Embedded Software Engineer
Join a dynamic team dedicated to the development of innovative radar and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems through the implementation of digital signal processing. As an Embedded Software Engineer, you will be instrumental in designing and implementing signal processing solutions, conducting performance analysis, and preparing essential documentation to ensure optimal system performance. Responsibilities
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop system requirements and specifications. Design and implement signal processing and software solutions for advanced radar systems. Conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize system performance. Prepare documentation, design specifications, test plans, and reports. Support the development of system architecture and implement designs to meet the architecture. Work on RF systems for airborne applications with potential tasks on other applications as needed. Essential Skills
Proficiency in C++ (C++17 or later) and embedded software development. Experience with digital signal processing (DSP) and real-time processing solutions. Familiarity with the radar/defense industry and RFSoC platforms. Demonstrated experience in delivering advanced development hardware. Ability to work effectively in a team environment under tight deadlines. Experience in preparing and delivering briefings and conducting technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMS). Bachelor's degree with at least 5 years of applicable experience, Master's degree with at least 3 years of applicable experience, or PhD. Additional Skills & Qualifications
Experience with algorithm implementation in real-time systems, especially radar and/or remote sensing. CUDA experience preferred. Proficiency in radar simulation tools such as MATLAB. Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance. Applicable domain experience in Electronic Warfare, Sensor Resource Management, Large-Scale Platform Test Systems, Cyber Physical Systems, and Open System Architectures (UCI, OMS, COARPS). Work Environment
This role offers a hybrid schedule, allowing for a flexible work-life balance. You will work in an office setting as part of the System Development Division (SDD), which focuses on delivering National Defense capabilities.
