Senior Embedded Software Engineer

The Systems Development Division (SDD) delivers technology advantage into users’ hands by delivering capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes.  SDD considers the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development, to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.  Current efforts include programs for airborne and space RF as well as advanced testing enabled by multi-function, multi-modal capabilities.

SDD is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to support the design, development, and implementation of real-time processing solutions in software for advanced multi-function Radar systems. You will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multi-disciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions related to exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW / RF convergence.  In this role, you will design and implement digital signal processing over the complete signal processing chain for radar applications in various operational environments.

You will conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize the products you create.  Since the systems SDD develops are deployed in operationally relevant environments, the products you develop need to meet standards of quality, maintainability, and reuse.  This position will offer the opportunity for technical growth, design, analysis, development, testing, and fielding of capabilities.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated contributions in areas such as : radar, electronic warfare, digital signal processing, systems engineering, and test & evaluation. This position requires skills in working with multi-disciplinary teams, awareness of relevant technologies, and interest in developing and delivering systems in tight time-frames. Strong interpersonal, communication, and technical skills are required.  Applicants are expected to be self-motivated, detail oriented and have a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate.

What you will do :

• Support development of innovative radar / EW systems through implementation of digital signal processing (DSP)
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand and / or develop system requirements and specifications
• Design and implement signal processing and software solutions
• Conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize system performance
• Prepare documentation, design specifications, test plans, and reports
