Field Solutions Engineer, Spacetime Integrations

Aalyria

6h • Hybrid

About The Position

Aalyria’s Spacetime platform orchestrates highly dynamic aerospace networks, computing and enforcing connectivity across steerable RF/optical links, satellites, ground systems, and mission networks. The company is looking for a Solutions Engineer with a strong “Field Engineer” mindset: someone who can drive customer onboarding end-to-end, build custom integrations/adapters, and also show up on-site to bring systems to life in labs, test ranges, and operational environments. This role blends customer-facing engineering, systems integration, and hands-on software development. You’ll partner closely with Product and Core Engineering while working directly with customer and partner engineers and operators.

Requirements

• U.S. person and eligible to obtain a U.S. SECRET security clearance (or higher).
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
• 4+ years in customer-facing technical roles (Solutions Engineering, Forward Deployed Engineering, Field Engineering, Technical Integration Engineering, Systems Engineering, or similar).
• Strong software development experience in one or more languages (e.g., Go, Python, Java, C++) and a track record shipping production-quality integration code (tests, reliability, documentation).
• Experience integrating distributed systems via APIs and protocols (REST/gRPC, messaging, authn/authz), plus comfort debugging across network boundaries.
• Hands-on ability in Linux environments and modern deployment patterns (containers, Kubernetes, CI/CD).

Nice To Haves

• Active U.S. SECRET clearance (or higher).
• Experience with networking / infrastructure platforms (routing/switching concepts, SDN/traffic engineering, network telemetry/observability).
• Experience integrating telecom, satellite, aerospace, or defense systems (terminals/modems, gateways, NMS/OSS/BSS, mission networks).
• Experience with system bring-up practices: lab/test equipment, scripted provisioning, configuration management, and acceptance testing.
• Strong written communication skills for producing customer-ready ICDs, runbooks, and deployment documentation.

Responsibilities

• Lead technical onboarding for new customers: discovery, environment mapping, integration plans, and “day-1” working connectivity.
• Design and implement custom integrations/adapters that connect customer and partner hardware/software to Spacetime (e.g., terminals/modems/radios, gateways, mission systems, OSS/BSS, telemetry/monitoring).
• Own end-to-end proofs-of-integration and field demos: lab bring-up, on-site troubleshooting, performance validation, and operator-ready runbooks.
• Debug complex issues across software, networks, and hardware interfacesoften in constrained, real-world environments where logs are imperfect and time matters.
• Partner with Core Engineering to productize repeatable integration patterns into reusable frameworks, SDKs, schemas, and deployment templates.
• Create crisp technical artifacts: integration specs, gRPC/protobuf APIs, deployment guides, and reference architectures.
• Provide technical leadership during early operations: serve as an escalation point, coordinate incident response during critical milestones, and close the loop with engineering fixes.

Benefits

• Innovative Environment: Work at a cutting-edge company shaping the future of aerospace communications.
• Impactful Work: Directly contribute to critical national security programs and initiatives.
• Growth Opportunities: Expand your career with opportunities for professional development and advancement.
• Inclusive Culture: Be part of a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace where your contributions matter.
• Flexibility: Flexible working arrangements including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
• Compensation and Equity: Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits (401(k), dental, vision, health, life insurance), paid time off, and equity options.
