Routing & Mobility Engineer
(Dynamic, RF-Aware Network Control)
ClearanceJob is aiding a valued customer in their search for a Routing & Mobility Engineer. This position sits at the intersection of routing protocols, RF behavior, and mobility engineering. Success requires more than configuring routers — it requires understanding how routing algorithms behave when the network itself is constantly changing.
Key Terms
Citizenship: US Citizenship only (due to nature of Government work)
Location: Remote w/travel to New York
Employment Type: Long-term contract (fully funded for next 3 years)
Hourly rate: $100/hr. - $115/hr.
** Rates can/will adjust based on qualifying factors
Position Overview
The selected candidate is responsible for designing, implementing, and tuning adaptive routing behavior in mobile, RF-based networks operating in dynamic, lossy, and contested environments.
This role focuses on real-time routing decision-making, where network topology and link quality change rapidly due to mobility, interference, or degradation.
This is not a static routing configuration role. The engineer will work on mobility-aware, RF-integrated routing systems that incorporate live link-layer and radio metrics to ensure resilient, low-
Key Responsibilities
• Design, implement, configure, and tune dynamic routing protocols for mobile and unstable network environments
• Integrate RF and link-layer metrics into routing decisions using DLEP or similar mechanisms
• Develop and support mobility-aware routing behavior in rapidly changing topologies
• Optimize routing convergence time, stability, and loop avoidance under high packet loss and intermittent connectivity
• Support multicast routing and group communications, including traffic optimization
• Analyze routing performance under stress conditions including latency, jitter, and packet loss
• Conduct packet capture, traffic analysis, and performance troubleshooting
• Collaborate with SDN, overlay, and control-plane engineers to ensure consistent network behavior across layers
• Support simulation, testing, and validation of routing behavior in degraded or contested scenarios
Required Technical Skills & Experience
• Routing & Protocols
• Strong hands-on experience with OSPF, including tuning for unstable or mobile environments
• Experience with BABEL or other mobility-friendly routing protocols (highly preferred)
• Familiarity with DLEP for radio-to-router signaling and metric exchange
• Mobility & RF-Aware Networking
• Experience working with rapidly changing network topologies
• Understanding of lossy link behavior and RF-constrained environments
• Knowledge of multicast routing concepts, group management, and optimization
• Linux & Routing Stack
• Experience with Linux routing internals, including:
• Policy-based routing
• Kernel routing tables
• Routing daemons such as FRRouting (FRR) or Quagga
• Network Performance & Analysis
• Packet capture and protocol analysis (e.g., tcpdump, Wireshark)
• Routing behavior analysis under degraded network conditions
• Simulation and test-based validation of routing decisions
Required Technical Depth
• Solid grounding in network theory, including:
• Link metrics and cost models
• Convergence behavior
• Loop prevention and stability
• Ability to reason about routing behavior in non-deterministic, RF-influenced environments
Preferred Background
• Telecom or routing engineering experience
• Wireless mesh networking or MANET experience
• Defense, tactical communications, or government programs
• ISP or backbone networking experience (engineering or architecture focus)
