Principal Real-Time Software Development Lead

About the Team:

The Sensors Division specializes in the development of advanced sensor systems with a particular focus on airborne and surface-based radar space-based sensing electronic warfare and underwater acoustics. This position is within the Space Missions and Sensing (SMS) Sector of the Sensors this sector we develop and deliver technology to advance space-based sensing space control and counter-sensing missions.

The Role:

SMS is seeking a Principal RADAR Real-Time Software Engineer to provide hands-on leadership in the development implementation and integration of command and control (C2) and real-time sensor processing solutions for advanced multi-function Radar this role your team will implement and integrate digital signal processing over the complete signal processing chain for closed loop radar operations. You will conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize the products you create. Since the system will be deployed in operationally the products you develop need to meet standards of quality maintainability and reuse. This position will offer the opportunity for technical growth in terms of system design novel implementations integration and fielding of Radar and control systems.

A successful candidate will have demonstrated contributions in areas such as: software engineering system integration Radar signal processing and test & evaluation. This position requires skills in working with multi-disciplinary teams interest in signal processing and ability to develop and deliver system solutions for operations. Strong interpersonal communication and technical skills are required. Applicant is expected to be self-motivated detail oriented and has a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate.

What you will do:

• Lead development of innovative radar systems through implementation of digital signal processing (DSP) tracking and command and control software
• Support system level integration with Hardware in the Loop testing and fielding of ground system for closed loop operations
• Provide direction for a distributed software development team that includes resources across company divisions and groups
• Collaborate with the project chief engineer to ensure alignment between technical requirements and software implementations
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand and/or develop system requirements and specifications
• Conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize system performance
• Communicate effectively with internal teams and stakeholders to convey technical concepts and project updates
• Support documentation design specifications test plans and reports as needed

Who you are:

• Ability to obtain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government
• BS in Computer Science Electrical Engineering or related field with 10 years of related experience (or a MS and 8 years)
