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 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. This position requires access to information that is subject to U.S. export controls. An offer of employment will be contingent upon the applicant’s capacity to perform in compliance with U.S. export control laws. All applicants are asked to provide documentation that legally establishes status as a U.S. person or non-U.S. person (and nationalities in the case of a non-U.S. person). Where the applicant is not a U.S. person, meaning not a (i) U.S. citizen or national, (ii) U.S. lawful permanent resident, (iii) refugee under 8 U.S.C. § 1157, or (iv) asylee under 8 U.S.C. § 1158, or not otherwise permitted to access the export-controlled technology without U.S. government authorization, the Company reserves the right not to apply for an export license for such applicants whose access to export-controlled technology or software source code requires authorization and may decline to proceed with the application process and any offer of employment on that basis. At Reliable Robotics, our goal is to be a diverse and inclusive workforce.
