About The Position

ENVENTION has an immediate need for several mid-level software engineers with strong C++ and real-time middleware experience to join our team supporting sensor integration and tracking capabilities for the Integrated Battle Command System (IBCS). This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a transformative air defense system that integrates advanced technologies to protect against modern threats. You’ll work on high-performance sensor processing software, collaborate across disciplines, and help develop solutions that shape the future of Army Air Defense. This position isn’t just about handling sensor feeds; it’s about delivering precise composite tracking and Combat Identification (CID) to provide commanders with real-time tactical dominance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or above in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
Minimum of 5+ years (3 years with a Master’s degree) of software engineering experience utilizing modern C++ on Linux platforms.
Hands-on experience with RTI DDS or similar real-time publish/subscribe middleware platforms.
Technical experience with sensor processing, tracking, or radar data handling.
Experience working in Agile environments (SAFe/SCRUM) utilizing Atlassian tools.
C++ Proficiency: Strong object-oriented design and programming skills in modern C++ within Linux environments.
Middleware Knowledge: Understanding of real-time distributed data distribution, specifically RTI DDS.
Sensor & Track Processing Domain: Experience with sensor data handling, track correlation, composite tracking, or CID principles.
Agile Collaboration: Experience working within structured SAFe or SCRUM development workflows.
Problem-Solving Skills: Ability to troubleshoot complex real-time concurrency, data serialization, and network latency issues.
Must be available to work full-time onsite in Huntsville, AL.
Active DoD Secret Clearance.

Nice To Haves

9+ years (7 years with a Master’s degree) of C++ software engineering experience.
Direct experience integrating air defense sensors such as Sentinel A3/A4 into composite tracking or IAMD system architectures.
Domain experience with Combat Identification (CID) algorithms and track management systems.
Strong technical writing and communication skills.

Responsibilities

Develop Low-Latency C++ Software: Write, optimize, and maintain high-performance C++ applications operating within Linux environments.
Implement Middleware Messaging: Utilize Real-Time Innovations (RTI) DDS to manage high-throughput, low-latency publish/subscribe messaging across distributed nodes.
Process Sensor & Tracking Data: Develop algorithms to ingest, process, and correlate data from sensors such as Sentinel A3/A4 to maintain an accurate composite track picture.
Integrate Combat Identification (CID): Support the design and implementation of CID logic to ensure rapid and accurate threat discrimination.
Execute in SAFe/SCRUM: Collaborate in an Agile SAFe framework, using the Atlassian suite (Jira/Confluence) to plan, track, and complete software increments.
System Integration & Testing: Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate sensor software components with hardware interfaces and broader battle management nodes.
