## Description

Today, Electronic Warfare (EW) is a growing enterprise - protecting the warfighter and our national security against ever-adapting threats. Our division currently has an exciting opportunity for a Real-Time Software Engineer to perform design, development, and hardware/software integration in Arlington, VA for the Electronic Warfare Division

Our division primarily focuses on research & development and advanced prototyping, transforming state of the art signal processing algorithms into real-time software systems.

Projects involve small multi-disciplinary teams of engineers working together in spiral or agile development environments to meet aggressive customer schedules aimed at near-term field demonstrations. Join a team of experts in implementing high-performance signal processing on general purpose processors, such as ARM.

The successful candidate will be responsible for:

 * Contributing to design and development of advanced systems as a part of multi-disciplinary teams. These teams are made up of other software team members and subject matter experts from the areas of systems engineering, hardware, firmware, machine learning, RF front end design, and signal processing.
 * Designing, implementing, and testing real-time C/C++ software for multi-core systems running Linux or a real-time operating systems, such as VxWorks
 * Build software products that utilize third party mathematics and communication libraries
 * Interface communication standards / protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, and DDS* Read and understand signal processing algorithms written in MATLAB
 * Work with Linux operating system as well as experience with real-time operating systems
 * Designing, implementing, and testing software to configure and control RF hardware devices
 * Integrating software into third-party software frameworks and architectures, such as Redhawk
 * Documenting the developed systems
 * Support system field testing and collection events, usually about a week in duration once or twice a year, Linux
