Senior Software Infrastructure Engineer

Key Responsibilities

• Build the Backbone: Design and scale a hybrid infrastructure stack (on-prem and cloud) to support high-bandwidth telemetry, software testing, and vehicle system integration - including live test campaigns and remote ops.
• Make Data Move at the Speed of Test: Design and operate high-bandwidth, real-time data pipelines that ingest, process, and surface insights from thousands of signals across vehicle systems. Your work will turn raw telemetry into immediate engineering action - fueling rapid iteration, safety, and performance breakthroughs.
• Engineer Relentless Reliability: Lead the development of systems that validate and verify complex hardware-software interactions, from unit tests to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation and full mission rehearsal. You’ll bring automation to the edge of the envelope - so we can test faster, smarter, and more often.
• Multiply the Velocity of the Entire Engineering Team: Your platforms will enable every engineer at REGENT to move faster and more confidently. You’ll work side-by-side with cross-functional team members to translate high-stakes flight test challenges into elegant, reliable infrastructure that scales with the vehicle and the mission.

Requirements

• Demonstrated professional, full-time experience managing and optimizing databases, physical networks, and data storage solutions (at least 3 years post-graduate).
• Hands-on experience supporting test campaigns for vehicles, drones, boats, or aircraft - especially in fast-paced, real-world environments.
• Proficiency in C++, Python, and Bash with a track record of developing and maintaining complex software systems.
• Demonstrated experience with configuration management (e.g., Git), network performance monitoring (e.g., Wireshark), and data capture/analysis tools (e.g., LabView, MATLAB).

Nice-to-Haves

• A track record of applying DevOps principles to help dynamic software teams ship quickly and reliably.
• Familiarity with multi-disciplinary engineering and advanced network protocols (e.g., DDS, bridging, tunneling, multicast).
• Experience with containerization, orchestration tools, and maintaining CI/CD pipelines.
• Background in data, audio, and video streaming

Who We're Looking For

• Collaborative Team Player: You believe that great things happen when teams work together. You communicate effectively and collaborate with engineers, stakeholders, and other cross-functional teams to align on goals and move projects forward. You bring people together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and moving towards a shared vision.
• Creative Problem Solver: You thrive on tackling complex challenges and finding innovative solutions. Whether it’s optimizing data pipelines, solving integration hurdles, or improving automation workflows, you approach every problem with creativity and determination. You’re able to address immediate needs while also planning for future scalability and efficiency.
• Adaptable & Agile: In a fast-paced, ever-evolving startup environment, you quickly adapt to changing priorities and requirements. You approach challenges with a calm, resilient mindset, and know how to pivot and adjust your approach as needed, ensuring that progress continues without missing a beat.
• Innovative Mindset: You’re driven by curiosity and a passion for technology. You’re passionate about driving continuous improvement, embracing new technologies and methodologies to enhance efficiency, quality, and team performance.
