Wireless baseband and media processing silicon, software and geolocation systems
Octasic builds DSP-based wireless and media processing products, and its job posts point to vehicular and airborne geolocation and search-and-rescue systems. Hiring is heavily engineering-weighted at mid and senior levels, with repeated focus on validation, automated testing and CI/CD (Jenkins, pytest, Playwright). Reverse-engineering tools like Ghidra, IDA Pro and Frida, plus Rust adoption, suggest growing security work.
Notable leadership hires: Functional Testing Lead
Octasic is a privately held Montreal company founded in 1998 that provides silicon and software for wireless baseband and media processing. Its products serve carrier, enterprise and end-point communication equipment makers, spanning voice, video and multi-standard cellular basestation designs from CDMA and UMTS through LTE and 5G. The company has 201–500 employees, with offices in Cyprus and India. Current hiring is concentrated in Canada and centers on engineering, with smaller needs in manufacturing, marketing, research and sales.
Octasic works in C++, Python, Rust, Java and C# on Embedded Linux and RTOS, with Jenkins, pytest and Playwright for testing, Grafana, Prometheus and Loki for monitoring, and LTE, 5G and UMTS radio standards.
Yes. Engineering dominates Octasic's open roles, mostly at mid and senior levels in Canada, with emphasis on validation, test automation and CI/CD, plus a Functional Testing Lead role.
Job posts point to vehicular and airborne geolocation systems, evolution of its geolocation product line, RF product architecture, search-and-rescue solutions, and security checks in its pipelines.
