We are seeking a
Mission Engineer
to serve as the technical bridge between complex communications physics and our software orchestration layer.
Inspired by the SRE paradigm, Mission Engineering at Aalyria is a deeply hybrid role. You will combine the expertise of a
Wireless Systems Engineer
with the execution of a
Software Integration Engineer
. You will be responsible for ensuring that Spacetime’s system models are technically integrated, highly performant, and operationally resilient within live customer environments.
-
Build and maintain high-fidelity system models within Spacetime to orchestrate dynamic wireless communication networks.
Design and write production-ready "adapter layers" (primarily in Python or Go) to connect Spacetime with customer hardware.
Create and optimize data schemas (using Protobuf, JSON, gRPC) to map complex external network topologies.
Perform wireless communication system link budget analyses, wave propagation modeling, and coverage simulations.
Act as the tier-3 escalation lead for live networks, diagnosing and resolving complex system integration issues.
Work closely with the core Product and Software Engineering teams to translate custom integration patterns into reusable product features.
-
Strong software engineering fundamentals paired with a solid understanding of physical-layer communications.
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.
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 (GCP/AWS).
- Experience delivering high-stakes technical integrations for defense, aerospace, or commercial telecommunications enterprise clients.
-
Work at a cutting-edge company shaping the future of aerospace communications.
Directly contribute to critical national security programs and initiatives.
Expand your career with opportunities for professional development and advancement.
Be part of a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive workplace where your contributions matter.
Flexible working arrangements including hybrid remote/in-office schedules.
Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits (401(k), dental, vision, health, life insurance), paid time off, and equity options.
