About The Position

This internship offers an opportunity to apply computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis concepts and principles in the development of software for advanced tactical radio equipment. The intern will work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to develop and evaluate interfaces between hardware and software, and to define operational performance requirements and overall system design. The role involves supporting all phases of the software development life cycle, including requirements analysis, design, implementation, integration, and testing of embedded software for real-time control systems. Responsibilities include developing software test procedures, programs, and documentation, utilizing modeling tools for experimental testing and evaluation, and participating in peer reviews to identify, track, and repair defects. The intern will gain experience with a variety of software languages and operating systems on different processor designs.
