📋 Description

• Design and optimize the full communication stack that keeps fleets of unmanned systems coordinated in real time. • Physically configure and validate tactical radios, integrate communications hardware into unmanned platforms, and ensure reliable connectivity. • Collaborate closely with autonomy and AI engineers to ensure networking becomes a force multiplier for mission planning, dynamic task allocation, and swarm-level decision-making. • Perform physical bring-up, configuration, and validation of tactical radios. • Configure RF link parameters to achieve reliable connectivity. • Establish and validate communication links based on different hardware configurations. • Design and implement software-defined networking features for constrained networks. • Debug RF and physical layer issues including interference and connectivity loss. • Author and maintain field networking runbooks and documentation for exercises and live events.

🎯 Requirements

• 3+ years of professional experience in networking, communications engineering, or distributed systems. • Expertise in OSI/TCP/IP stack, multicast/unicast, and routing protocols. • Hands-on experience physically configuring and troubleshooting radios and RF links — not limited to software or API integration. • Experience with wireless/RF networking (mesh, ad hoc, MANET) including behavior under degraded or contested conditions. • Experience with satellite communications (Starlink, SATCOM) and cellular networks (LTE/5G) in field or operational environments. • Familiarity with tactical data protocols and systems such as Cursor-on-Target (CoT), TAK (ATAK/WinTAK), and TAK Server — including setup, configuration, and integration with networked platforms. • Ability to bring up a radio-to-host communication link from scratch, including hardware connections, IP configuration, and multi-device static routing across heterogeneous platforms. • Working knowledge of pub-sub middleware internals — understanding what goes on the wire, why, and how to reason about routing decisions relative to network state. • Proficiency in Python and/or C++ for protocol design, scripting, and field automation. • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain a clearance.
