About The Position

Halogen Engineering Group is seeking a Signals Software Engineer to develop, maintain, and enhance signal processing software, including detectors, demodulators, and protocol processors. This role involves working individually or as part of a team, reviewing and testing software components for design adherence, documenting test results, and resolving software problem reports. The engineer will utilize appropriate software development and design methodologies, and provide input on software components of system design, including hardware/software trade-offs, software reuse, COTS/GOTS utilization, and requirements analysis. The position is located in Columbia, MD, and requires a current TS/SCI clearance with a Polygraph.

Requirements

Current TS/SCI w/Poly clearance is required
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related discipline from an accredited college or university is required.
At least seven (7) years' experience as a SSWE or equivalent on a project with a focus on Radio Frequency (RF) to include experience with Fourier transforms, filtering, communications theory, digital modulation, error control coding, signals analysis tools (e.g. WYT, DVT), and digital signal processing (e.g. adaptive beamforming/ filtering, demodulation).
Four (4) years of additional SSWE or equivalent experience on projects with similar software processes may be substituted for a bachelor's degree.
Software defined radio architectures (e.g. SCA, REDHAWK, or GNU)
Commercial wireless standards
Geolocation techniques
Software configuration management tools (e.g. GIT, Clearquest, Trac, or Subversion)
