About the Role

WiLAN is seeking a deeply technical, curious and versatile engineer with 5 to 15 years of experience to join our team. This role is ideal for a technical generalist with strong analytical instincts, someone who can move fluidly across domains like wireless, semiconductors, and software, and isn’t afraid to dive into unfamiliar technologies.

In this role, you’ll contribute to the development and licensing of WiLAN’s Intellectual Property portfolios while gaining a unique skill set at the intersection of engineering, intellectual property strategy and licensing. If you’re the kind of engineer who likes tearing things down, analyzing standards, and uncovering how products actually function, this role offers a unique path beyond traditional engineering.

Patent or Intellectual Property experience is a plus—but not required. We’re most interested in engineers who can think critically, learn quickly, and go deep technically.
