Investigate problem areas
Serve as team lead at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project
Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware or to improve its performance
Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequence of design
Use signal processing algorithms to convert a signals
Design signal processing software based on sparse documentation
Lead one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
Design / implement complex signal processing algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
Perform quality control on products
Confer with system engineers and software engineers to derive software requirements and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces
Develop and maintain software framework to enable efficient processing of data
Implement recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
Serve as the technical lead of multiple software development teams
Select the software development process in coordination with the customer and system engineering
Recommend new technologies and processes for complex software projects
Ensure quality control of all developed and modified software
Write software using C++ Java; suggest other languages as needed to solve problems
Advanced understanding of the Linux operating system
Identify problems in any part of an RF collection and processing system to include hardware, software, databases
Delegate programming and testing responsibilities to one or more teams and monitor their performance
Basic Qualifications
A polygraph within 5 years is required for this task.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. At least twelve (12) years' experience as a SSWE or equivalent on a project with a focus on Radio Frequency (RF) to include experience with Fourier transforms, filtering, communications theory, digital modulation, error control coding, signals analysis tools (e.g. WYT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation). Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
Preferred Qualifications
Software defined radio architectures (e.g. SCA, REDHA WK, or GNU), commercial wireless standards, geolocation techniques, software configuration management tools (e.g. GIT, Clearquest, Trac, or Subversion), Python, Eclipse IDE Google Protocol Buffer, model-based design (e.g. Matlab, SIMULINK), service oriented architecture, and Linux OS.
