Mission Support Engineer – Networking
Location: Remote, with mission-driven travel. Travel volume varies considerably by season and program; we’re happy to discuss specifics with candidates.
Job Type: Full-Time
About Somewear Labs
Somewear Labs builds communication and unmanned systems technology for mission-critical operations in challenging environments.
Job Summary
The Mission Support Engineer – Networking is a hands-on, forward-deployed technical expert who owns the success of our communications and networking deployments — from pre-mission preparation through execution and recovery. You will translate mission requirements into working network architectures, diagnose problems in austere conditions, and enable operators to use the capability confidently on their own.
Key Responsibilities
Mission Support & Field Execution
Own technical execution of communications and networking deployments, including trials, evaluations, demonstrations, exercises, and operational missions.
Serve as the on-site technical owner for network readiness, configuration, troubleshooting, and mission performance.
Conduct pre-mission checks, equipment preparation, configuration, and readiness assessments; support post-mission recovery, documentation, and after-action review.
Translate mission requirements into practical connectivity and network architecture.
Drive issues to resolution in the field using structured troubleshooting and sound engineering judgment rather than escalation.
Configure, operate, maintain, and troubleshoot mission networking and communications equipment.
Troubleshoot IP addressing and subnetting, routing, NAT, DHCP, DNS, VPNs, tunnels, encrypted overlays, and firewall and traffic filtering rules.
Diagnose MTU, latency, packet loss, and constrained-bandwidth problems, and capture and analyze traffic using tools such as tcpdump and Wireshark.
Deploy and troubleshoot video streaming over constrained and contested links, including RTSP, RTP/UDP, SRT, MPEG-TS, WebRTC, and HLS; H.264/H.265 encoding; and ONVIF-compliant cameras and encoders.
Tune video streams for available bandwidth and latency budgets — bitrate, resolution, GOP and keyframe interval, buffering, multicast versus unicast — and resolve firewall, NAT traversal, and transcoding issues affecting feeds to ATAK, ground control stations, and downstream consumers.
Work with RF communications and satellite or other beyond-line-of-sight connectivity as the mission requires.
Administer and troubleshoot Linux from the command line: processes and services, logs, network interfaces, routing tables, firewall rules, permissions, packages and dependencies, and system resource utilization.
Work with APIs, configuration files, logs, and command-line tools to configure systems and diagnose mission issues.
Build temporary diagnostic tools, scripts, or workarounds when needed to isolate a problem or keep a mission moving.
Train operators on network setup, communications workflows, and troubleshooting, and support onboarding into operational use.
Advise customers on incorporating the technology into SOPs, CONOPs, and training pipelines, and deliver technical briefs and demonstrations covering capabilities and limitations.
Synthesize operator feedback and field observations for Product and Engineering, and help validate new capabilities and integrations prior to launch.
Hands-on, engineering-level experience diagnosing and resolving networking and communications problems in field, tactical, or other mission-critical environments.
Strong practical networking knowledge across the areas described above, including packet capture and analysis.
Working experience with video streaming protocols and codecs (RTSP, RTP/UDP, SRT, MPEG-TS, WebRTC, HLS; H.264/H.265) and with troubleshooting video delivery over bandwidth-constrained links.
Proficiency administering and troubleshooting Linux systems from the command line.
Working knowledge of RF communications and at least one beyond-line-of-sight, satellite, or tactical communications environment.
Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, network diagrams, configurations, and standard operating procedures.
Experience briefing, training, or supporting military, government, or defense customers.
Strong problem-solving, field judgment, and communication skills.
Relevant field, military, technical, or operational experience may substitute for an engineering degree.
Prior Mission Operations, Field Operations, Program Support, Field Service, Network Operations, or Technical Pre-Sales experience.
Experience supporting large-scale government evaluations, operational tests, field exercises, or deployed communications missions.
Experience with satellite communications, tactical or mesh networking, or RF systems in austere environments.
Familiarity with Somewear Labs' platforms or similar technologies.

Start with a role or skill you want to use in your next job. Use the location and role filters to narrow the results, then open a listing to review the description. A title alone rarely explains the level of responsibility, working arrangement, or experience a team needs. Compare those details before deciding which opportunities deserve a tailored application.
Employers use different titles for similar work. If an exact phrase produces no results, try a shorter title, a core skill, or an alternative name for the role. Remove one filter at a time to understand which requirement is narrowing your search. A broader search can reveal suitable work without asking you to change your actual qualifications.
For each promising listing, read the responsibilities and separate essential requirements from preferences. Note the location, schedule, employment type, and compensation when provided. Missing details are questions to confirm with the employer. A remote opening may still require a particular country, work authorization, or time-zone overlap, so check the full posting before treating it as a location-independent opportunity.
Choose a few examples that demonstrate the skills this employer names. Explain your contribution and its outcome, using accurate numbers where available. Put the most relevant experience first and keep your resume easy to scan. Avoid adding technologies, qualifications, or achievements simply because they appear in a description. Your application should make your existing strengths easier to understand.
Follow the employer’s instructions for resumes, cover letters, work samples, and screening questions. Review the exported file before submitting it: confirm that contact details are correct, text can be selected, and links reach the intended pages. A resume check can help you spot unclear writing before you apply. Its feedback is advisory and does not predict a hiring decision.
Listings are collected from external sources and may change after they appear here. The employer or recruiting destination controls whether applications are open. If an original link is unavailable, check the company’s careers page for the title or move to another opening. An employer website link is a place to check current vacancies, rather than confirmation that a particular job is still accepting applications.
Keep a simple record of the company, role, job reference, application date, and documents you sent. Record any follow-up instructions and the next action you plan to take. This makes it easier to prepare for interviews, compare opportunities, and avoid applying repeatedly to the same opening through different boards. Review your shortlist as employers update their listings and prioritize opportunities with clear requirements that match the work you want to do.
