C++ / CUDA Signal Processing Engineer

Parsons Corporation•Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD

About The Position

Ready for a challenge that will keep you on the cutting edge of systems engineering, modeling, simulation, and RF signal and data processing techniques? Are you an experienced software developer ready to assist Parsons and the US Army in using state of the art digital engineering tools to support advancing the Army’s next generation of radars? Parsons welcomes an exceptional Signal Processing Engineer skilled in C++ and CUDA programming to join our on-going Science and Technology (S&T) efforts at one of the Army’s premier R&D Centers at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. As part of the Parsons team supporting advanced radar capabilities development, you will have access to state-of-the-art engineering and modeling tools and subject matter expertise in the areas of radar, M&S, and software/hardware development for current and future Army radar and sensor systems. Working as part of our high-caliber, dynamic team, you will support the advancement of approaches to develop and implement signal/data processing techniques and new radar concepts within a laboratory environment. The position requires technical coordination with internal and external organizations to support requirements definition, near real-time C++ implementations of ground-breaking Digital Signal Processing algorithms, and coordination with teams implementing similar algorithms within MATLAB, as well as within System on a Chip (SoC) embedded solutions (RFSOC). The simulation is part of a fast-paced work environment with high visibility and high opportunity.
