Wireless Embedded Systems Engineer for High-Throughput Applications

Contexte et atouts du poste

The engineer will be working in the Inria-AIO team ( at Sorbonne University. The Inria-Paris center is located at the heart of Paris, in the 13th arrondissement.

Mission confiée

We are looking for an ambitious engineer for a fixed-term contract to work on wireless embedded systems for high-throughput applications. The position will start near 1-June 2026.

The objective of this position is to design and experimentally validate crystal-free embedded systems capable of supporting high data-rate wireless applications. In particular, the work will focus on programming and optimization of a crystal-free embedded research platform, as well as system-level validation under realistic wireless conditions.

A key aspect of the work will be the investigation of over-the-air audio streaming in the presence of wireless interference, with the goal of understanding system limitations and proposing robust communication strategies.

Another important component of the work will be the development of strategies for calibration and over-the-air compensation of free-running oscillators, enabling reliable communication without precise frequency references.

The engineer will work at the interface of embedded systems, wireless communications, and experimental platform development, with a strong emphasis on real-world validation.
