Job description

Innovative Signal Analysis (ISA) is seeking new engineering talent with an emphasis on intuitive user-facing application development, scalable services, database architecture, and robust data/signal integration pipelines. ISA is a leading provider of real-time signal and image processing systems for the government and remains dedicated to the development of high-performance signal processing solutions. ISA works in all phases from concept design, through development and integration, to operations and maintenance of challenging mission critical systems, with offices in Richardson, TX & Aurora, CO.

Work Description

Software Engineers support the complete lifecycle of software intensive distributed computing signal processing systems to include design, development, integration, validation and verification, installation, and maintenance in accordance with ISA engineering processes. Engineers work in a collaborative multi-disciplined team environment including software, systems, and signal processing engineers. This entails producing and capturing various design, implementation and test artifacts; participating in peer reviews of such artifacts; supporting the integration of these artifacts into the system(s) under construction; supporting the installation of these systems at ISA factories as well as customer facilities; responding to change requests and defect reports from installed systems. Software Engineers will work on well-defined tasks and some open-ended tasks, showing the ability to work independently on some tasks while requiring supervision/mentoring.

Required Skills

• C/C++, Python, Linux, Agile Processes, Version Control (Git)

• Hypervisors and cloud computing (AWS, VMware, Harvester)
• Graphical User Interface (GUI) development using web frameworks
• Atlassian Products (Confluence, Jira)
• IaC automation and tooling (ansible, packer, terraform)
• Kubernetes Cluster Management (Rancher, RKE2, K3S)
• Knowledge of security hardening standards (DISA STIGs, CIS benchmarks)

Qualifications

• Degree: BS/BA
• Major(s): Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics
• Experience: 3-7 years
• Clearance: Position requires TS and ability to obtain SSBI (in some cases, including polygraph). Employment at ISA requires US citizenship.
