Software Engineer, Communication Systems

We're building safety-enhancing technology for aviation that will save lives. Automated aviation systems will enable a future where air transportation is safer, more convenient and fundamentally transformative to the way goods — and eventually people — move around the planet. We are a team of mission-driven engineers with experience across aerospace, robotics and self-driving cars working to make this future a reality.

As a Communication Systems Software Engineer, you will be a part of the team responsible for building the systems that enable a robust, highly reliable data link between the remote pilot and aircraft. You’ll develop software products running in both bare-metal and Linux environments across the aircraft, control center, and cloud. Your work will directly enable the integration of uncrewed aircraft into the National Airspace System.

Responsibilities

• Architect, implement, and verify core link management algorithms for traffic shaping, network performance monitoring, and failover/contingency management
• Drive integration of complex third-party hardware and software systems into the Reliable Robotics autonomy platform.
• Integrate applied cryptography and network security best practices to protocol design and endpoint architecture
• Deploy and debug latency-sensitive software at all layers of the software stack, from embedded systems all the way up to the application layer

Basic Success Criteria

• B.S. Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience
• 2+ years systems-level programming experience in C++ or Rust
• Professional experience developing software for high-performance networking or cloud applications

Preferred Criteria

• Practical industry experience with Linux, including system-level programming, containerization, concurrency, and networking
• Fluency with networking concepts such as UDP/IP, routing, and session management protocols
• Prior experience designing, testing, or interfacing with RF hardwar
