Senior Embedded Network Engineer
Work Locations: Tampa, FL | Linthicum Heights, MD | Marlborough, MA | Carlsbad, CA
Job Type: Direct Hire
Clearance Required: Active DoD Secret (or higher)
Compensation: $190k–$220K (based on experience level)
Work Environment: 100% Onsite
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Embedded Network Engineer to develop next-generation encrypted networking products supporting government and defense programs.
This role sits at the intersection of embedded Linux, high-speed networking, and secure communications. You’ll build and enhance secure data plane applications, integrate IP security stacks, and support mission-critical networking systems.
This is not general embedded development.
This is embedded + networking + IPSEC
Key Responsibilities
Develop C/C++ software in embedded Linux environments
Build and optimize secure networking features (IPSEC, routing, TCP/IP)
Work within fast-path data plane architectures
Integrate secure and open-source networking stacks
Follow secure coding practices and support vulnerability mitigation
Required Qualifications
Active DoD Secret clearance (or higher)
5+ years networking experience (TCP/IP, routing, IPSEC, control/data plane)
5–7+ years embedded Linux development experience
Strong C/C++ programming skills
Experience building secure products and using static analysis tools
Preferred Experience
User-space packet processing or kernel bypass technologies (e.g., VPP or similar)
Experience with secure routers, VPN devices, or encryption products
Familiarity with Linux networking internals
Rust experience (nice to have)
If you’re an embedded Linux engineer with deep networking and IP security experience and an active clearance, this is an opportunity to work on high-impact, mission-driven technology.
