You’ll maintain offline-first apps used in challenging environments (at sea) where connectivity is intermittent and local real-time video and device control must remain resilient. What you’ll work on 1 - An app that gives mariners control of a SmartMast unit! A LAN/offline first mobile app that connects to and controls a nearby SmartMast unit. It maintains persistent, low-latency, full-duplex communication via WebSockets and ROS 2, while also syncing with an AWS-hosted backend API. Video from the PTZ camera streams over RTSP/SRTP using TCP or UDP. Because the most powerful features run on the local network, strong knowledge of networking and device discovery (e.g., mDNS/zeroconf, addressing, NAT/firewalls, QoS) is also essential.
