## Description

We are seeking a Systems Engineer with strong software development expertise to support the development of command and control software for a cutting-edge application. This role requires a true engineer-not just a software developer-capable of designing, integrating, and managing complex hardware-software interactions across multiple subsystems. The selected candidate will join our team working on-site at Ft. Belvoir to advance mission-critical experimental systems., * Design, develop, and implement command and control software for LIDAR payload systems

 * Interface with GPS/GNSS equipment, scanning mirrors, lasers, and laboratory devices (e.g., time delay generators, oscilloscopes)
 * Ensure precise timing synchronization and high-rate data acquisition across subsystems
 * Develop remote operations capabilities, including subsystem command execution and telemetry return
 * Program across Windows and Linux environments, with focus on performance, reliability, and scalability
 * Document algorithms, interfaces, and system designs through UML diagrams and software ICDs
 * Collaborate with engineers and scientists on integration, testing, and field experimentation
