DSP silicon and software for wireless baseband and media processing
Octasic designs and manufactures DSP processors and embedded software for carrier, enterprise, and endpoint communication equipment. The company is heavily weighted toward engineering roles (10 of 13 active hires) with a senior-heavy seniority mix, and is actively recruiting interns — a pattern typical of embedded systems companies ramping production and onboarding talent for hardware validation cycles. Current project focus spans 5G integration, RF product architecture, and software validation, while supply-chain and production-planning challenges dominate their stated pain points.
Octasic develops baseband DSP silicon and software for wireless and media processing applications. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Montreal with offices in Cyprus and India, the company serves carriers, enterprises, and equipment manufacturers with multi-core DSP solutions built on their Opus asynchronous architecture. The product portfolio includes VoIP, HD video, and multi-standard wireless basestation processors supporting CDMA, UMTS, LTE, WCDMA, and Wi-Fi. Their engineering and manufacturing operations are concentrated in Canada, where most hiring is currently occurring.
