TSC’s
** Airborne Intelligence, Survelliance, and Reconassance (AISR)
** division in Arlington, VA is currently seeking a Software
Engineer with an educational and/or industry focus inthe design, development,integration, andtestingofsoftwarefor uncrewed aircraft systems(UAS).

TSC’sAISRDivision is actively recruiting a dynamic

Software

Engineer to support development and testing offlightcomponentsfor a Group 4/5

UAV.An ideal candidate is self-directed and motivated, with experience in the development of software programming forautonomous vehicles,electromechanicaldevices, and aerospace/aviation platforms.

Candidateswithrelevant technical experience,demonstrateddevelopment capabilities,and problem-solving skills are encouraged to apply. The selected individualwillprogramdesign components,helpbring-upand test prototypes, and integrate them intoUASplatforms with a multi-disciplinary team.

As akeyengineeringposition within the development and testteam, theUAS Engineer will have up to 10% traveltimetodevelopmentsitesand test ranges.

Other duties may be assigned as new technologies and capabilities are deployed.

This position requires ahands-on individual with experience in development, integration, and test of embedded systems and autonomous vehicle control systems,includingpayload integration, sensor integration, and programming, wire harness design,enclosurebuilding, testing, and electrical analysis.

TSC’s AISR teamdesigns, builds,and operates a family of long endurance UAS sustaining 24/7 operations at multiple sites around the world.

This position requires an individual familiar withelectronicsand application readiness to apply design principles toall phases of UASproduct life cycle, from initialdevelopment through operations.
