About the job

About Our Team:

The Real-time Architectures, Integration, and Demonstration (RAID) Group specializes in transforming algorithms from theoretical concepts into real-time software. We offer expertise in open architecture systems and facilitate the integration of various capabilities for rigorous experimentation, testing, and deployment.

Your Role:

As a Principal Software Engineer, you will spearhead technical teams responsible for developing cutting-edge real-time software for advanced RF sensor systems. You'll architect solutions that adhere to open architecture standards, oversee the transition of algorithms from concept to real-time execution, and mentor junior engineers.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead technical teams in the architecture, development, and deployment of real-time RF sensor software sourced from various inputs.
  • Transition advanced algorithms from MATLAB/Python prototypes to optimized production-level C/C++ implementations within open architecture frameworks.
  • Enhance software performance for real-time, resource-constrained environments with stringent latency demands.
  • Design communication frameworks and data flows for distributed processing systems.
  • Direct comprehensive open system integration efforts, including hardware-in-the-loop testing, ensuring seamless integration across distributed architectures, external systems, and hardware platforms.
  • Conduct design reviews, code reviews, and technical risk assessments, ensuring compliance with open architecture standards.
  • Guide and mentor junior and mid-level engineers.
  • Prepare technical documentation, create presentations, and communicate findings to sponsors and senior management.
  • Collaborate with customers, program managers, and stakeholders to define and refine technical requirements.
  • Lead proposal development including defining technical approaches, estimating costs, and developing white papers.
  • Work closely with algorithm developers, systems engineers, RF hardware engineers, and integration teams across multiple programs.
  • Keep abreast of emerging technologies and best practices in real-time software development.
  • Be prepared for approximately 20% travel for customer meetings, integration events, and field demonstrations.

Your Qualifications:
