Aalyria is a leading aerospace technology company specializing in laser communications and temporospatial software-defined networking platforms for satellite and airborne mesh networks, including cislunar and deep-space communications. The company acquired technology from Google and is revolutionizing the orchestration and management of planetary mesh networks across land, sea, air, and space.
We are seeking a Mission Engineer to serve as the technical bridge between complex communications physics and our software orchestration layer (Spacetime). This is a hybrid role combining wireless systems engineering expertise with software integration execution, inspired by the SRE paradigm.
Key responsibilities include:
• System Modeling: Build and maintain high-fidelity system models within Spacetime to orchestrate dynamic wireless communication networks.
• Software Integration: Design and write production-ready adapter layers (primarily in Python or Go) to connect Spacetime with customer hardware.
• Data Modeling: Create and optimize data schemas (using Protobuf, JSON, gRPC) to map complex external network topologies.
• Link Analysis: Perform wireless communication system link budget analyses, wave propagation modeling, and coverage simulations.
• Operations & Triage: Act as the tier-3 escalation lead for live networks, diagnosing and resolving complex system integration issues.
• Product Collaboration: Work closely with core Product and Software Engineering teams to translate custom integration patterns into reusable product features.
You will ensure that Spacetime's system models are technically integrated, highly performant, and operationally resilient within live customer environments. This role requires a deep understanding of both wireless communications physics and modern software engineering practices.
