These ISR systems task, collect, process, analyze, fuse and disseminate the most mission‑critical information. Oversee the design, development, documentation, and testing of software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment. You will work directly with domain and industry experts and technical staff that design and manage software development activities.

The Work

Plans, conducts, and coordinates software development activities. Designs, develops, documents, tests, and debugs software that contains logical and mathematical solutions to business/mission problems or questions in computer language for solutions by means of data processing equipment. Applies the appropriate standards, processes, procedures, and tools throughout the development life cycle. Applies knowledge of computer hardware and software, subject matter to be programmed in business/mission applications, information processing techniques used, and information gathered from system users to develop software. Corrects program errors, prepares operating instructions, compiles documentation of program development, and analyzes system capabilities to resolve questions of program intent, output requirements, input data acquisition, programming techniques, and controls. Ensures software standards are met.

• Experience correcting program errors, preparing operating instructions, compiling development documentation, and analyzing system capabilities
• Strong ability to ensure software standards are met across the development life cycle

Desired Skills

• Strong foundation in discrete mathematics, linear algebra, probability/statistics, and algorithm design/analysis
• Demonstrated experience with algorithm optimization, complexity analysis (Big-O), and applied mathematical modeling for signal processing, simulation, or data-intensive applications
• Proficiency in developing and verifying algorithms for real-time, embedded, or high-throughput computational workloads
• Practical experience with electromagnetic signal analysis, radar/communications interception, or electronic support measures (ESM)
• Familiarity with signal cataloging, modulation analysis, frequency-domain processing, or ELINT system architecture
• Understanding of DoD ELINT tradecraft, signal intelligence pipelines, or integration with sensor environments is highly desirable
