• Electro-magnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC) analysis
• RADAR hardware characterization
• Design, develop, and maintain software applications in C++ and perform analysis using Python and/or MATLAB
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand project requirements and deliver high-quality solutions
• Participate in code and engineering design reviews to maintain and ensure quality as well as providing constructive feedback to peers
• Debug and resolve software defects, ensuring timely delivery of bug-free solutions, and support the development/updates of radar system & subsystem user documentation
• Stay updated with industry trends and emerging technologies related to software development, radar systems, and government contracts
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of development processes, methodologies, and workflow
• Generate software specifications based on customer and or specific radar applications
• Integrate and test radar subsystem hardware & software, to include developing integration and test plans, performing subsystem and system level performance testing, and supporting site integration and test activities
• Support implementation and mitigation of cybersecurity protocols and RMF controls.
• Potential to provide on-site radar engineering and operations support (to both land and shipboard systems) and associated travel

Requirements:

• US SECRET-level (or higher) security clearance
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, software or electrical engineering, or related STEM field with 3+ years relevant experience in RADAR analysis, real-/non-real-time software development and maintenance, signal processing, and/or modeling and simulation
• Experience with real-time radar systems/subsystem software, modeling and simulation, including knowledge of signal processing techniques, data analysis, and algorithm implementation is desired
• Competency with Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• Familiarity with government contract work, understanding the requirements, compliance, and documentation involved
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with the ability to translate complex concepts into efficient software solutions
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams
• Self-motivated and proactive mindset, with a commitment to continuous learning and professional development

Additional Qualifications:

• Experience working on projects involving real-time radar software, modeling and simulation (M&S) development and analysis in government contract environments
• Development experience in object-oriented programming languages such as C++
• Familiarity with software development practices, including version control systems (e.g., Git), configuration management, and Agile methodologies

Why Corvid:

Founded in 2004, we are a group of over 300 engineers and scientists, about 3/4 with master’ degrees or Ph.D.'s, that provide end-to-end solutions including concept development, design and optimization, prototype build, test and manufacture.  We leverage the predictive capability of our high-fidelity computational physics solvers, indigenous massively parallel supercomputer system, prototyping plant, and ballistics and mechanics lab to investigate a variety of high-rate physics phenomena. 

The results are complex engineering solutions for a variety of applications; aircraft, ballistic missile defense, cybersecurity, motorsports, armor development, biological systems, and missile and warhead design and development.  These results are achieved with optimal design and cost efficiency d
