Job description

About the Team:

The Real-time Architectures, Integration, and Demonstration (RAID) Group focuses on transition of algorithms from concept to real-time software, providing open architecture expertise, and facilitating integration of capabilities for experimentation, test, and deployment.

The Role:

As a Senior Software Engineer for Integration and Test you will focus on supporting the development, integration, and validation of real-time RF sensor software systems. You will work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to implement software components, integrate algorithms into open architecture frameworks, and develop test infrastructure to validate system performance. This role emphasizes hands‑on software development, open system integration, integrating software components across distributed architectures and with hardware platforms, and rigorous testing of real‑time applications.

What you will do:

• Implement software components for real‑time sensor systems in C/C++
• Integrate signal processing algorithms into open architecture software frameworks
• Develop and execute integration tests and system‑level validation tests
• Debug software issues in real‑time, multi‑threaded, and distributed systems
• Work with senior engineers to translate algorithm specifications into software implementations
• Develop test scripts and automated testing infrastructure
• Perform hands‑on lab work with signal processing hardware and test equipment
• Document software designs, test procedures, results, and technical reports
• Support system demonstrations and field testing activities
• Participate in code reviews and contribute to software quality improvements
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams including algorithm developers, systems engineers, and integration staff
• Support approximately 20% travel for integration events, field testing, and customer demonstrations

Who you are:

• Active clearance at the Secret level with ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is a government requirement
• BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field with relevant experience depending on degree (BS +5 years, MS +3 years, PhD +1 year)
• Experienced in software development (internships and academic projects count)
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming
• Experience with version control systems (Git)
• Experience with Linux
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills
• Strong willingness to learn signal processing and real‑time embedded systems

Even Better:

• Active Top Secret clearance (TS/SCI preferred)
• Effective written and verbal communication skills
• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB
• Experience with hands‑on hardware testing and lab equipment
• Coursework or experience in signal processing
• Experience with real‑time or embedded software development
• Knowledge of multithreaded programming and synchronization
• Understanding of open architecture principles and standards
