• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components.
• Write/review software and system documentation.
• Develop software solutions, confer with users or system engineers.
• Modify existing software to correct errors 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.
• Identify the source of problems in a Radio Frequency (RF) processing system.

Required Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related discipline from an accredited college or university. Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree.
• At least 12 years' experience as a Signals Software Engineer 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. WYT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation).

Desired Skills

• Software defined radio architectures (e.g. SCA, REDHA WK, or GNU), commercial wireless standards, geolocation techniques, software configuration management tools (e.g. GIT, ClearQuest, Trac, or Subversion), Python, Eclipse IDE Google Protocol Buffer, model-based design (e.g. Matlab, SIMULINK), service-oriented architecture, and Linux OS.

Security Clearance Requirement

Current/Active TS/SCI with Full Scope Polygraph.

Compensation

The projected compensation range for this position is $190,000.00 - $215,000.00.
