Descrizione del lavoro

Leaf Space is hiring a Software Network Engineer to design, implement, secure, and optimize the networking software stack for a resilient mesh network across a satellite constellation.

You will work on SDN‑based control frameworks, routing, link‑management, and secure end‑to‑end communication from PHY to application layers, collaborating with RF, DSP, FPGA, and SW teams. Hybrid work is supported in Lomazzo, Italy.

Competenze

• Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience in networking software development for distributed, embedded or real‑time systems.
• Strong expertise in networking protocols, distributed systems, cross‑layer optimization and software‑defined networking (SDN)

Mansioni

• Design and implement networking protocols for inter‑satellite and satellite‑to‑ground communication, including routing, link‑state management, congestion control, and fault‑tolerant data transport.
• Develop distributed mesh‑network algorithms that adapt to dynamic topology changes driven by orbital motion, intermittent connectivity, and variable link quality.
• Architect and implement SDN‑based networking frameworks, including programmable control‑plane logic for dynamic topology management, policy enforcement, and cross‑link orchestration.
• Integrate cybersecurity into all layers of the communication stack, including encryption, authentication and secure routing for space systems.
• Implement real‑time communication stacks optimized for radiation‑tolerant processors and constrained onboard computing environments.
• Collaborate with RF, DSP, FPGA, and security teams to ensure end‑to‑end secure communication from PHY layer to application layer.
• Develop simulation and emulation frameworks to model constellation‑scale networking behavior, orbital dynamics, link variability.
