Signals Software Engineer Skill Level 1 [D.26.0071]

Position Requirements: The Signals Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances signal processing software (e.g. detectors, demodulators, protocol processors). Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development and software design methodologies appropriate to the development environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system design to include hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, use of Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from system level to individual software components., * Analyze user requirements to derive software design and performance requirements

• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features
• Debug existing software and correct defects
• Describe various signal processing techniques
• Identify various digital modulation techniques
• Write software using C++ Java
• Functional understanding of the Linux operating system
• Integrate existing software into new or modified systems or operating environments
• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Develop/implement algorithm to meet system performance and functional standard
• 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
• Analyze systems flow, data usage and work processes
• Investigate problem areas
• Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project
• 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

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related. discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
• At least four (4) years' experience as a SWE or equivalent on a project with a focus on Radio Frequency (RF) to include experience with Fourier transform, filtering, communications theory digital modulation error control coding, signals analysis tool (e.g. WYT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation).
• Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.

Preferred Qualifications: Software defined radio architectures (e.g. SCA, REDHAWK, or GNU) commercial wireless standards, geolocation technique , 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.

Salary Range: ~$160k per year with an additional ~$40k in immediately vested company 401(k) contributions
