  • Develop and maintain networking protocols and software for embedded Linux, cloud, and lab environments.

  • Ensure the reliability and performance of network systems in terrestrial and space applications.

  • Implement and manage containerized services for network operations.

  • Provide feedback on architecture, design, and code to ensure software systems meet requirements.

  • Contribute to the instrumentation and optimization of communication software.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience in developing software for Linux-based systems.

  • Expertise in C++, C, and/or Python.

  • Experience with GNURadio.

  • Strong knowledge of networking protocols (TCP, UDP, etc.).

  • Experience with software-defined radios (SDRs) and RF technologies.

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.).

  • Proven ability to write production-quality code.

  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to interact with customers and cross-functional teams effectively.

  • Knowledge of digital signal processing and embedded systems.

  • Formal education in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
