• Developing and modifying Linux applications that implement the telecommunications functions required for our cell tower in orbit protocol stacks
• Integrating telecommunications hardware and software systems, particularly software defined radios and Linux servers/computers
• Implementing inter-application coordination and communications using standard Inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms available in Linux
• Developing test software and drivers to support unit, integration, and system testing of all telecommunications software functions

Job description

About Lynk:

Lynk is the inventor of satellite-direct-to-standard-phone (sat2phone) technology, and has the world’s only commercial license from the FCC to operate a commercial sat2phone system. We are growing rapidly, and our technology will enable all 8 billion people on the planet to stay connected with the existing standard phone in their pocket. Everywhere. No matter what.

By joining Lynk, you will have the opportunity to directly touch the lives of billions. Your mission will be to bring mobile broadband to billions, pull hundreds of millions out of poverty, and save countless lives.
