Physical Scientist, Software Developer

Peraton; Mississippi; In loco; USD 100.000 - 150.000; Tempo pieno

Descrizione del lavoro

Peraton seeks a physical scientist/software developer with a physics/math background and strong coding skills to work onsite at the Stennis Space Center, Mississippi. You will contribute to ongoing Navy Research Laboratory research and develop tools for ocean acoustics applications.

The role involves prototyping with Python or Matlab, developing algorithms, porting prototypes to executables, and delivering software for fleet use. Collaboration with researchers is essential.

Competenze

• 8+ years with BS/BA; 6+ years with MS/MA; 3+ years with PhD
• Ability to obtain a Secret Clearance
• Strong background in mathematics and/or physics
• 3+ years’ experience in active software development; may include graduate or advanced undergraduate education
• Experience writing clear, detailed documentation of how software works and how it is supposed to be used
• Experience porting software prototyped or developed in one language into another
• Experience developing software in one language (e.g., C/C++) while interfacing with another (e.g., FORTRAN)

Mansioni

• What You Will Do: work onsite at the Stennis Space Center, Mississippi, contributing to Navy Research Laboratory (NRL) research and development of operational tools for Navy use

Peraton is seeking a physical scientist/software developer with a background in physics and/or mathematics and strong software coding skills to work onsite at the Stennis Space Center, Mississippi who will contribute to ongoing Navy Research Laboratory (NRL) research and development of operational tools for Navy use. This project consists of the implementation and analysis of algorithms that model problems in underwater acoustics.

What You Will DoThis endeavor involves experimentation with state-of-the-art techniques for advancing the science in characterizing undersea acoustic propagation and predicting sonar range for operational Navy use.

You will contribute by

• Collaborating with mathematics, physics, and acoustics researchers.
• Writing code, usually in Python or Matlab, to prototype capabilities.
• Develop algorithms in collaboration with researchers.
• Converting prototypes into executable programs in Python, C/C++, or FORTRAN.
• Interfacing with libraries developed in these and other languages, such as Python or Java.
• Preparing software for delivery to the fleet.
• Documentation of software in the form of a user manual, an API for developers, and a test description.
