Senior Embedded Software Engineer (Top Secret Clearance)

STR•Woburn, MA

About The Position

The Systems Development Division (SDD) develops and delivers technology for operationally relevant environments, considering the full solution lifecycle from conceptualization and architecture through development and deployment. Its current efforts include airborne and space RF programs and advanced testing using multi-function, multi-modal capabilities. The Senior Embedded Software Engineer supports the design, development, and implementation of real-time software processing solutions for advanced multi-function radar systems. The role works with multidisciplinary teams to explore and demonstrate radar and electronic warfare/RF convergence. It identifies and evaluates technical approaches, designs and implements digital signal processing architectures, and delivers solutions across the radar signal-processing chain for a range of operational environments. Developed products are expected to meet standards for quality, maintainability, and reuse. The successful candidate contributes technical expertise in areas such as radar, electronic warfare, digital signal processing, systems engineering, and test and evaluation. The role calls for strong technical, interpersonal, and communication skills, the ability to work across disciplines, awareness of relevant technologies, self-motivation, attention to detail, and an interest in delivering systems on tight timelines. An active Top Secret security clearance is required, and U.S. citizenship is needed by the U.S. Government.
