JT4•Las Vegas, NV

2d•$80,000 - $135,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Software Developer will work primarily within research and development engineering groups with responsibility for a wide variety of tasks. The primary tasking will be the design and integration of software across a multitude of platforms providing system instrumentation, radar control, and data collection as well servicing a broad spectrum of application development. We are looking for developers who work well in both theoretical and practical domains as part of an iterative process to create innovative solutions for a multitude of software domain challenges. These positions generally require the following abilities which are usually performed within an office environment but also in the field: Technical proficiency in any of the following: Embedded software, VxWorks, UI/UX/GUI design, .NET, Visual Studio, WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation), C#, Object Oriented Design, Linux, QNX, Qt (C++), C, Git, Subversion Understanding of Requirements Definition, Participatory Design, Usability Engineering, and Usability Testing Familiarity with Visual Studio and .NET environments Proficiency with C# and Visual Studio on Windows and Linux platforms is desired. A variety of assignments will be performed in planning and overseeing research, design, development, production, testing, installation, integration, sustainment, operation, and maintenance of diverse software for electronic and/or mechanical equipment and systems. The Software Developer will independently perform a range of design, development, analysis, or review tasks under generally established project deadlines. This position may be hired as either a Software Engineer or a Computer Scientist depending upon the qualifications of the applicant. The qualification differences are primarily delineated by Software Engineers requiring an ABET accredited engineering degree while Computer Scientists do not have that requirement.

Responsibilities

Design and integration of software across a multitude of platforms providing system instrumentation, radar control, and data collection.
Servicing a broad spectrum of application development.
Planning and overseeing research, design, development, production, testing, installation, integration, sustainment, operation, and maintenance of diverse software for electronic and/or mechanical equipment and systems.
Independently perform a range of design, development, analysis, or review tasks under generally established project deadlines.
Decomposing individual specifications to the necessary hardware instructions and desired system configurations.
Coding effort with special attention given to unique system parameters critical to ensuring the radar is controlled within strict operating parameters, operates correctly and provides the expected data for collection.
Testing aspect of the development effort includes initial measurements of the generated command signals using various test equipment and subsequent follow-on verification of a myriad of system parameters that could cause system or subsystem faults resulting in damage to the radar.
System level tests to verify the waveform provides exact control timing and data collection instructions to all radars in the system.
Data collection and analysis using locally developed tools to verify the radar systems are operating correctly, individually and collectively, and producing the intended results.
Create code commanding sensors and collecting sensor data for later analysis.
Remove a Digital Quadrature Detector (DQD) from a VME chassis while providing the same capabilities.
Move messaging traffic between the chassis and the DQD into Ethernet to allow the DQD to be remoted and not reliant upon the VME chassis and hardware contained therein.
Create a set of requirements which specified, and added enhanced capabilities to, the data flow and messaging required to meet overall system specifications.
Create new messages and data injection into the framework to allow remote DQD operation.
Continuous integration and testing to ensure incremental success during development.
Install an IR camera on a system and present its proprietary commands and controls to users for proper operation.
Conduct market research to find a suitable host device and determine an appropriate software framework.
Define numerous threads and the software architecture to support the low level control requirements.
Develop screen layout and features (UI/UX) to provide a link between the user and camera to provide an easy-to-use interface.
Debug and verify messaging traffic.
Identify and correct "quirky" camera interfaces and responsiveness.
Configure the Panel PC to boot from a locked disk.
Run a script after booting to connect to a server and download applications for camera operation and to start automatically.
Read, understand, and implement the general and specific operational, safety, quality, and environmental requirements of all plans, procedures, and policies pertaining to their job.
