About the position
In the role of Computer Engineer, Senior, you will leverage your expertise to provide professional engineering services that require the application of advanced technical knowledge to:
· Research, design, develop, test, evaluate, and maintain computer hardware and software systems in a fully integrated manner.
· Apply fundamentals and principles of professional engineering to complex system architectures.
· Manage and integrate computer hardware, systems software, and computer system architecture.
· Utilize advanced mathematical principles—including calculus, probability, statistics, discrete structures, and modern algebra—to solve engineering challenges.
· Oversee the integration of hardware and software components to ensure seamless system performance.
· Provide technical leadership and high-level engineering support throughout the system lifecycle.
· Conduct Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) of communication protocols and systems (e.g., TLS 1.3, SRTP, IPSec) used in conjunction with INE devices, including functional, performance, and security testing.
· Ensure testing encompasses protocol conformance testing, interoperability testing with various vendor implementations, and performance testing under varying network conditions (bandwidth, latency, packet loss).
