- Build and maintain operational signal processing systems using Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms
- Write efficient, scalable code in C/C++ and Python for real-time signal processing applications
- Develop multi-threaded signal processing algorithms optimized for Linux-based systems
- Collaborate with distributed teams across the Intelligence and Defense communities
- Utilize version control systems (Git) to manage code repositories and documentation
- Conduct research and development on emerging wireless protocols and RF processing techniques
- Work autonomously on technical projects with minimal supervision
- Active TS/SCI security clearance
- Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Computer Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent professional experience)
- Proven experience developing engineering solutions for RF signal collection, processing, and exploitation
- Strong knowledge of digital communications theory, including signal detection, parameter estimation, and demodulation techniques
- Demonstrated ability to develop modeling techniques, create proofs-of-concept, build prototypes, and deliver operational systems
- Proficiency in C/C++ and Python programming languages for signal processing applications
- Experience developing systems within the Intelligence Community or Defense sector
- Working knowledge of code management and version control systems (Git, SVN, or similar)
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to document technical work
- Hands-on experience with Software Defined Radio (SDR) platforms and architectures
- Familiarity with XMIDAS signal processing framework
- Knowledge of geolocation theory, techniques, and RF direction finding
- Experience working with signals in complex, congested RF environments
- Understanding of wireless air interface protocols (LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.)
- Expertise in developing multi-threaded signal processing algorithms in Python/C++ on Linux operating systems
- Proven track record working effectively in distributed or remote team environments
- Experience with GPU-accelerated signal processing or FPGA development
- Knowledge of machine learning applications for signal processing
Annual Salary Range: $140,000 - $175,000 USD
Compensation will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, and clearance level.
