Staff Software Engineer

The GIANT team is looking for talented and motivated engineers to advance the state of the art of Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) modeling and simulation (M&S).  The Global Position System (GPS) Interference And Navigation Tool (GIANT) is employed by engineers and operators throughout the US DoD and by our allies to design, test, train, and operate both current and future PNT capabilities in realistic, challenging Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) scenarios.  As a Software Engineer, you will join a fast-paced agile team to create and integrate new algorithms and sensor models, develop and integrate interfaces, and ensure continuous improvement of the software and associated databases.  Engineers on this interdisciplinary team collaborate to deliver a complete software capability, covering everything from working with customers to define an operational need through deployment and training, to enable our warfighters to fight through a contested environment.

 

As a Software Engineer, you will develop engineering software to predict the performance of current and future GPS and other PNT sensors in operational scenarios.  Tasking includes implementing algorithms to simulate the performance of GPS, communication system, and sensor performance; developing graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for configuration and data visualization; and creating application programming interfaces (APIs) to provide other applications access to the core simulation features.  Engineers provide support for the complete software development life cycle including design, integration, technical documentation, and testing.

Responsibilities:

• Perform software design and development in C++ and SQL
• Collaborate with systems engineers and subject matter experts to refine requirements

Required Skills & Experience: 

• Bachelor’s degree in software engineering, computer science, or related discipline
• Experience with C++ or C# and SQL
• Experience with continuous integration process and tools
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Preferred Skills & Experience:

• Experience working as a member of an agile software development team (e.g., Scrum, Kanban)
• Experience developing modeling and simulation software
• Experience working with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Global Positioning System (GPS), GLONASS, or Galileo
• Experience developing and/or applying alternative PNT sensor and communication system models
• Experience developing cross-platform software on both Linux and Windows operating systems
• Experience with Python
• Experience with geospatial markup languages
• Experience developing desktop graphical user interfaces
• Experience developing high-performance parallel software
• Experience with secure application development practices
• Experience using and interpreting the results of static code analysis tools

Compensation: Starting salary ranges from $70,000 to $80,000 depending on relevant experience and qualifications.
