RAIN RFID platform connecting physical items to enterprise applications
Impinj is a public RFID platform company (NASDAQ: PI) using RAIN wireless technology to tag and track physical items—apparel, parts, logistics, assets—at enterprise scale. The tech stack reflects a hardware-software hybrid: embedded Linux, C/C++, ARM, plus data science (PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) for signal processing and RF modeling. Hiring is heavily engineering-focused with 7 active roles in that department, concentrated at the intern and principal levels—a pattern that suggests either on-boarding new talent at scale or staffing specialized RF/algorithm work.
Impinj operates a RAIN RFID platform that wirelessly connects physical objects to business applications for inventory, asset tracking, and shipment verification. The company sells to enterprises and OEM partners across manufacturing, retail, and logistics. Engineering work spans reader chip design, embedded system performance, RF propagation modeling, and proof-of-concept deployments. Active projects center on scaling RFID solutions, prototyping new algorithmic approaches to signal processing, and supporting partners in bringing RFID applications to market. Current challenges include growing revenue in China, building reader chip design wins, and simplifying deployment complexity for enterprise customers.
Embedded Linux, C/C++, ARM, MQTT, Kafka, Python, PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, Ansys HFSS for RF simulation, plus Salesforce and Epic Systems for enterprise integrations.
