The Space Dynamics Laboratory (SDL) is seeking an entry- to mid-level Software Engineer (0-10 years of work experience) to join our team, delivering innovative sensing and autonomy solutions to the US Government. The selected candidate will help to further develop and expand SDL's expertise in algorithms and software that enable collaborative autonomy of unmanned systems. This Engineer will play a critical role in designing, developing, and testing cutting-edge, real-time software solutions that power autonomous operation of various systems, which include unmanned aerial systems and their onboard sensors (e.g., EO/IR turrets, radar). The candidate should have a background in software development including the use of a structured or formal software development process with experience in best practices for unit testing, verification, validation, and bug reporting/tracking. Experience in agile programming methodologies is also desired. C++ will be the primary programming language used in this position and most applications will be built for Linux distributions. This position requires the ability to travel to field tests and demonstrations to evaluate and validate software in real-world scenarios.

  • Design, develop, and test real-time software solutions for autonomous systems.
  • Utilize C++ programming language for software development.
  • Work with Linux distributions for application development.
  • Participate in field tests and demonstrations to validate software.
  • Collaborate with team members and communicate effectively with program management and customers.
  • BS in related field (i.e., computer science, computer engineering, electrical engineering)
  • 0-10 years of relevant work experience
  • Working knowledge of software programming and testing using C/C++
  • Experience with Linux and an understanding of how it works
  • Experience with software version control and bug tracking tools (e.g., Git, Jira)
  • Ability to communicate effectively, both verbally and in writing
  • Must be able to work independently and as a team member
  • Must be willing to travel up to 20% of the year in support of field demonstrations
  • Must be a US citizen with the ability to obtain and maintain a US Government Security Clearance
  • Strong Linux experience
  • Experience with hardware interfaces, networking, relational databases, and use of communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, UDP)
  • Experience working with UAS and their components—including autopilot, GPS/IMU, cameras, gimbals, and radios—and developing software interfaces to ArduPilot via the MAVLink messaging protocol
  • Ability to read data sheets, schematics, and interface control documents and write software interfaces to the component level
  • Experience troubleshooting with a Linux development system using GDB, Valgrind, and tcpdump
  • Experience with object detection and classification using AI/ML
  • Active DoD security clearance
  • Competitive salaries
  • Comprehensive benefits package
