Senior Software Developer
Apply NowCompany: STR
Location: Arlington, VA 22204
Description:
About the Team:
The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we perform work on full system prototypes, experiment campaigns and technology component development. Particular development roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation.
The Role:
STR is seeking a scientific software engineer to join our team to transform advanced concepts and algorithms into software implementations for prototypes and operational systems that address challenging national security problems. You will work with scientists and engineers to design and develop software for advanced radar signal processing. You will also contribute to the development of engineer-facing tools and processes to facilitate long-term mission operations.
What you will do:
Who you are:
This position requires the ability to obtain a security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government
