About MBRYONICS

MBRYONICS is at the forefront of free space optical communications. Our product portfolio covers a wide range of emerging technologies from photonic integrated circuits to advanced optical systems and embedded software solutions. Our optical communications systems are integrated and deployed in satellite communications systems. The work is exciting and challenging and is at the forefront of the technology domains.


Responsibilities

Guide the network product portfolio by identifying key technology development directions. Build sample networks that mimic space‑based topologies and explore the functions of various network protocols and management techniques across those topologies. Explore best architectures and protocol stacks for Layer 2 switching protocols in environments where nodes are non‑stationary (e.g. in orbit) and latency is higher than normal. Explore Layer 3 IP routing protocols in a dynamic environment with changing underlying topologies. Manage a network test lab to mimic customer environments so that modems, software, and optical terminals can be stress‑tested and certified.


Who you are

* Demonstrated experience managing production IP over Ethernet networks at scale.
* Experience in modern, high‑speed networks such as Janet / Géant / Internet2 either in research or industrial applications.
* Familiarity with wavelength‑division multiplexing and photonic switching, especially for 5G backhaul or fibre‑optic data‑centre exchange networks, O‑RAN, etc.
* Strong understanding of Layer 2 protocols, including Ethernet framing, Ethernet switching, ARP, Spanning Tree, MAC authentication, 802.1q, and 802.1p.
* Working knowledge of MEC (Multi‑access Edge Computing): designing architectures that allow lower latency at the edge of a network.
* Working knowledge of MPLS configuration and operation.
* Skills in software‑defined networking and network function virtualization to dynamically slice the network for different use cases.
* Familiarity with orchestration & resource management: using algorithms (and increasingly AI) to decide where to place a workload for reliability and latency: at the RRH, the local edge, or the central cloud.
* Strong understanding of Layer 3 protocols, including IPv4, IPv6, eCPRI, interior gateway routing protocols, exterior gateway routing protocols, VLAN routing, DSCP, and QoS.
* Strong understanding of network‑related utility protocols such as NTP, DNS, and DHCP.
* Familiarity with Layer 4 protocols and tuning, including TCP, UDP, and QUIC.
* Familiarity with layer 5+ protocols including SIP, H.323, SSH, HTTP(S), TLS, FTP, NFS, RTSP, VoIP, video, VPNs, etc.
* Familiarity with layer 1 optical fibre concepts, use and interfacing, including SFP variants.
* Adept at packet tracing and capture analysis.
* Basic programming experience for automating tests and configurations.


Desired Qualifications

* CCNA or similar qualification, or equivalent experience.
* Familiarity with Cisco Modeling Labs or similar software emulation tools.
* Experience with radio access networks and 5G architecture a plus.
* Strong analytical and writing skills.
* Comfortable working in a Linux environment.


What’s In It For You

* Career growth: Contribute to a world‑class space‑age communication program while developing leadership skills in a state‑of‑the‑art manufacturing environment.
* Collaboration: Work with talented professionals across disciplines to drive impactful solutions.
* Innovation: Be part of a team pioneering advancements in manufacturing engineering for cutting‑edge FSO systems.
* Work‑life balance: Enjoy flexible work schedules and a comprehensive benefits package.


Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities

Core ethical values, diversity and inclusion are invaluable to MBRYONICS’ business success. We recognise that the broad perspectives that result from recruiting, developing and retaining a globally diverse workforce promotes innovation and helps us succeed as a business enterprise. It is the policy and practice of the Company to provide equal opportunities to all employees and applicants. The Company will not tolerate discrimination on the basis of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, civil status, family status, disability, age, or membership of the Traveller community.
