• 2+ years of experience working with Real-Time Operating Systems
• 2+ years of experience with C/C++ software for real-time embedded systems
• 2+ years of experience with Application Development
• Experience in experimental data acquisition, instrumentation, and analysis

• Work with a team of engineers to design, architect, develop, and support real-time data management solutions for storing, streaming, processing, and visualizing high-throughput sensor data
• Deliver solutions that span the entire software development lifecycle, from design to production, and multiple deployment paradigms including CLI tools, native (Windows), and web applications
• Interface with data acquisition hardware (transducers, DAQ devices) to pull and process data
• Design and implement intuitive user experiences for data visualization and analysis
• Build clean, well-tested APIs and streaming pipelines for high-throughput time-series data
• Collaborate directly with customers and stakeholders to translate requirements into technical solutions
• Provide technical leadership through code reviews, mentorship, architecture design,
• Build and maintain deployment, CI/CD, observability, and database infrastructure
• Help define product roadmap and priorities

As a member of the development team, you will develop and maintain software and hardware platforms for acquiring, processing, storing, and visualizing high-volume sensor and time-series data. The systems you deliver will feed critical test results from wind tunnels, test stands, and other facilities into engineering workflows, enabling data-driven decisions that validate and improve aircraft designs. Duties may include (but are not limited to):

• 7 or more years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ or C# (or similar)
