R&D Engineer- Networked Electronic Warfare

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and optimize high-performance embedded software for networked EW applications, ranging from low-level driver integration to high-level application logic.
• Arcitect and maintain modern CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, integration, and deployment, ensuring high code quality and rapid iteration cycles.
• Collaborate with hardware, RF, and systems engineers to integrate software with complex RF subsystems, validating performance in both lab and field environments.
• Act as a key technical liaison for multi-organizational projects, coordinating API definitions, interface control documents (ICDs), and integration strategies with external partners and government stakeholders.
• Translate signal processing and networking algorithms into efficient, realtime C/C++ code suitable for resource-constrained embedded targets.
• Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior engineers in best practices for software design, testing, and documentation.

Technical/Functional Skills

• Expert proficiency in C/C++ and Python.
• Deep understanding of embedded Linux.
• Proven experience with Devops methodologies and CI/CD tools (e.g. GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes).
• Prior experience developing software for Electronic Warfare (EW), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Radar, or Tactical Wireless Communications systems.
• Familiarity with interfacing software with FPGA-based systems and controlling RF hardware (software defined radios, transceivers).
• Understanding of cybersecurity principles, Information Assurance (IA) requirements, and secure coding practices for defense systems.

Communication

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex software concepts to multi-disciplinary teams and external partners.

Qualifications

• Ability to obtain US Security Clearance.
• Must be a U.S. Citizen, a U.S. Permanent Resident (i.e., a “Green Card Holder”), or a Political Asylee or Refugee.
