- 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.).
