• Software Integration: Design and write production-ready "adapter layers" (primarily in Python or Go) to connect Spacetime with customer hardware.
• Data Modeling: Create and optimize data schemas (using Protobuf, JSON, gRPC) to map complex external network topologies.
• Link Analysis: Perform wireless communication system link budget analyses, wave propagation modeling, and coverage simulations.
• Operations & Triage: Act as the tier-3 escalation lead for live networks, diagnosing and resolving complex system integration issues.
• Product Collaboration: Work closely with the core Product and Software Engineering teams to translate custom integration patterns into reusable product features.

• Hybrid Technical DNA: Strong software engineering fundamentals paired with a solid understanding of physical-layer communications.
• Coding Proficiency: Hands-on software development experience and comfort passing an entry-level SWE coding assessment.
• Wireless Systems Foundations: Experience with wireless communication systems, including RF path loss, propagation, network topology, and link budgets.
• System Modeling Expertise: Practical experience developing or working with system/network simulation and modeling tools.
• Professional Experience: B.S. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent practical experience, typically backed by 3+ years of professional engineering experience.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with software-defined networking (SDN), BGP, or cloud infrastructure environments (Google Cloud Platform/AWS).
• Experience delivering high-stakes technical integrations for defense, aerospace, or commercial telecommunications enterprise clients., * U.S. citizen or national
