The posting

From autonomous uncrewed defense systems to next-generation avionics and integrated battle management systems, RTI’s software powers the world’s most demanding real-time platforms. We are looking for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of distributed architecture, deep-dive systems debugging, and direct customer engagement.

As a key member of our Professional Services team, you will act as a trusted technical advisor to leading Aerospace & Defense engineering teams. You will tackle complex distributed systems challenges, optimize microsecond-level deterministic data flows, and ensure mission-critical software performs reliably when failure is not an option.

✨ What You’ll Do / Responsibilities

  • Work directly with customer engineers to design and prototype distributed systems using RTI Connext.
  • Debug network, performance, and concurrency bugs across customer codebases and embedded environments.
  • Review customer architecture, configuration, and code to catch bottlenecks before deployment.
  • Build working proof-of-concept demos and code examples for customer-specific use cases.
  • Run technical training sessions and deep-dive design reviews, both remotely and on-site at customer facilities.
  • Pass field insights, edge cases, and feature requests directly back to our internal teams.

  • 7-10+ years of software engineering or technical customer-facing engineering experience, with a degree in CS, CE, EE, or equivalent practical background.
  • Solid development and debugging skills in C and C++.
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux, sockets, and network protocols (UDP, TCP, multicast).
  • Comfortable using tools like Wireshark and GDB to track down packet loss, latency spikes, or thread deadlocks.
  • Able to explain technical trade-offs clearly to other engineers and project leads.
  • Willing and able to travel 20–35% to customer sites.
  • US Citizenship required*
  • *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. Citizen."

💎 Nice To Have / Preferred Skills

  • Prior experience with RTI Connext, DDS, ROS 2, or message brokers like Kafka and MQTT.
  • Experience working on defense platforms, avionics, radar, or robotics.
  • Familiarity with MOSA open architecture standards (such as FACE or SOSA).
  • Experience using AI developer tools (like GitHub Copilot, Claude, or ChatGPT) to speed up coding, debugging, and prototyping.
  • Experience with Java, C#, or Python.
  • Experience with RTOS like VxWorks or QNX.
  • An active U.S. security clearance.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
