Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of professional software development building operator, desktop, or data-intensive user interfaces.
• Strong experience with Qt and C++, or with a modern web stack (TypeScript with React or similar).

• Design and build the radar operator application: radar control, mode and status display, health and fault display, and operator alerts.
• Build track and detection displays on maps, with geospatial overlays, coverage and sector displays, and track history and filtering.
• Build mission planning and setup tools: site setup, sector and search volume definition, and configuration management of radar setups.
• Implement recording, playback, and data-review tools for testing, analysis, and training.
• Implement the radar’s external command and control interfaces to the interface control documents defined by systems engineering, including message encoding, transport, and timing.
• Build interface simulators and test harnesses so the radar and C2 systems can be tested independently.
• Support interoperability and integration testing with customer and partner C2 systems.
• Work with the human factors engineer on usability testing, and iterate the interface based on operator feedback.
• Define and maintain the internal interface between the operator software and the radar computer with the platform software team.
• Maintain automated builds and tests, and support system integration, field tests, and customer demonstrations.
