• Debugging and Defect Correction:
  
  • Identify, debug, and correct defects in existing software, utilizing effective troubleshooting techniques to resolve issues efficiently.
• Database and Data Repository Interfaces:
  
  • Design and implement database or data repository interfaces and queries to support the application's data management needs.
• Algorithm Design:
  
  • Design and implement complex algorithms that adhere to strict timing, system resource, and interface constraints, ensuring high performance and reliability.
• Automated Testing Integration:
  
  • Integrate automated testing as part of the development lifecycle, implementing unit tests and other testing methodologies to ensure software quality.
• Collaboration:
  
  • Work closely with cross-functional teams, including system architects, QA engineers and project managers to ensure software meets user requirements and is delivered on schedule.
• Documentation:
  • Maintain comprehensive documentation for software designs, processes, and interfaces to facilitate knowledge sharing and project continuity.

Desired Skills:

• Proficiency in C++ development, with a solid understanding of real-time systems and performance optimization.
• Experience with RF signals analysis or satellite communications system design and theory, with the ability to implement these concepts into software.
• Familiarity with DevOps processes and tools, particularly in virtual (VMware) and containerized (Docker/Kubernetes) environments.
• Experience with message queue implementation and communication protocols.
• Knowledge of GPU/CUDA development for performance-critical applications.
• Experience with MATLAB for algorithm development and simulation.
• Understanding of Linux system programming and development environments.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Adaptability and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.

Requirements:

• Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements.
• Debug existing software and correct defects.
• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards.
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features.
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environment.
• Develop simple data queries for existing or proposed databases or data repositories.
• Write or review software and system documentation.
• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project.
• Design or implement complex database or data repository interfaces/queries.
• Develop or implement algorithms to meet or exceed system performance and functional standards.
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
• Develop software solutions by analyzing system performance standards, confer with users or system engineers; analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes; and investigate problem areas.
• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance.
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design.
• Design or implement complex algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints; perform quality control on team products. Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards.
• Oversee one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project.
• Confer with system engineers and hardware engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces.
• Coordinate software system installation and monitor equipment functioning to ensure operational specifications are met.

Clearance Required:

• Active TS/SCI with Polygraph

Minimum Education:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics or a related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. Four (4) years of additional SWE experience may be substituted for a Bachelor's degree.

Minimum Years of Experience:

• Fourteen (14) years experience as a SWE in programs and contracts of similar scope, type, and complexity is required.
