IoT / Edge Software Engineer

The IoT Edge Software Engineer is responsible for the design, development, deployment, and maintenance of edge software components that enable secure, reliable, and scalable integration between field-deployed dosimeter devices, gateways, and cloud environment. This role is central to the modernization of client’s radiation exposure management, focusing on the implementation and optimization of AWS Greengrass-based IoT gateway solutions, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device communication, and secure data transmission protocols. The engineer works closely with system architects, backend/API engineers, and operational stakeholders to ensure that edge software components support real-time dosimeter data ingestion, device management, firmware updates, and operational status monitoring in compliance with cybersecurity and privacy requirements. The IoT Edge Software Engineer is responsible for developing and maintaining software modules that run on Linux-based gateway hardware, supporting features such as device authentication, data encryption, remote updates, and automated diagnostics. The position requires hands-on experience with embedded Linux, MQTT messaging, and integration with AWS IoT Core, as well as the ability to troubleshoot and optimize edge-to-cloud workflows for performance, reliability, and security. The engineer ensures that all edge software is auditable, maintainable, and aligned with the mission-critical needs of operational communities, supporting both connected and disconnected operational scenarios. This role is essential for delivering a robust, secure, and resilient edge computing infrastructure that enables client to provide accurate, timely, and actionable radiation exposure data across enterprise., Design, develop, and maintain edge software modules for IoT gateways, supporting BLE dosimeter communication, device management, and secure data transmission Implement and optimize AWS Greengrass components for deployment on Linux-based gateway hardware Develop and maintain secure device authentication, data encryption, and remote firmware update capabilities Integrate edge software with AWS IoT Core, MQTT messaging, and cloud services Support real-time and batch data ingestion workflows, including handling of disconnected operations and automated re-synchronization Collaborate with backend, security, and DevSecOps teams to ensure compliance with DoD IL4, FedRAMP, and RMF requirements Troubleshoot, optimize, and enhance edge software performance, reliability, and security Maintain comprehensive technical documentation for edge software components, deployment procedures, and operational workflows Participate in code reviews, security assessments, and compliance audits as required by contract and SOW Provide technical support for field deployment, user acceptance testing, and ongoing operations of edge solutions
