More about this role

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.

  • 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...
