Responsibilities
· Design, develop, integrate, and support production-quality embedded and
network software for commercial and government communication systems,
applications, and products.
· Own significant software components from architecture and design through
implementation, integration, test, deployment, and sustaining engineering.
· Develop high-performance software and services in C/C++, with additional
development in languages such as Python as appropriate.
· Design and implement software for Linux-based embedded and RTOS
platforms, including multithreaded and event-driven applications, system
services, device interfaces, and network applications.
· Develop and troubleshoot networking functionality involving IPv4/IPv6, TCP,
UDP, routing, DNS, DHCP, NAT, VPNs, and other IP networking
technologies.
· Analyze packet flows and diagnose complex system and network issues using
tools such as Wireshark, tcpdump, and Linux networking utilities.
· Optimize applications, protocols, and algorithms for operation across wireless,
cellular, satellite, and other variable or constrained network environments.
· Collaborate with systems, hardware, firmware, test, and network engineers to
define interfaces, architectures, and end-to-end solutions.
· Investigate difficult field and system-level problems, identify root causes, and
drive solutions through production deployment.
· Participate in architecture and design reviews and contribute to software
engineering best practices, including code reviews, automated testing, CI/CD,
and configuration management.
· Provide technical guidance and mentorship to less-experienced engineers while
contributing directly to software development.
· Communicate technical trade-offs, status, risks, and recommendations clearly to
engineering teams and stakeholders.
Basic Requirements
· Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical
Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
· 5+ years of professional software development experience, with
approximately 5 years of experience preferred for this role.
· Strong software development experience in C and/or C++.
· Professional experience developing software for embedded Linux or RTOS
environments.
· Solid understanding of computer networking, including IP, TCP, UDP, sockets,
and common networking protocols.
· Experience designing, debugging, and maintaining multithreaded, concurrent,
or real-time software systems.
· Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, including data
structures, algorithms, object-oriented design, operating systems, and
software architecture.
· Experience debugging complex software and system-level issues using source-
level debuggers, logs, packet captures, and other diagnostic tools.
Preferred Qualifications
· Experience developing software for routers, gateways, modems, wireless
devices, telecommunications equipment, or other networked embedded
platforms.
· Strong understanding of Linux networking, including routing, interfaces,
VLANs, bridging, firewalling, and network configuration.
· Experience with wireless communications technologies such as cellular, Wi-Fi,
satellite, or other RF/networking systems.
· Experience with embedded Linux build environments, development toolchains,
cross-compilation, and hardware/software integration.
· Familiarity with Yocto, Buildroot, OpenWrt, or similar embedded Linux
environments.
· Experience with networking software and technologies such as VPNs,
tunneling, QoS, and advanced routing libraries.
· Experience developing interfaces to hardware and peripherals using
technologies such as UART, SPI, I²C, USB, Ethernet, or PCIe.
· Familiarity with modern development practices and tools including Git, CI/CD,
automated testing, static analysis, and issue tracking.
· Experience developing software for systems requiring high availability,
reliability, security, or operation in constrained network environments.
· Exposure to containerized applications, cloud-connected edge systems,
telemetry, or device-management platforms.
· Experience working with communications systems for commercial,
government, aerospace, or defense applications.
· Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex
technical concepts clearly.
· Self-directed, collaborative engineer who can take ownership of challenging
technical problems and drive them to resolution.
