Embedded Software Engineer

We’re seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Network and Communications Software Engineer to lead the development of advanced software solutions for tactical and military communication systems — including radio and satellite networks. Your work will enhance the communication performance of mission-adaptable aerial vehicles operating in demanding environments.

Responsibilities:

• Develop software to interface with tactical radios, communication modules, and satellite systems (low-level system software & high-level C2 interfaces)
• Configure and optimize datalinks using Interface Control Documents (ICDs) or reverse engineering as needed
• Build scalable Linux-based applications integrating with radio, satellite, and communication modules
• Develop robust, high-throughput services ensuring data integrity in diverse conditions
• Design and enhance APIs for modularity and easy integration within distributed architectures
• Optimize communication performance through RF engineering, antenna configuration, and system integration
• Ensure scalability and reliability of communication interfaces across airborne and ground systems
• Lead communication test plans and create reproducible environments for operational validation

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• 5+ years of software engineering experience with strong C++ and Linux expertise
• Background in RF systems, antenna design, and signal processing
• Experience with networking protocols (TCP, UDP, MQTT, REST, WebSockets, etc.)
• Familiarity with wireless communication standards (LTE, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Bluetooth, etc.)
• U.S. Citizenship (required for ITAR) and ability to obtain DoD clearance

Preferred:

• Master’s degree in related field
• Experience interpreting ICDs, developing APIs/SDKs, and working with MAVLink or SDRs
• Hands-on with satellite communication systems, mesh networks, and real-time systems
• Knowledge of RF modulation, phased arrays, and MIMO systems
• Experience in Agile, CI/CD, and DevOps environments
