Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL)
Space-based Network Systems Engineer
Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), Laurel, Maryland, United States, 20724
Description
Are you a computer networking scientist or engineer interested in shaping the future of space-based networked constellations? Join our team at APL and help architect the next generation of space-based networks in near-Earth, cislunar, and deep space. As a space-based network systems engineer, you will collaborate with sponsors to develop space networking architectures, conduct technical analysis of emerging protocols, and contribute to the construction of networking simulation and emulation environments to assess new technologies. If you have a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering and 5+ years of relevant experience, we encourage you to apply.Your primary responsibility will be to work with our sponsors to develop space networking architectures, to include the technical analysis of emerging networking protocols and standards.You will contribute to the constructions of networking simulation and emulation environments to collect metrics, demonstrate benefits, and assess new technologies for our sponsors.You will collaborate with a variety of sponsors and experts in the field of computer networking and help craft the protocols, standards, and implementations that will make our nation's space-based networking aspirations a reality.You will become part of a team of flight software engineers, spacecraft systems engineers, and data system engineers passionately working towards the exploration of our solar system.Qualifications
Possess a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Electrical or Computer Engineering, or related field.Have 5+ years of experience engineering computer networking software and/or networked software applications.Have an understanding of the technical details of modern networking and transport protocols (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, UDP, TCP, QUIC), network management protocols (NETCONF, RESTCONF), and security protocols (IPSec, TLS).Have demonstrated experience delivering and deploying embedded software solutions to operational systems.Have working knowledge of agile methodology, techniques, and frameworks to deliver software solutions.Good interpersonal skills - capable of working independently or collaboratively on a team.Good written and oral communication skills.Hold an active Top Secret security clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
