As an Edge Network Engineer, Lead, you will join the team to architect and integrate Cloud-to-Tactical Edge solutions for portable compute platforms in disconnected, contested environments. You will be responsible for designing secure, resilient network topologies including LAN, WAN, SD-WAN, and tactical mesh systems while implementing zero-trust principles and hardened protocols. Your daily work involves creating deterministic data paths for real-time situational awareness and managing sensor data fusion from sources like video, telemetry, and IoT. The role requires expertise in containerization, micro-service network architecture, and CI/CD tools like GitLab within an Agile framework. You will utilize technologies such as AWS Outposts, Greengrass, and specialized hardware under SWaP-C constraints to solve complex connectivity problems. Required skills include experience with encrypted channels, software engineering principles, and potentially deploying optimized AI models to embedded targets.
