About the job
About Our Team:
The Real-time Architectures, Integration, and Demonstration (RAID) Group is dedicated to transforming algorithms into real-time software solutions. We specialize in open architecture expertise and facilitate the integration of capabilities for testing, experimentation, and deployment.
Your Role:
As a Principal Software Engineer, you will spearhead technical teams in the development of advanced real-time software for RF sensor systems. Your responsibilities will include architecting software solutions that adhere to open architecture standards, transitioning algorithms from conception to real-time execution, and mentoring junior engineers.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead teams in designing, developing, and deploying real-time RF sensor software sourced from various inputs.
- Transition advanced algorithms from MATLAB/Python prototypes to optimized C/C++ implementations within open architecture frameworks.
- Enhance software performance for real-time, resource-constrained systems with stringent latency demands.
- Architect communication infrastructure and data flows for distributed processing systems.
- Oversee end-to-end open system integration, including hardware-in-the-loop testing, to ensure seamless operation across distributed architectures and hardware platforms.
- Conduct design and code reviews, perform technical risk assessments, and ensure compliance with open architecture standards.
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers, providing guidance and technical support.
- Prepare technical reports, create briefings, and present findings to sponsors and senior management.
- Collaborate with customers, program managers, and stakeholders to define technical requirements.
- Lead proposal development efforts, including defining technical approaches and cost estimations.
- Work closely with algorithm developers, systems engineers, RF hardware engineers, and integration teams across various programs.
- Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in real-time software development.
- Support approximately 20% travel for customer meetings, integration events, and field demonstrations.
