About The Position

Parsons welcomes an exceptional Software 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.
