Become a Force for Good at Axon.
At Axon, our mission is to Protect Life. We are innovators tackling the most urgent safety and justice challenges through our integrated suite of devices and cloud solutions. Collaboration is at the heart of our success; we foster open communication and diverse perspectives from our customers, communities, and one another.
Life at Axon is dynamic, demanding, and rewarding. Here, you will have the autonomy to make an impact and drive meaningful change. Embrace continuous growth as you contribute to a mission that truly matters in a company that values you.
Your Impact
As part of our team, you will be instrumental in creating the next generation of essential communication systems for public safety professionals around the globe. In the role of Senior Wireless Software Engineer, you will lead the design and implementation of wireless protocol stacks, transport abstraction layers, and real-time communication systems across our product ecosystem. You will work at the convergence of RF technologies, embedded systems, and cloud-connected software.
This is a hands-on technical role with significant architectural influence.
Work Location: This role can be based out of Axon's US hubs in Atlanta, Boston, Scottsdale (HQ), San Francisco, or Seattle, and follows a hybrid work schedule. We emphasize in-person collaboration, requiring team members to be onsite 4 days a week from Tuesday through Friday, with the option to work remotely on Mondays unless an approved accommodation is in place.

What You'll Do:
Your responsibilities will include addressing challenging wireless issues our products encounter: transforming research into robust, high-performance PHY/MAC systems; architecting firmware and toolchains that achieve demanding latency, power, and reliability benchmarks; and outlining a wireless roadmap that harmonizes innovation, manufacturability, and real-world performance. You will influence how our devices connect and perform at scale—from laboratory prototypes to deployed fleets—and your work will be evaluated based on real-world performance, not solely theoretical simulations. This role requires a strong understanding of RF principles alongside deep expertise in systems software, placing you at a critical juncture that defines the reliability and trustworthiness of our entire communication platform.
