Job Description
Software Developer
Clearance Level : Must be a US Citizen and able to obtain an Active Secret Clearance
At Aquila Technology, you will see our team's passion every day, whether we are building a robust, policy-compliant IT system or stress-testing a system to identify gaps and security vulnerabilities. To own the advantage, we ensure our team owns results and gets the work done right the first time by deploying smart, purposeful solutions that work. Aquila is the right people with the right skills driving the right outcomes. We call this the Aquila Advantage.
Aquila Technology is seeking a Software Developer to develop software for various radio frequency (RF) communications applications : signal processing blocks, networking, GUIs, applications. Develops code that operates software defined radios (SDRs), i.e. Ettus USRPs (X310s and / or X410s), which often act as RF interfaces for the communications applications. The candidate will develop optimized signal processing code to be run on GPUs (C / CUDA) and on Ettus SDRs' Xilinx FPGAs (Verilog, VHDL, RFNoC).
Responsibilities / Duties :
- Create unit tests and end-to-end tests to verify software and system functionality.
- Debugs issues that arise (experience with MATLAB is helpful).
- Verify software meets timing requirements when real-time functionality is required.
- Create polished GUIs or user applications for operators. Handle operator feedback and update software as needed.
- Code development could span real-time applications on GPUs, software defined radios, and other platforms, as well as non-real-time applications.
