Senior Software Engineer

Description

Integrated systems support national security by giving decision makers a view of the global situation, along with planning and tactical execution. Their reliability, reach, and sophistication can shape how conflicts play out.

The company's Systems Development Division builds advanced technology that gives an edge in the information domain. The division handles a solution from first concept and architecture through to implementation and deployment, using new technologies to produce first-of-its-kind systems. Current work includes airborne and space RF sensors and multi-function, multi-modal operations.

You will design, develop, and test C++ software for complex embedded radar systems, mainly for Air-to-Air applications.

Responsibilities

• Turn system and software requirements into designs that follow architectural limits and open architecture rules
• Write robust, high-quality C++ for mission-critical, real-time systems that must be highly reliable and available
• Build test frameworks that confirm your C++ software works correctly and performs as required
• Use DevSecOps practices and help improve them over time
• Take part in peer reviews of requirements, architecture, software, and test plans
• Write documentation for software designs and interfaces
• Build analysis tools
• Find the root cause of software defects and fix them

Requirements

• You must be able to obtain a Top Secret security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship as set by the U.S. Government
• A BS in Computer Science or a related technical field, plus at least 5 years of relevant experience

• Experience integrating with larger software systems, including unit and system-level testing
• Working knowledge of GitLab, CI/CD tools, automated testing frameworks, and code quality tools
• Ability to pick up new programming languages, third-party frameworks, and emerging technologies
• Even better: an active security clearance
• Even better: familiarity with signal processing or mathematical modeling
• Even better: experience with GPU software development
• Even better: experience with RDMA
• Even better: experience with C++17 or later
• Even better: familiarity with radar concepts
• Even better: familiarity with integrated systems that pair software and hardware to act on the physical world
• Even better: experience developing, optimizing, and converting MATLAB algorithms into efficient C++
• Even better: an advanced degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related technical field
• Even better: knowledge of automation frameworks and tools that streamline repetitive tasks and manage complex workflows
• Even better: domain expertise in one or more of electronic warfare, antenna apertures, sensor resource management, large-scale platform test systems, cyber physical systems, or open system architectures
