About the Role
STARK is building the next generation of autonomous platforms capable of navigating the world's most contested environments. As a Senior Mesh Network and MAC Engineer, you will solve critical challenges of directional wireless communication in highly dynamic networks by designing and implementing medium access control (MAC) and routing layers for robust, self-healing networks under demanding tactical conditions.
Responsibilities
- Architect and implement MAC protocols and routing algorithms tailored for directional multi-node systems, tackling neighbour discovery under highly focused, narrow beams.
- Build dynamic TDMA schedules and beam coordination mechanisms in lockstep with the physical layer (PHY) and antenna steering systems.
- Deliver resilient multi-hop relay capabilities sustaining high-bandwidth video and control links between mobile platforms over tactical distances.
- Route traffic seamlessly back to ground control stations under dynamic conditions.
- Build and maintain multi-node Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testbeds alongside automated logging pipelines to evaluate network join times and topology reform behaviours.
Requirements
- Mesh networking experience in a shipped product.
- Linux networking at kernel and packet level with live debugging skills.
- Radio-literate with experience designing a medium-access scheme or TDMA schedule.
- Successfully designed and shipped mesh networking protocols in commercial or defence products.
- Deep, practical familiarity with the Linux networking stack at the kernel and packet levels.
- Strong live-debugging skills on embedded systems.
- Strong understanding of wireless propagation and physical layer realities.
- Hands-on experience designing medium-access control schemes or TDMA schedulers.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain the appropriate security clearance required for this position.
