## Description

The Advanced Technology and Engineering Programs (ATEP) team of Moog Space and Defense Group's Defense sector is looking for an Associate Software Engineer to work on its efforts in maturing technologies in the automated undersea and surface domains.

This exciting opportunity will involve the specification, design, implementation and verification of automated detection/targeting systems, turret control, perception and vehicle control systems.

ATEP's focus is to accelerate innovation and develop the next generation of capabilities by pursuing the development of new products and taking them to TRL 5/6. Following that they are transitioned into business units to be matured and scaled. ATEP has a fail-fast culture, building prototype products to develop/test new capabilities. The focus is on getting hardware into live test scenarios.

The Associate Software Engineer will develop perception and control software using industry-standard packages for the real-time control of sensors and object detection/tracking systems. The incumbent will be responsible for the design and development of embedded software that controls actuation systems and wheeled/tracked vehicles. The incumbent will work with cutting-edge hardware and components in the design and development of architectures that power the next generation of defense systems., * Design, code, test, and maintain real-time embedded control and perception software.

 * Work closely with team members to determine system/software needs and requirements that provide value.
 * Collaborate closely with hardware and software engineers during the definition, design and verification phases.
 * Design and develop software using development best practices, including continuous software integration and test.
 * Utilize novel software technologies for real-time controls.
 * Help shape both core technology and business unit culture.
