Implement and define interfaces aligned with CCSDS standards .
Support LunaNet-compatible architecture and protocol implementation .
Define detailed message flows, protocol stacks, and interface control documents (ICDs) .
Work with software, network and flight/ground segment teams to ensure interoperability and standards compliance .
Support system integration, verification and validation activities.
Contribute to simulation and test scenarios for deep-space communications .
Analyse link performance, data routing and network behaviours within LunaNet environments.
Required Skills & Experience
Strong experience with CCSDS standards (eg space packet protocol, CFDP, DTN/BP, TM/TC).
Experience with LunaNet architecture and interoperability concepts .
Proven work on Low-Level Design (LLD) and interface definition.
Experience with deep-space communications or space networking systems .
Familiarity with Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN) .
