## About the Role

Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance, * Bachelor of Science (BS) Degree in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) discipline plus 2 years of professional experience, or an Advanced Degree.

 * Software Background: experience using C/C++ to create software that executes in real-time.
 * Mobility: Willingness and ability to travel occasionally to support field testing, system evaluations, and customer integration events.
 * Active and transferable U.S. government issued security clearance is required prior to start date. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

Qualifications We Prefer:

 * Systems Background: Experience using embedded- and server-based Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) (e.g., Linux, Green Hills, Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, etc.).
 * Hardware Background: Hands-on experience using and/or programming low-level computer system components such as single-board computers, computer backplanes, reflective memory, network switches, network interface cards, and/or other plug-in peripheral hardware components.
 * Signal Processing Foundation: Knowledge of core signal processing concepts.

## Description

* Collaborate with system design and signal processing algorithm teams to implement, test, and debug high-performance embedded real-time software.
 * Integrate production software within systems composed of embedded- and server-based computers, with external sensor and control interfaces.
 * Support the real-time evaluation and hardware-in-the-loop testing of production builds in realistic, high-fidelity mission scenarios.
 * Help optimize system architecture and execution frameworks to achieve the highest possible computational performance on embedded hardware platforms.
