• Investigate and implement network throttling and shaping interfaces, including TAP/TUN virtual devices, tc/NetEm queuing disciplines, and SDN-based routing constructs.
• Integrate middleware modules with virtualized DE Environment components, including virtual EUDs, ATAK-based applications, UAS controllers, and tactical routers.
• Ensure low-latency, high-throughput message brokering across simulation environments while maintaining reliability and compliance with interface standards.
• Develop automated tests and CI pipelines to validate performance, protocol compliance, and interoperability across OneSAF, DE, and CJSIL interfaces.
• Troubleshoot distributed simulation behaviors and resolve complex issues involving middleware logic, network emulation, and real-time data serialization.
• Collaborate with Government engineering teams to refine interface definitions, coordinate integration timelines, and support multi-lab test events.
• Minimal travel required

Requirements and Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related STEM discipline.
• 5+ years of experience in high-performance middleware, protocol translation, and real-time distributed systems.

• Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes) and distributed Linux systems.
• Active Secret clearance

Desired Qualifications

• Experience supporting DoD simulation systems such as OneSAF, comms models, or similar federated architectures.
• Background in tactical networking or real-time embedded systems.
