentable and standardization-oriented solutions for implementation of new features in Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi/Cellular coexistence technologies.  
• Participate in IEEE and other relevant standards bodies associated with next generation Wi-Fi Technolgies to help drive advanced solutions to support Ofinno business needs.   
• Write and present technical contributions to standards bodies including IEEE 802.11  
• Supporting the entire patent process from start to end.  
• Interact with and present to clients.  
  
  

Qualifications 

You possess expert knowledge of communication theory and IEEE 802 standards related technologies such as wireless local area network (WLAN) Wi-Fi, 802.11ac/ax/be, 802.11ad/ay, multi-band, MIMO, Wi-Fi based positioning, and advanced spatial multiplexing mechanisms.  Specifically, you have:  

• Master's degree or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Science with 5+ years of research and development experience. 
• Extensive experience with 802.11(n, ac, ax, be) physical/MAC layer and cross layer design, including high-level architecture.  
• A proven track record of successful contributions to IEEE standards and activities  
• Develop physical/MAC layer protocols/procedures – channel access mechanism, MIMO, multi-band operation, multi-beam operation, positioning, power saving techniques.   
• Develop use cases and requirements for next generation Wi-Fi communications  
• Link-level/system-level simulation/optimization of wireless systems, protocol layer design, and network signaling  
• A proven record of patents related to WLAN/Wi-FI and unlicensed spectrum protocols/applications  
• Theoretical understanding of network performance, queuing analysis, and spectral efficiency.  Because we will be presenting and demonstrating our work internally and externally, we want you to be able to be a strong team player.
