This role requires expertise in coding and signal processing to optimize customer access and create innovative processing solutions.

Responsibilities:

Analyze module/model output from signals of interest to facilitate the creation of follow-on processing, enhancing the overall effectiveness of signal interpretation.
Design and implement software modules in MATLAB or similar design suites to process signals of interest, ensuring adherence to performance and accuracy standards.
Develop novel approaches for utilizing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) systems to create processing solutions beyond their intended use, optimizing resource utilization.
Work closely with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers and analysts, to gather requirements and ensure the successful integration of software modules into broader systems.
Maintain thorough documentation of design processes, algorithms, and software implementations to facilitate knowledge transfer and project continuity.

Requirements:

Proficiency in coding with C/C++ and Python.
Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration of applications
Experience with Software-Defined Radios (SDRs), particularly REDHAWK/RFNext, GNU Radio, or similar platforms.
Experience with message queue implementation and communication protocols for efficient data handling
Experience with time and/or frequency geolocation technologies and their implementation in signal processing applications.
Strong background in RF signal analysis and SIGINT Development (SIGDEV)
Strong understanding of DSP principles, with a background in satellite communications system design and the implementation of these concepts into software.
Experience with development suites such as MATLAB or X-Midas for signal processing tasks
Experience designing, developing, and implementing systems within a Unix/Linux environment.
A minimum of ten (10) years of experience providing SIGINT Development analytic support.

Education:

A bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science from an accredited institution. Alternatively, an additional four (4) years of experience may be substituted for a degree.
