Aerosphere Power and Navigation Corporation located in Budd Lake, NJ is a leading independent provider of advanced inertial navigation and power solutions for the aerospace, defense, commercial, and industrial sectors. As pioneers in fiber optic gyros, and ring laser gyros, we drive innovation across a wide range of navigation applications and power‑conversion applications.

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to support the development of embedded software and algorithms used in high‑precision inertial navigation systems based on Ring Laser Gyro (RLG) and Fiber Optic Gyro (FOG) technologies. This role involves implementing real‑time signal processing, control loops, calibration routines, and system‑level software that enable world‑class navigation performance. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, experience with embedded development, and a passion for building reliable, high‑performance systems that operate in demanding environments.

• Develop embedded software for real‑time gyro control, signal processing, and navigation algorithms.
• Implement and optimize digital filtering, bias estimation, scale‑factor compensation, and error‑correction routines.
• Collaborate with systems, electrical, and mechanical engineers to integrate software with RLG/FOG hardware and electronics.
• Support development of calibration, alignment, and production test software for inertial sensors and subsystems.
• Conduct software verification, unit testing, hardware‑in‑the‑loop testing, and performance validation.
• Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions, and continuous improvement of software development practices.
• Troubleshoot system‑level issues involving embedded code, sensor behavior, and hardware/software interactions.
• Contribute to documentation including requirements, design descriptions, test procedures, and verification reports.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field; a master's degree is preferred.
• 5-10 years of experience in embedded software development or real‑time systems.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded targets and familiarity with real‑time operating systems (RTOS).
• Understanding of digital signal processing fundamentals, control systems, or sensor fusion concepts.
• Experience with lab tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and embedded debugging interfaces (JTAG, SWD).
• Strong problem‑solving skills and ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Excellent communication and documentation abilities.

• Experience with inertial sensors, navigation algorithms, or precision instrumentation.
• Familiarity with RLG/FOG operation, optical sensing principles, or inertial measurement units (IMUs).
• Knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink, or Python for modeling, analysis, and algorithm development. Ada programming is a plus.
• Experience with ARM‑based microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGA‑based processing environments.
• Exposure to aerospace/defense software standards (DO‑178, MIL‑STD‑1553, or similar).
• Background in Kalman filtering, inertial navigation mechanization, or sensor fusion frameworks.
• Experience with Agile development…
