As we expand our R&D on Dante Embedded Platform (DEP), were looking for a freelance Network Engineer with strong Linux and AoIP expertise to help us scale and optimize our embedded networking stack.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Design and maintain Dante Embedded Platform (DEP)-based AoIP networks for real-time immersive audio.
- Configure and manage VLANs, DHCP pools, ACLs, and routing across multi-segment media networks.
- Optimize Ubuntu-based systems for low-latency Dante performance, including kernel and stack tuning.
- Contribute to the C++ rework of our internal Dante DEP driver layer, with attention to performance and modularity.
- Troubleshoot complex system/network behaviors across audio, video, and control layers.
- Collaborate with R&D and application engineers to ensure full integration and field readiness.
- Write and maintain clear, precise documentation of all configurations and processes.
QUALIFICATIONS/EXPERIENCE:
- Proven experience in Linux network administration, ideally on Ubuntu.
- In-depth knowledge and hands-on work with Audinate Dante, particularly Dante Embedded Platform.
- Strong understanding of enterprise-grade switching, VLAN configuration, ACLs, and inter-VLAN routing (Cisco, etc.).
- Solid experience in C++, especially at system or driver level.
- Capacity to work autonomously in complex, multi-layered environments.
- Fluency in English (written and spoken); French is a plus.
DESIRED SKILLS:
- Masters Degree in Computer and Network Engineering or a related field.
- Experience with real-time audio systems and network optimization for low jitter/latency.
- Understanding of Precision Time Protocol (PTPv2) and clocking challenges in AoIP.
