Mid Level Career (5+ yrs experience)
Unspecified
Full Scope Polygraph
IT - Software
Columbia, MD (On-Site/Office)
Required Clearance:
• TS/SCI Full Scope Poly
Position Requirements:
The Signals Software Engineer develops, maintains, and enhances signal
processing software (e.g. detectors, demodulators, protocol processors).
Works individually or as part of a team. Reviews and tests software
components for adherence to the design requirements and documents test
results. Resolves software problem reports. Utilizes software development
and software design methodologies appropriate to the development
environment. Provides specific input to the software components of system
design to include hardware /software trade-offs, software reuse, use of
Commercial Off-the-shelf (COTS)/Government Off-the-shelf (GOTS) in
place of new development, and requirements analysis and synthesis from
system level to individual software components.
Position Responsibilities:
• Analyze user requirements to derive oft-ware design and performance requirements
• Design and code new software or modify existing software to add new features
• Debug existing software and correct defects
• Describe various signal processing techniques
• Identify various digital modulation techniques
• Integrate existing software into new or modified system or operating environments
• Provide recommendations for improving documentation and software development process standards
• Develop/implement algorithms to meet system performance and functional standards
• Assist with developing and executing test procedures for software components
• Write/review software and system documentation
• Develop software solutions, confer with user or system engineers
• Analyze systems flow, data usage and work process
• Investigating problem areas
• Serve as team leader at the level appropriate to the software development process being used on any particular project
• Modify existing software to correct errors, to adapt to new hardware, or to improve its performance
• Design, develop and modify software systems, using scientific analysis and mathematical models to predict and measure outcome and consequences of design
• Use signal processing algorithms to convert a signal
• Design signal processing software based on sparse documentation
• Lead one or more software development teams and ensure the work is completed in accordance with the constraints of the software development process being used on any particular project
• Design/ implement complex signal processing algorithms requiring adherence to strict timing, system resource, or interface constraints
• Perform quality control on products
• Write software using C++ Java; suggest languages as needed to solve problems
• Advanced understanding of the Linux operating system
• Confer with system engineers and software engineers to derive software requirement and to obtain information on project limitations and capabilities, performance requirements and interfaces
• Develop and maintain software framework to enable efficient processing of data
• Identify the source of problems in a Radio Frequency (RF) processing system and associated systems in an enterprise architecture
• Implement recommendation for improving documentation and software development process standards
Basic Qualifications:
• A polygraph within 5 years is required to support this role.
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required. At least seven (7) years' experience as a SSWE or equivalent on a project with a focus on Radio Frequency (RF) to include experience with Fourier transforms, filtering, communications theory, digital modulation, error control coding, signals analysis tools (e.g. WVT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation).
• Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor’s degree
• TS/SCI Full Scope Poly
