About The Position

Outside Analytics, a subsidiary of SMX, is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer with a strong C++ background to join its mission data processing team. The role supports remote sensing systems across airborne, ground-based, and orbital environments, including real-time data processing, sensor data processing, and data visualization. The engineer will develop and optimize high-reliability, high-performance C++ applications, including real-time embedded applications, and make design tradeoffs for constrained size, weight, and power (SWaP) systems. The position involves working directly with remote sensing data and customers in a dynamic environment with substantial individual responsibility. The engineer will collaborate with Solutions Architects and Algorithm Engineers, work with remote sensing data providers, contribute to signal-processing architecture, and engineer solutions for low-SWaP deployments such as Versal ACAP devices. Work must be designed, documented, and tested, with quality supported through CI/CD pipelines and applicable corporate and DoD processes and standards. The position is based in Broomfield, Colorado. The candidate must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain a Secret clearance. The proposed salary range is $160,000–$210,000 USD. The company mentions health insurance, paid leave, retirement, and learning and development opportunities.

Requirements

Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance; U.S. citizenship is required.
At least 8 years of experience in high-performance C++ application software engineering within Linux environments.
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
Knowledge of embedded systems and hardware acceleration concepts.
Ability to document and communicate software designs.
Familiarity with version control systems such as Git.
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Passion for learning and staying current with industry trends.

Experience with DoD/DoW projects.
Current U.S. Secret security clearance.
Strong continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) techniques.
Experience with other programming languages such as Python, Java, or JavaScript.
Experience with AI-assisted software development tools and techniques.

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 a robust, repeatable, and adaptable signal-processing architecture.
Engineer solutions for low-SWaP deployments, such as Versal ACAP devices.
Ensure solutions are thoroughly 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 to ensure quality, compliance, and security.
