Senior Software Engineer

Description

Complex integrated systems support national security by giving insight into the global picture, shaping strategy, and guiding tactical action. Their dependability, reach, and sophistication can decide how a conflict turns out before fighting starts.

The Systems Development Division builds advanced technology that gives an asymmetric edge in the information domain. It carries each solution through every stage, from concept and architecture to rollout, using new technologies to produce first-of-its-kind systems. Current work includes airborne and space RF sensors and multi-function, multi-modal operations.

The company is a growing technology firm that does advanced R&D for defense, intelligence, and national security, covering cyber, next-generation sensors, radar, sonar, communications, electronic warfare, and AI analytics.

You will build C++ software for complex embedded radar systems, mainly for Air-to-Air applications.

Responsibilities

• Turn system and software requirements into designs that meet architecture limits and open architecture rules.
• Write sturdy, high-quality C++ for mission-critical real-time systems where reliability and uptime are essential.
• Build test frameworks that confirm the C++ code works correctly and performs as needed.
• Use DevSecOps practices and keep refining them over time.
• Review requirements, architecture, code, and test plans with peers.
• Write documentation for software designs and interfaces.
• Create analysis tools.
• Find the root cause of software defects and fix them.
