Riptide Technology is hiring multiple Software Developer / Integration Engineer for a hybrid role out of Washington, DC at the Naval Research Lab. The Software Developer / Integration Engineer will join the TNM team.


Tactical Network Modeling (TNM) is a network emulation and modeling environment for virtual field testing multi-path, mesh, and advanced networking protocols across all operational domains; from space to seabed. Mission-driven metrics are used to evaluate the network’s performance using event-driven scenarios. The TNM toolset creates digital twins of the protocol stack under-test across all of the relevant nodes in the network topology and then simulates the scenario using either virtualized hardware or physical connections to actual hardware in the loop. The state of the network and its performance metrics are stored in a time-series database and evaluated in real-time


Work will be split between home (Telework) and NRL (maximally 2-3 days per week) at discretion of program manager.
