Software Engineer

We are looking for a motivated Software Engineer to join the development of a mission-critical data gateway. The system serves as an intermediary that ingests real-time telemetry and proprietary sensor data from remote platforms and dispatches it to centralized data centers while managing live video streaming. This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer with strong core programming skills to work on high-performance networking and real-time data integration projects.

2. Role Responsibilities

• Feature Development: Assist in implementing a comprehensive Real-Time HTTPS API for specialized sensor data (AIS, EPIRB, gas measurements) and automated reporting.

• Network Integration: Support the development of asynchronous UDP listeners to process standardized metadata formats and proprietary data streams.

• Video Streaming Support: Help refine a video engine using FFmpeg to support compliant H.264 streams with embedded metadata, maintaining low-latency requirements.

• System Reliability: Implement standardized "self-healing" logic, such as automated reconnection policies and data transmission frequency controls.

• Operator Interface: Contribute to a web-based dashboard for real-time monitoring and configuration of stream parameters like bitrate and resolution.

4. Project Milestones & Deliverables

You will work alongside the lead developer to achieve full system interfacing, including:

1. Service Implementation: Developing logic for telemetry, flight status, and sensor-specific webservices.
2. Testing & Documentation: Assisting in the collection of test evidence and log analysis to validate system integration.
3. Acceptance Preparation: Ensuring the gateway meets performance stability and data integrity standards during system acceptance testing.
