About The Position

IEC, Navigation Solutions delivers military GPS and broader Position, Navigation, and Timing capabilities for 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 position helps ensure that GPS receivers and simulators remain mission-effective under adversarial threats and operational challenges. The role develops, integrates, and debugs robust embedded software for GPS user equipment in accordance with strict performance requirements. Work extends beyond coding, testing, and debugging to include 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. The requisition and any potential offer are contingent upon government contract awards and adherence to contract budgets.
