Cybersecurity Engineer

Lead the design, development, and end-to-end ownership of custom wireless MAC protocols optimized for high-velocity LEO satellite communications, including inter-satellite, space-to-ground, and ground-to-space links. Design and implement advanced resource allocation, scheduling, QoS, and interference mitigation algorithms leveraging principles from 3GPP LTE/5G, IEEE 802.11 (Wi-Fi), and IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) technologies. Architect and optimize high-performance packet processing dataplanes using DPDK, VPP, or similar frameworks to deliver low-latency and high-throughput networking solutions. Collaborate closely with PHY, RF, FPGA, and hardware engineering teams to define software-hardware interfaces and ensure seamless integration across the wireless communication stack. Drive technical architecture decisions and define the roadmap for next-generation wireless networking solutions, balancing latency, reliability, throughput, and spectral efficiency requirements. Lead system design reviews, technology evaluations, and trade-off analyses to optimize overall network performance in dynamic satellite environments. Develop simulation, modeling, and performance analysis methodologies to validate protocol designs and assess system behavior under varying operating conditions. Drive software quality through architecture reviews, code reviews, debugging, performance optimization, and adherence to engineering best practices. Mentor senior and staff engineers, providing technical leadership and fostering excellence in wireless systems and embedded software development. Partner with cross-functional teams to translate product requirements into scalable and reliable wireless networking solutions.
