• Experience with debugging strategies for embedded systems including emulators and logic analyzers
• Ability to collaborate with a team of engineers and support staff
• Knowledge of model-based software development using tools such as MATLAB.
• Familiarity with micro controllers and digital signal processing
• Experience working in both Linux and Windows environments.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills
• Comfortable working in a small, multi-disciplinary technical team
• Small business experience is a plus
• Must be US citizen eligible to obtain DOD Security Clearance

Desired Experience / Background:

• Experience with additional programming languages such as Python and JAVA
• Experience working on embedded systems inside a FPGA (Altera or Xilinx)
• Experience using and creating device drivers
• Exposure to RF systems and or principles
• Exposure to GNU Radio

Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with systems engineers to transition RF system mathematical models from MATLAB and GnuRadio environments into compiled source code environment
• Highly skilled at source code development and debugging using C++, C#, java, Python
• Develop graphical user interfaces for representing RF data analysis displays for a user client application running in Windows
• Have experience with Linux O/S developing data processing, high-speed data transfer using TCP/IP and UDP, and automated test procedure development.
• Implement and test embedded control software for future products
