• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Write/review software and system documentation
• Develop software solutions, confer with user or system engineers
• Analyze systems flow, data usage and work process
• Investigate problem areas
• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project
• Modify existing software to correct error, 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
• Use signal processing algorithms to convert a signal
• Design signal processing software based on sparse documentation
• Lead 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
• Design/ implement complex signal processing algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
• Perform quality control on products
• Write software using C++ Java; suggest languages as needed to solve problems
• Advanced understanding of the Linux operating system
• Confer with system engineers and software engineers to derive software requirement and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces
• Develop and maintain software framework to enable efficient processing of data
• Identify the source of problems in a Radio Frequency (RF) processing system and associated systems in an enterprise architecture
• Implement recommendation for improving documentation and software development process standards

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
• At least seven (7) years' experience as a SSWE or equivalent on a project with a focus on Radio Frequency (RF) to include experience with Fourier transforms, filtering, communications theory, digital modulation, error control coding, signals analysis tools (e.g. WVT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation).
• Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
