## About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Software Developer to join the EATS team, working on next-generation fire control software for a critical tactical weapon system.

You'll contribute to the design, development, and integration of embedded and test software that bridges hardware and software across a complex, real-time platform.

This role requires a strong foundation in C/C++ and/or Python, hands-on experience working with hardware interfaces (sensors, actuators, communication buses, test equipment), and the ability to debug and troubleshoot across the full stack-from low-level drivers to application logic.

You'll collaborate with systems engineers, hardware designers, and test engineers to deliver reliable, mission-critical software in a fast-paced, Agile environment.

We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of software and hardware, brings professional experience, and is eager to grow their skillset on a high-visibility defense program., * STEM degree or equivalent experience.

 * Three (or more) years of relevant industry experience.
 * Professional software development experience beyond college coursework (internships, co-ops, or full-time roles).
 * Proficiency in C/C++ and/or Python for embedded systems, test automation, or application development.
 * Demonstrated experience working with hardware systems: reading schematics, interfacing with test equipment, debugging hardware/software integration issues, or developing drivers/firmware.
 * Familiarity with version control systems (Git, SVN) and software configuration management practices.
 * Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
 * Effective written and verbal communication skills.

Desired Skills

 * Experience with LabVIEW for test automation, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) testing, or instrumentation control.
 * Knowledge of real-time operating systems (RTOS) or embedded Linux development.
 * Familiarity with communication protocols such as RS-232, RS-485, CAN bus, Ethernet, or MIL-STD-1553.
 * Understanding of Agile/Scrum methodologies and experience using tools like Jira or Confluence.
