Open RAN silicon and firmware for power-efficient 5G base stations
GreenWave Radios designs RF system-on-chip (SoC) hardware and embedded firmware for Open RAN base stations, with the Hermes64 SoC as the core product. The tech stack—ARM, Embedded Linux, Yocto, Xilinx, and lower-PHY firmware tools—reflects a deep hardware-software integration play typical of radio SoC vendors. Active hiring is concentrated in senior and lead engineering roles across embedded systems and device drivers, indicating they're scaling specific technical expertise rather than broad headcount.
GreenWave Radios (trading as InnoPhase Inc.) manufactures purpose-built silicon and firmware for Open RAN-based active antenna arrays. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Diego, the company operates four R&D facilities globally with over 100 engineers. The product line centers on the Hermes64 RF SoC, which addresses two customer pain points: reducing operational expenses and improving network energy efficiency in 5G infrastructure. Current project work spans Linux BSP development, lower-PHY firmware, device driver implementation, and system integration and verification across Open RAN cellular base station platforms.
The Hermes64 RF SoC—a system-on-chip designed for Open RAN-based active antenna arrays in 5G base stations, focused on power efficiency and operational cost reduction.
C++, Python, ARM architecture, Embedded Linux (Yocto, PetaLinux, OpenEmbedded), Xilinx FPGA tools, O-RAN standards, and firmware development tools (Keysight ADS, Cadence AWR, GDB, Valgrind).
Yes—7 active roles, all in engineering. Focus is on senior and lead engineers across embedded systems, firmware, and device driver development. Hiring in India.
