Job description

Apogee Research is at the forefront of a revolution in how the DoD operates: a turn towards compositional systems of systems instead of traditional monolithic architectures. This change is driven by a need for faster adaptation to adversarial environments, which requires the ability to field resilient, distributed systems in days to weeks rather than months to years (much less decades).

Apogee Research is looking for Embedded Software Engineers to lead the creation of capabilities addressing currently unmet needs in National Security. This focuses on implementing cutting edge software capabilities at the tactical edge -- working with existing military and commercial hardware. Limited travel to support test and exercise events is expected.

The Details Of The Position Will Vary Based On The Expertise And Desires Of The Candidate And The Specific Project Being Executed, However, Common Themes Include

• Performing hands-on technical work including design and development of low-level software (typically C and C++) for tactical systems across a variety of architectures and POSIX compliant operating systems.
• Debugging cyber-physical systems through a deep understanding of both software and computer hardware issues.
• Supporting demonstration and testing in both laboratory and test events settings.
• Learning new technologies and developing fundamentally new approaches as needed.
• Working in cross-discipline teams to solve hard problems through collaboration.

Qualified Candidates Should Have

• Extensive experience building low level software that reliably runs in a range of environmental conditions.
• High proficiency in C and C++.
• Thorough understanding of the theory and practice of buffers, transports, schedulers, and similar low-level software constructs.
• Theoretical and practical knowledge of signal processing techniques such as (Nyquist sampling, convolutions, Fourier transforms, etc. is a strong plus.
• Understanding of hardware (ruggedized compute, amplifiers, software defined radios, etc.) is a strong plus.

The position is located in our Arlington, VA office (full-time in person). Existing DoD Top Secret clearance is extremely desirable, otherwise all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore all candidates must be a US citizen to apply.

About Apogee Research

• Apogee Research offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance, FSAs, paid vacation, sick leave, and paid holidays.
• Conveniently located in Arlington, VA, we are a short walking distance from the Ballston Metro station.
• We offer the choice of paid garage parking or a contribution towards a transit account.
