About The Position

As a Software Engineer at Lynk, you will be at the heart of designing, building, and operating the software that powers our satellites and ground network. You will join a team of world-class engineers tackling some of the most complex challenges in distributed systems, real-time software, and global-scale operations.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
2+ years of professional experience in software development.
Strong proficiency in an object-oriented language (e.g., C++, Python, Java, C#) and a deep understanding of OO design principles.
Experience building and debugging software (professional, internship, or complex academic projects).
Solid foundation in data structures, algorithms, and software design.
Excellent communication (written and verbal) and documentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex technical ideas clearly.
A highly collaborative, team-oriented, and positive approach to your work.

Nice To Haves

Professional experience with C++ and Python.
Experience building or operating highly available, distributed, and fault-tolerant systems.
Familiarity with networking concepts (like TCP/IP and UDP) and the principles of distributed systems.
Familiarity with CI/CD, test automation, simulation, or hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing.
Experience with modern monitoring, data analysis, and visualization tools.
Experience with Linux-based development environments.
A creative and analytical approach to problem-solving, built on strong engineering fundamentals.
Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment where requirements can evolve.
A passion for tackling complex problems and taking ownership from concept to completion.
Interest in or experience with networking, wireless protocols, or telecommunications (e.g., 2G/GSM, 4G/LTE) is a plus, but not required.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and deploy high-reliability, mission-critical software for our satellite and ground systems.
Take full ownership of the software lifecycle, from initial requirements and architecture to implementation, testing, and operational support.
Embrace and champion strong object-oriented (OO) design principles.
Develop and test prototypes to validate new design concepts and architectural decisions.
Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines for automated build, package, deployment, and testing.
Develop sophisticated simulation, emulation, and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) test environments to ensure system-wide integrity.
Participate in operations, including data analysis, system monitoring, and visualization.
Collaborate in architecture, design, and code reviews.
