## Description

Trideum Corporation is seeking a highly capable Software Integration & Middleware Engineer to design, develop, and sustain high-performance middleware components supporting a complex, multi-system Army simulation environment. This engineer will play a critical role in bridging the Digital Engineering (DE) Environment with Government-developed systems such as OneSAF and communications and network models, enabling real-time interoperability, deterministic data exchange, and scalable distributed simulation., * Develop, package, and maintain software bridges that translate, route, and synchronize data among federated systems.

 * Work with the systems engineering team to translate SE artifacts and SysML diagrams into running applications.
 * Build and refine protocol adapters supporting C++, Python, DDS, ZeroMQ, gRPC, and related real-time communication frameworks.
 * Investigate and implement network throttling and shaping interfaces, including TAP/TUN virtual devices, tc/NetEm queuing disciplines, and SDN-based routing constructs.
 * Integrate middleware modules with virtualized DE Environment components, including virtual EUDs, ATAK-based applications, UAS controllers, and tactical routers.
 * Ensure low-latency, high-throughput message brokering across simulation environments while maintaining reliability and compliance with interface standards.
 * Develop automated tests and CI pipelines to validate performance, protocol compliance, and interoperability across OneSAF, DE, and CJSIL interfaces.
 * Troubleshoot distributed simulation behaviors and resolve complex issues involving middleware logic, network emulation, and real-time data serialization.
 * Collaborate with Government engineering teams to refine interface definitions, coordinate integration timelines, and support multi-lab test events.
 * Minimal travel required
