About the role

As a Staff Engineer on the AirLink System Engineering team, you'll serve as a key technical authority on our wireless router platforms.
This role is built for a problem solver at heart - someone who thrives on diagnosing complex, real-world issues with existing systems and tracking down root causes that others can't find.
You'll bring a methodical, systems-level mindset to the most challenging networking issues our customers face, owning investigations end-to-end from replication through resolution.

Serve as the technical escalation point from complex requests from sales and field support teams, providing authoritative guidance on platform behavior, configuration options, and scripted solutions tailored to real customer environments
Contribute to system-level design and feature requirement reviews ahead of new platform releases, bringing your field deployment experience and customer knowledge to bear on ensuring new features are practical, robust, and aligned with how our products are actually used
Maintain thorough, well-organized documentation in Jira and Confluence - capturing troubleshooting methodologies, implemented workarounds, bug reports, and platform operational insights that strengthen the team's collective knowledge base
Partner with internal customer-facing teams to gather and communicate critical information on customer issues and requests, actively contributing to a stronger, more capable support organization
Self-motivated; ability to work independently or in small teams and drive issues to resolution without constant direction

5+ years of Linux system experience with proficiency in shell scripting (bash and Python), configuring firewalls (iptables & nftables), cron jobs, and analyzing IP packet captures
5+ years of networking experience with deep understanding of networking concepts and protocols including IPv4/v6, TCP/UDP, NAT, DHCP, SNMP, PPP, VPN (IPsec, MOBIKE, OpenVPN), BGP, and OSPF
Incumbents may be required to perform job-related tasks other than those specifically included in this description.

A reasonable estimate of the pay range for this position is CAD $95,000 - $128,000.

Semtech's AirLink Router System Engineering team is a high-performing technical group embedded within the router engineering organization, giving us direct access to the product development engineers who build our platforms from the ground up.
We sit at the intersection of deep engineering and real-world deployment - translating complex field challenges into product improvements and delivering engineering-level expertise to our customer-facing teams.
Own the end-to-end investigation of field-reported issues across the AirLink wireless router platform family - replicating problems in-house, identifying root causes, engaging development teams to drive corrective action, and developing practical workarounds to keep customers operational in the interim
