9d•$135,000 - $250,500•Onsite

About The Position

IEC Navigation Solutions delivers advanced military GPS and broader Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) capabilities across weapon systems, ground platforms, airborne assets, maritime systems, and space environments. Its products are designed to provide resilient PNT performance in denied or degraded environments. This role helps ensure that GPS receivers and simulators maintain mission effectiveness amid adversarial threats and operational challenges by developing and debugging robust embedded software for GPS user equipment. The position includes software coding, testing, and debugging, as well as requirements analysis, detailed documentation, proof-of-concept evaluation of design alternatives, and code reviews. The successful candidate performs complex professional software engineering assignments requiring advanced problem-solving skills and provides technical leadership from conceptual design through program completion, as well as for modifications and analysis of legacy programs. The requisition and any potential offer are contingent upon the award of government contracts and adherence to contract budgets. Work is performed on-site in Yorba Linda, California. A 4/10 schedule is preferred; 5/8 and 9/80 schedules are also considered. The role requires the ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent, and at least 9 years of relevant experience designing and analyzing real-time embedded software; alternatively, a master’s or advanced degree and at least 7 years of related experience; or, in lieu of a degree, at least 13 years of related experience.
At least 5 years of experience developing or analyzing GPS system navigation capabilities.
At least 5 years of experience as a team lead, technical lead, and/or subject matter expert on an embedded software development project.
At least 5 years of experience as a technical contributor working with DoD/DoW customers or subcontractors.
Expertise in Python and C/C++.
Ability to obtain a SECRET clearance.
