STR; Dayton (OH); On-site; USD 157,000 - 223,000; Full time

Job summary

STR's Sensors Division seeks a Lead Software Engineer to design, develop, and implement real-time software for RF sensor systems. You will work in RAID Group to transition signal processing algorithms from research to production-grade software on embedded and distributed platforms.

The role emphasizes GPU-accelerated CUDA, C/C++, Linux, and open architecture standards, with collaboration across algorithm, RF hardware, and systems teams. Travel up to 20% may be required.

Qualifications

• PhD + 2 years, MS + 5 years, or BS + 7 years in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
• Experience with GPU programming and optimization (CUDA).
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for high-performance, real-time applications.
• Experience with Linux and embedded systems development.
• Experience with real-time signal processing.
• Experience with multithreaded programming, thread safety, and synchronization.
• Experience with version control systems (Git) and collaborative development practices.
• Good technical writing and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement real-time software components for RF sensor signal processing systems.
• Develop and optimize GPU-accelerated algorithms for signal processing pipelines using CUDA.
• Translate algorithm specifications (MATLAB, Python) into optimized C/C++ implementations.
• Architect software components compliant with open architecture standards.
• Integrate and optimize code for real-time performance on multi-core CPUs and GPUs with strict latency requirements.
• Develop unit tests, integration tests, and performance benchmarks; promote testing best practices.
• Document software designs, APIs, implementation details, and technical reports.
• Contribute to briefings and presentations for program reviews and customer meetings.
• Collaborate with algorithm developers, systems engineers, RF hardware engineers, and integration teams across programs.
• Contribute to proposal development efforts including technical approach.
• Perform peer reviews and suggest next steps for technical work.
• Support approximately 20% travel for integration events, customer meetings, and field demonstrations.
