• Design and evaluate complex software architectures aligned with program, customer, security, and performance requirements.
• Develop, test, debug, integrate, and maintain software primarily using C++11 or later in Linux environments; Python and MATLAB may also be used.
• Develop software for distributed, multi-threaded, real-time, embedded, low-latency, signal-processing, device-control, and/or military systems.
• Interface software with hardware including FPGAs, GPUs, embedded SoCs, and peripherals using protocols such as UART, I2C, SPI, and CAN.
• Support software applications for RF, radar, EO/IR, electronic warfare, software-defined radio, sensors, autonomy, artificial intelligence, cyber, and related advanced-electronics programs.
• Apply software engineering best practices including object-oriented design, code reviews, automated testing, configuration management, DevSecOps, CI/CD, and automated release management.
• Develop and operate software in containerized and cloud-native environments using technologies such as Docker/Podman, Kubernetes, Harbor, and Helm, as applicable.
• Collaborate effectively with engineers, program leadership, customers, and cross-functional teams in an agile development environment.
• Support on-site integration, test, demonstrations, and occasional domestic travel as required.
