Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in network modeling, emulation, and protocol design.
• Proficiency in network performance monitoring and optimization.
• Familiarity with radio communications concepts, including software-defined radios, MAC protocols, physical layer, and RF systems.
• Experience in military or DoD wireless communications systems.

Others:

• Clearance: Interim clearance is sufficient for start.
• Work Location: This position will be hybrid with expectations to be one day/wk onsite. There may be certain test events that would require someone to be onsite a few days/wk for 1-2 weeks of testing.

Interview process: initial zoom screening and then second round would be onsite interviews. They would consider candidates for second round zoom if they are relocating but local candidates should expect to come onsite.
