TL;DR · ASTRO System Architect

The ASTRO System Architect joins the Critical Communications Networks team to serve as a technical leader designing solutions for customers utilizing ASTRO voice and data systems. This role involves leading the design, estimation, and implementation of system features within the ASTRO core, guiding features from architecture to product delivery while collaborating with global business and development teams. The architect will build and support platforms using C, C++, and Rust across on-premises environments like ESXi, KVM, and RHEL, as well as cloud-native technologies including Azure and Kubernetes. Key responsibilities include developing embedded real-time applications, managing CI/CD automation via Jenkins and Git, and utilizing AI-assisted development tools. The role solves complex problems in telecommunications by decomposing system architecture into modular, scalable software designs using TCP/IP, TLS, and UDP protocols.

What you'll do

  • Lead the design, estimation, and implementation of system features within the ASTRO core.
  • Provide technical leadership to cross-functional development teams from architecture through product delivery.
  • Design and develop application software using C, C++, or Rust in on-premises and cloud-native environments.
  • Develop embedded real-time applications and robust telecommunications features.
  • Decompose complex system architecture into modular, scalable, and innovative software designs.
  • Apply AI-assisted development tools and agentic coding workflows to increase engineering velocity.
  • Coach and mentor junior and mid-level engineers on technical architecture and software design.
  • Articulate complex technical concepts clearly to engineers, managers, and business stakeholders.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Must be a US Citizen, permanent resident, or have a Master's degree and work authorization.
  • 10+ years of experience in software development and system design.
  • 12+ years of experience, including at least 3+ years leading technical architecture across complex, multi-application systems (preferred).
  • Expertise in designing and developing application software using C, C++, and/or Rust in on-premises and cloud-native environments.
  • Hands-on experience developing embedded real-time applications and robust telecommunications features.
  • Practical knowledge of version control systems (Git, Bitbucket) and CI/CD automation environments like Jenkins.
  • Experience applying AI-assisted development tools, agentic coding workflows, and AI-driven automated testing frameworks (preferred).
