About The Position
We are seeking a Mission Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between complex communications physics and our software orchestration layer. Inspired by the SRE paradigm, Mission Engineering at Aalyria is a deeply hybrid role. You will combine the expertise of a Wireless Systems Engineer with the execution of a Software Integration Engineer. You will be responsible for ensuring that Spacetime’s system models are technically integrated, highly performant, and operationally resilient within live customer environments.
Requirements
- Strong software engineering fundamentals paired with a solid understanding of physical-layer communications.
- Hands-on software development experience and comfort passing an entry-level SWE coding assessment.
- Experience with wireless communication systems, including RF path loss, propagation, network topology, and link budgets.
- Practical experience developing or working with system/network simulation and modeling tools.
- B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, typically backed by 3+ years of professional engineering experience.
Nice To Haves
- Experience with software-defined networking (SDN), BGP, or cloud infrastructure environments (GCP/AWS).
- Experience delivering high-stakes technical integrations for defense, aerospace, or commercial telecommunications enterprise clients.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain high-fidelity system models within Spacetime to orchestrate dynamic wireless communication networks.
- Design and write production-ready "adapter layers" (primarily in Python or Go) to connect Spacetime with customer hardware.
- Create and optimize data schemas (using Protobuf, JSON, gRPC) to map complex external network topologies.
- Perform wireless communication system link budget analyses, wave propagation modeling, and coverage simulations.
- Act as the tier-3 escalation lead for live networks, diagnosing and resolving complex system integration issues.
- Work closely with the core Product and Software Engineering teams to translate custom integration patterns into reusable product features.
Benefits
- Competitive salary
- comprehensive benefits (401(k), dental, vision, health, life insurance)
- paid time off
- equity options
