Principal Signal Processing Software Engineer

Job Description

This is your opportunity to join the AN/TPY-2 Radar software Team in Woburn, Massachusetts as a Principal Signal Processing Software Engineer to support our X-Band Radar software line. The signal processing software team works with the latest algorithms to implement real-time solutions that improve our missile defense discrimination capabilities. This position involves high level design, software development, integration, and testing of real-time Radar software. The candidate will be responsible for architectural design, application design, and implementation of integrated Radar signal processing software applications. Our radar software applications are developed using Ada, C++/C and Java programming languages running on a variety of computing platforms running Linux or UNIX operating systems.
The Missile Defense Radar Software Department’s mission is to provide world class Missile Defense and Surveillance Radar Software to be used in radar systems deployed on land and sea. Our software teams employ an AGILE Scrum process to rapidly design, code, and integrate capabilities on a continuous basis into a mature solution for our customers. We strive for technical excellence by drawing upon a diverse workforce whose knowledge base covers the complete spectrum of modern computing languages and platforms.
