Job summary

Cowboy Space Corp. is building the orbital infrastructure required for an on‑demand space economy. We seek a Space Datacenter Networking Engineer to design the high‑performance fabric for in‑orbit accelerators and the payload interfaces to ground systems.

You will own topology, performance targets, fault isolation, and recovery strategies, and you will prove behavior with representative workloads and injected faults in a lab setting. This role is based in San Carlos, CA.

Qualifications

• 5+ years designing or operating high‑performance AI, HPC, storage, or low‑latency networks.
• Deep experience with InfiniBand, RoCE, high‑performance Ethernet, or a comparable compute fabric.
• Strong understanding of topology, congestion control, collective communication, failure domains, and telemetry.
• Hands‑on experience configuring, benchmarking, and debugging network hardware.
• Proficiency in Python or another language used for test automation and telemetry analysis.
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Own topology, protocols, addressing, routing, performance targets, and failure domains for Space Datacenter networks.
• Select and integrate switches, adapters, interconnects, cabling, and management components.
• Model and measure collective performance, congestion, latency, availability, and workload sensitivity.
• Define management and diagnostic paths that remain available through compute‑fabric failures.
• Build telemetry that identifies marginal links and components before they fail.
• Develop isolation, rerouting, and graceful‑degradation behavior with firmware and software teams.
• Build representative test fabrics, automate validation, inject faults, and lead root‑cause analysis.
• Define spacecraft and ground interfaces and qualify critical components for the mission environment.
