Requirements

U.S. citizenship and an active Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information clearance with polygraph are required.
A bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline focused on digital signal processing algorithms from an accredited college or university is required; four additional years of RF Software or equivalent experience on projects involving similar software processes may substitute for the bachelor's degree.
A Master of Science in Engineering or Computer Science may substitute for two years of required experience.
At least seven years of experience as a digital signal processing algorithm developer on projects involving similar software development processes are required.
At least seven years of experience with C++, Linux, Python, or similar development technologies are required.
Formal training in or demonstrated proficiency with C++ and Linux is required.
Demonstrated experience designing and implementing digital signal processing algorithms in software is required.
Experience developing algorithms for high-throughput signal exploitation is required.
Experience with signal-processing techniques involving low signal-to-noise ratio signals, higher-order modulation, or adaptive modulation is required.
Experience developing or supporting radio frequency software or equivalent signal-processing applications is required.
Experience modifying and integrating existing software or firmware is required.
Ability to clearly communicate complex digital signal processing algorithms and mathematical models to technical team members is required.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, implement, test, and optimize digital signal processing algorithms in software.
Develop algorithms supporting high-throughput signal exploitation and processing.
Develop signal-processing solutions for complex signal environments, including low signal-to-noise ratio, higher-order modulation, and adaptive modulation.
Develop and maintain digital signal processing and radio frequency-related software using C++, Python, Linux, or similar development technologies.
Translate digital signal processing concepts and mathematical models into operational software implementations.
Modify existing software or firmware to meet specialized government requirements.
Adapt and integrate Commercial Off-the-Shelf and Government Off-the-Shelf products.
Develop models and algorithms for processing and exploiting signals of interest.
Analyze and optimize algorithms for performance, throughput, efficiency, and accuracy.
Support integration of developed algorithms into larger radio frequency and signal-processing systems.
Troubleshoot software, firmware, digital signal processing, and algorithm-related performance issues.
Document developed algorithms, models, processing techniques, and technical approaches.
Provide technical explanations of developed models and algorithms so other team members can understand, maintain, and use them.
Collaborate with software engineers, radio frequency engineers, systems engineers, and other technical team members throughout the development lifecycle.
