Software Engineer

Connecting and Protecting People, Microwave Products Group (MPG) is a leading global provider of mission-critical engineered electronic components and subsystems comprised of five business units in six manufacturing locations. Our brand names are recognized globally including: BSC Filters, York, UK;
Criteria Labs, Austin, TX;
Dow-Key Microwave, Ventura, CA;
Pole/Zero, West Chester, OH;
Espy, Austin, TX; and K&L Microwave, Salisbury, Maryland and Dominican Republic.

Our expertise is the design and manufacture of communications-based specialty products – engineered components and subsystems – for demanding military, space, commercial aerospace/industrial, and telecom infrastructure applications where function and reliability are crucial.

As a Software Engineer at Espy, you will join a lean, agile team building state-of-the-art systems that deliver critical signals intelligence to government agencies. You will collaborate cross-functionally to design, enhance, andmaintaina high-performance Linux C++ software architecture for a product that captures high-bandwidth RF signal data and streams it to long-term digital storage. Additionally, you will implement innovative DSP and visualization algorithms,leverage cutting-edgecomputing hardware, and integrate machine learning to help customers navigate complex signal environments.
