Responsibilities

Collaborate with Solutions Architects and Algorithm Engineers to develop and optimize C++ applications for real-time operational mission data processing signal chains.
Work with remote-sensing data providers, such as EO/IR and hyperspectral providers, to characterize data and tune signal-processing chains for specific data and targets.
Contribute to the development of a robust, repeatable, and adaptable signal-processing architecture.
Engineer solutions for low-SWaP deployments, such as Versal ACAP devices.
Ensure solutions are designed, documented, and tested.
Use and contribute to CI/CD pipelines to build quality into the Software Development Life Cycle.
Collaborate with team members and leads to achieve project milestones.
Follow applicable corporate and DoD processes and standards for quality, compliance, and security.
