Job Summary

We are seeking a Software Engineer to support the development of advanced radar capabilities within a complex, real-time combat systems environment. This role focuses on the design, development, integration, optimization, and testing of mission-critical radar software operating across distributed, multi-processor computing architectures.

The ideal candidate has hands-on experience developing modern C++ applications in Linux environments and possesses a strong foundation in software engineering principles, object-oriented design, real-time systems, and performance optimization. Candidates with experience supporting radar systems, sensor processing, signal processing, missile defense, tracking systems, or other defense-related applications are highly preferred.

This position offers the opportunity to contribute directly to advanced radar capabilities supporting national defense missions.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain real-time radar software utilizing modern C++.
• Develop software solutions for distributed and multi-processor computing environments.
• Implement and optimize algorithms supporting radar control, tracking, sensor processing, and data management functions.
• Analyze software performance and implement improvements to throughput, latency, and computational efficiency.
• Support GPU acceleration efforts using CUDA or similar parallel computing technologies where applicable.
• Develop automated unit, integration, and regression tests to ensure software quality and reliability.
• Troubleshoot software defects and support root cause analysis activities across integrated systems.
• Collaborate with systems engineers, integration teams, test engineers, and program leadership throughout the software lifecycle.
• Create and maintain technical documentation including software designs, interface definitions, test procedures, and engineering reports.
• Participate in Agile development activities, including sprint planning, peer reviews, and technical demonstrations.
• Support software integration, verification, validation, and customer testing events.

Required Qualifications

Software Development

• 2-5 years of experience for Software Engineer II or 5+ years for Software Engineer III.
• Professional experience developing software using modern C++ (C++11, C++14, C++17, or newer).
• Strong understanding of object-oriented design and software engineering principles.
• Experience developing software in Linux environments.
• Experience using Git, GitLab, or similar version control systems.
• Experience with software debugging, profiling, and performance optimization.

Technical Skills

• Experience developing real-time or near real-time software applications.
• Knowledge of multi-threaded, distributed, or multi-processor systems.
• Experience creating automated test solutions and software verification frameworks.
• Strong analytical, mathematical, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using Python and/or MATLAB for algorithm development, prototyping, simulation, or data analysis.

Security

• Active DoD Secret Clearance with the ability to maintain clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting AEGIS, SPY radar systems, missile defense systems, or other advanced sensor platforms.
• Radar, signal processing, sensor fusion, tracking, or fire-control software experience.
• Experience with GPU computing and CUDA development.
• Experience working with large-scale defense systems and hardware/software integration.
• Familiarity with Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), DOORS, or requirements traceability processes.
• Experience using Google Test, CTest, Jenkins, CI/CD pipelines, or similar automated testing tools.
• Knowledge of networking, real-time operating systems, and high-performance computing architectures.
• Prior military or defense industry experience.
