This capability will enable realistic evaluation of autonomy performance under contested and degraded network conditions and will be used across internal simulation environments, autonomy development loops, by test and QA teams for validation, and by external customers for mission rehearsal and evaluation. This role sits at the intersection of simulation, networking, and RF systems, and is critical to our ability to field robust autonomous systems in real-world operational environments.\nWhat you'll do:Lead the architecture and development of the network emulation layer within the simulation stack.Design, implement, and tune models for routing, environmental interference, noise, and radio signal characteristics.Evaluate and integrate third-party or open-source network emulation tools where appropriate.Collaborate closely with autonomy, comms, and systems simulation teams to define and integrate realistic network conditions into simulation loops.When not focused on simulation work, help design and build the EdgeOS Communications network library stack used in production systems.Required qualifications:Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.Typically requires a minimum of 10 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree; or 7 years and a Master’s degree; or 5 years with a PhD; or equivalent work experience.Proficient with C++ 11 or newer in a production environment.Experience in network emulation or network simulation tools (e.g., ns-3, EMANE, CORE, Mininet, or custom-built systems).Understanding of IP networking fundamentals, including TCP/UDP, routing, QoS, etc.Proven track record of end-to-end delivery of technical projects with high autonomy.Preferred qualifications:Experience modeling RF radios.Familiarity with C++17 or newer standards.Prior experience working with distributed simulation environments or large-scale simulation frameworks.Knowledge of Conan and CMake build systems.\n$180,000 - $270,000 a year\n#LI-KC3#LEFull-time regular employee offer package:Pay within range listed + Bonus + Benefits + EquityTemporary employee offer package:Pay within range listed above + temporary benefits package (applicable after 60 days of employment)Salary compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, licenses and certifications, and specific work location.
