Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
As a System Architect - Networking, you will be responsible for designing the overall SDN/packet routing solution for our LEO network. In this role, you will leverage your 12+years of hands-on experience developing and designing routing, switching and SDN solution for SATCOM/Service provider networks.
What you'll be doing:
- Design blueprint of E-Space’s SATCOM network mesh involving satellite and ground infrastructure
- Apply traffic engineering principles for defining satellite-ground network routing, performance, scalability, reliability and QoS.
- Use simulation using tools like ns-3 to understand challenges and design solutions
- Own the overall solution specification and be the SME for routing solution.
- Work closely with Engineering, Operations and other stakeholders to define and integrate the solution for observability and management.
- Evaluate and recommend respective vendors and Open-source NOS/SDN capabilities for E-Space network.
- Help grow the network engineering team.
What you'll bring to this role:
- Minimum bachelor's degree in computer science or other related engineering discipline with 12+ years of hands-on relevant experience
- Innovation driven networking expert with relevant and proven system engineering/R&D experience.
- Hands on experience designing solutions for SATCOM/Telco network.
- Hands on with leading open-source NOS/Router/SDN implementations (e.g.SONiC, VyOS, freeRtr, ONOS, ODL) and excellent knowledge of Linux networking fundamentals/DPDK.
- Experience with network simulation tools
- Practical knowledge of SDN applications, IP peering, intra/inter domain routing, source routing and corresponding leading vendor solutions.
- Very good knowledge of routing protocols and technology including BGP, OSPF, ISIS, EVPN, VXLAN, MPLS, overlay networking and IPv6.
- Programming skills in more than one language - C/C++/Python/Go
Extra bonus points for the following:
- Experience designing Routing/SDN solution for 5G based terrestrial/satellite networks
- Experience with Arm compute platforms
- Experience in a startup environment
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Arlington, TX office.
The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
