Are you a creative, risk-taking researcher who excels at driving innovation from the lab into the real world? Do you thrive on solving the greatest challenges in distributed systems—from AI at the edge and cybersecurity to software-defined networking—for the world’s most important autonomous machines? If you are a long-term thinker who wants to work at the intersection of product development and field-proven technology, this role is for you! 

In this role, you will join a unique research team rated in the top 1% in the country for research commercialization success.

You will conduct cutting-edge research in distributed systems — building on a proven, data-centric foundation while exploring the hardest open problems across the full stack, from how intelligent machines communicate to how they decide and act in the real world.

✨ What You’ll Do / Responsibilities

You will work with a team of experts researching emerging technologies, coming up with novel solutions for the problems posed by our research sponsors, exploring new concepts for products, prototyping ideas, and leading small teams to develop and to enhance advanced features related to RTI’s secure real-time connectivity platform, Connext.

• Communicate technical innovations through papers and presentations.
• Support the transition of promising technical innovations to product including customer trials, coordinating with product management, and working closely with the engineering team to design, develop, test and support this transition.

🎯 What We’re Looking For / Requirements

• Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or related field. Studies related to distributed systems, peer-to-peer networks, or computer networking. Solid understanding of computer network protocols; network and system programming, and real-time and/or high-performance applications.
• 7+ years of experience in distributed systems research.
• Excellent written communications skills, and evidence of research publications. Experience writing and winning proposals, and research project management.
• Solid programming skills (e.g. C/C++, Java, Python or other scripting languages).
• Demonstrated ability to work with cutting edge technology/hardware with little to no support.
• Ability to work successfully / actively engage with a highly distributed team.
• US Person requirement *Due to applicable laws, government regulations and contract specifications, we are required to fill this position only with an individual who qualifies as a "U.S. Person."
