- Lead the implementation of mathematical network control algorithms into robust, highly-available, fault-tolerant, production-grade, real-time software.
- Provide thought leadership and guidance in resolving complex implementation and solution challenges.
- Identify and mitigate implementation risks through adherence to technical best practices.
- Oversee technical aspects of network operations and control systems procurement, from RFP definition through proposal evaluation, proofs of concept, detailed designs, implementation, testing, and operational support.
- Review and approve design and development solution documents, as well as internal and external test strategies, plans, and scripts.
- Conduct modeling, costing, and trade analysis.
- Educate teams on new solutions, best practices, and industry trends.
- Bachelor's degree in network engineering, software engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
- A minimum of 10 years of relevant industry experience in network engineering or software engineering, with at least 2 years in an architect role.
- Experience in developing Software Defined Network applications and real-time network controllers in alignment with cloud-native architecture principles.
- Familiarity with virtualization, multi-tenant cloud infrastructures, and distributed storage systems.
- Highly motivated and capable of independently driving projects to completion.
- Strong creative problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
- Familiarity with satellite and wireless telecommunications is considered an asset.
- Knowledge of routing algorithms, optimization problems, and Machine Learning is also advantageous.
- This role necessitates making recommendations and decisions that will significantly influence the network operations and control solution of the Telesat Lightspeed network.
- This position requires contributions both as an individual and as a team member. While there are no direct reports, it is a technical leadership role.
