The Role
As a Wireless Engineer at Meter, you'll design embedded systems for wireless challenges, develop advanced features, and ensure reliable connectivity for enterprise customers.
Summary Generated by Built In

At Meter, we believe enterprise connectivity should feel as effortless as consumer Wi-Fi. Wireless is the last mile of the network, and it defines the customer’s experience — how quickly they get online, how reliable their connection feels, and how confident they are in their infrastructure.

As a Wireless Platform Engineer, you’ll design and build the embedded systems and platform capabilities that power Meter’s wireless networks at scale. You’ll be hands-on with access points, gateways, and controllers — making sure our products scale reliably in real-world deployments while integrating advanced technologies like Zigbee and Bluetooth.

The impact you’ll drive

  • Build new platform initiatives like the Meter Gateway, bringing together access points, switches, controllers, LTE, GPS, and more into the backbone of our product.

  • Bring up new hardware platforms and work with hardware engineers on platform designs for upcoming platforms.

  • Design and implement core wireless platform features (device drivers, system services, protocol handling) that enable higher-level features and applications.

  • Ensure observability and diagnostics are built in from the start, empowering Meter teams and customers to troubleshoot with confidence.

  • Optimize for reliability and scalability, ensuring systems perform across thousands of sites in diverse environments.

What your craft looks like

  • Work directly with embedded devices and wireless stacks (802.11, LTE, GPS, Zigbee, Bluetooth).

  • Debug at the packet and driver level to deliver robust and performant wireless infrastructure.

  • Collaborate closely with firmware and hardware engineers to integrate platform features into Meter’s hardware.

  • Contribute to the design of scalable, maintainable systems that underpin customer-facing features.

What makes you a fit

  • Extensive board bring-up experience on platforms like ARM and x86.

  • Experience with wireless networking protocols (802.11) and embedded device development.

  • Strong debugging skills with packet captures, device drivers, and wireless performance issues.

  • Experience with Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) and implementing Secure Boot.

  • Proficiency in C/C++, familiarity with Golang a plus.

  • Knowledge of LTE, GPS, Zigbee, or Bluetooth is a strong plus.

  • A mindset of ownership and autonomy — motivated by building reliable wireless infrastructure at scale.


Why Meter?

The internet runs the world. Every purchase you make, video call you join, it's all packets flowing through networks. But those networks haven’t changed for decades. They’re brittle, complex, and surprisingly hard to set up in an enterprise space.

We started Meter to build better networks. We had to build everything from the ground-up: designing and building our own enterprise hardware, intuitive software, and streamlined operations to deliver great outcomes for our customers. Today, we build and deploy these networks at scale. Ambitious companies and enduring institutions like Bridgewater, Lyft, Reddit, rely on Meter to keep their thousands of employees and locations online and productive.

Our bet with Meter is simple: we will all use the internet more than we do today. We believe we have the definitive networking stack in place to enable business to do so as seamlessly and reliably as any modern utility.


Compensation

  • The estimated base salary for this role is between $200,000-$250,000

  • Additionally, this role is eligible to participate in Meter's equity plan.

What We Do

Our bet with Meter is simple: we’ll all use the internet more than we do today.

That future depends on networking infrastructure—the invisible plumbing powering every application, space, and data center. But today’s infrastructure is dated and inconsistent, so we’re rebuilding it from the ground up.

We design the hardware, write the firmware, build the software, deploy the networks, and run support.
It’s a single, integrated networking solution that scales from offices, warehouses, and large campuses to data centers—and today, it’s powering some of the world’s most ambitious organizations.

Why Work With Us

We’re a group of kind and ambitious people who want to do the best work of their career. The work we do across hardware, software, and operations is hard and long-term oriented. We are colleagues who view fast-paced and changing environments as an opportunity—not a bug—and find the agency to move things forward.
