About The Position

RTX BBN Technologies is seeking a Principal Software Engineer with experience in real-time embedded C language system development to join our Physical Sciences & Systems business unit. RTX BBN Technologies is an organization which values work/life balance and encourages lifelong learning of new technologies. For over 70 years, scientists and engineers in diverse disciplines at RTX BBN Technologies have collaborated to solve real-world problems through research, exploration, development and prototyping. We challenge the status quo, pioneer new technologies, and create transformative solutions. Responsibilities will include but are not limited to: Linux and VxWorks real-time software development on a wide range of embedded multi-threaded platforms, integrating with custom hardware, implementation of high-performance embedded solutions, middleware, and implementing control, detection, and tracking algorithms developed by the systems engineering team. The ideal candidate enjoys working in a multi-disciplinary role and is comfortable adapting to and identifying new technologies as needed. This candidate would have eight or more years of experience in implementing and maintaining high performance software, as well as a solid understanding of computer architectures, networking, device drivers, analog and digital interfaces, with experience across multiple real-time operating systems (RTOS). A strong background in signal processing and performance optimization would also be highly sought after.

Requirements

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 8 years of prior experience.
Active and transferable Secret U.S. Government Security Clearance is required on day one.
Experience including at least two of the following: Embedded C/C++ Software, High Performance Computer Systems, Embedded Real-Time Sensors and Control Applications, Software Architecture Design and Implementation.
Experience using embedded Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) (e.g., Green Hills, Integrity, Wind River VxWorks, Linux, etc.)
Experience developing complex systems involving the integration of hardware, firmware, and software.
Proficiency using C/C++.
Willingness to apply for and be granted a DoD security clearance.
Willing to travel 10% to 15%.

Nice To Haves

Experience using the VSIPL high performance vector library or another vector processing library.
Proficiency in MATLAB and/or optimizing algorithms in C/C++.
Experience with real-time processing optimization.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, implement, test, debug and integrate high performance embedded real-time software within heterogenous systems composed of multiple processor types and FPGAs, with external sensor and control interfaces for deployed DoD real-time software systems hosted on embedded hardware.
Collaborate with a cross-functional team testing your contributions and analyzing performance.
Integrate components you develop into a larger system in preparation for real world testing and deployment.
Teaching, coaching, and mentoring less experienced staff.
Contributing to proposals as well as preliminary and critical design reviews.
