## Description

STAFF SWE - NETWORKING

Somana is a generative robotics company. We founded the company because the incredible advances in the modeling layer have no way to access a fragmented physical world. We're building the connective tissue that brings physical AI into the industrial world.

Somana is a hardware, software, and services platform powering rapid improvements in capacity, throughput, yield, and quality. Our compute platform will talk to hundreds of peripherals, survive factory floors, and keep getting smarter - which means the network fabric that binds modems, WiFi, sensors, cameras, switches, and compute subsystems together is as critical as the silicon itself. If you have a passion for solving hard distributed systems problems under real-world constraints — bandwidth-limited RF links, dynamic topologies, strict latency requirements — then this role is for you.


ROLE OVERVIEW

As a Staff Networking Engineer, you will own the software architecture and hands-on implementation of the core networking and communication systems that power our family of compute products. You will be the subject-matter expert for all things L1-L4, who still reads schematics, reviews driver code, debugs packet traces, and cares deeply about interrupt latency. You will be the one who knows whether a timing issue is in the PHY, the driver, or the scheduler - because you've been in that exact fight before on products at scale.


CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

 - Design and improve the networking software stack, from prototype through high-volume production and field deployment, to operate reliably, securel
