Senior Software Engineer, Networking and OS

You will design and build resilient Layer 2 and Layer 3 network topologies for V-BAT mission profiles. You will implement embedded Linux networking features, low-latency communication paths, network interfaces, traffic shaping, and link failover mechanisms. You will validate network performance with software, hardware, and field operators in hardware-in-the-loop and flight-test environments.

Responsibilities

• Design and build resilient Layer 2 and Layer 3 network topologies
• Implement networking features on embedded Linux operating systems
• Build bandwidth-optimized, low-latency communication paths over constrained links
• Write C, C++, or Python software for network interfaces, traffic shaping, and link failover
• Validate end-to-end network performance in hardware-in-the-loop labs and flight-test environments

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree with 5+ years of relevant experience, Master's degree with 4+ years, or PhD with 2+ years
• Proficiency in C, C++, or Python in a Linux environment
• Experience shipping software that interacts with the OS networking stack
