ECS Platform Engineer – C++ / Mission-Critical Systems

• Design and implement robust ECS architectures to support dynamic, real-time, and scalable system behavior across multi-sensor platforms.
• Develop and optimize critical C++ systems that handle large numbers of entities and components in real time.
• Extend existing ECS frameworks or build custom solutions tailored to operational control needs, including streaming, state management and system interoperability.
• Collaborate with architects and systems engineers to align ECS design with overarching software architecture and integration goals.
• Define clear component boundaries and data-driven workflows to enable flexible composition and reuse.
• Guide and mentor engineering teams on ECS design patterns, best practices and performance optimization techniques.

• Deep understanding of Entity-Component-System (ECS) design principles and real-world implementation experience.
• Proficient in modern C++ development (preferably C++17 or later), with strong knowledge of low-level memory management, multithreading and performance tuning.
• Experience designing or extending ECS frameworks for simulation, game engines, robotics or real-time data systems.
• Strong skills in modular system architecture, component lifecycle management, and data-driven design.
• Familiarity with real-time processing, high-performance computing, and latency-sensitive applications.
• Solid understanding of cybersecurity and secure coding principles in large-scale systems.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to communicate complex technical ideas across interdisciplinary teams.
