From the original posting
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 hardware systems
Experience with applied cryptography and network security
Experience designing and implementing highly available and fault-tolerant distributed systems.
A highly reliable communication system is required in order to safely remove the pilot from onboard any aircraft. At Reliable, you will have the opportunity to build systems that span aircraft hardware, cloud infrastructure, and command centers to realize this vision.
