Other information relevant to the job requirement Software engineers are needed for the development of advanced sensor control and signal processing systems. Software will be developed within a modern, object-oriented, modular open-systems architecture primarily using C++, Linux, and publish-subscribe middleware. The focus will be primarily on software for controlling radars, but could also extend to telemetry and optical systems. Required Skills: In-depth knowledge of C++ object-oriented programming with several years’ experience applying this knowledge to complex software architectures. Proven ability to quickly and effectively learn new technologies and programming languages, adapt to new environments and methodologies, and work outside one's own comfort zone. Experience with modern software development practices (e.g. spiral development), version control systems, debugging tools, and coordination/collaboration tools. Experience with software development within a Linux/UNIX environment. Preferred Skills: Experience with other programming/scripting languages such as Java, C, Python, MATLAB, and shell scripting. Experience with publish-subscribe middleware, parallel programming, and distributed systems. Familiarity with UNIX-like operating system architectures, network programming, and real-time programming. Familiarity with the architecture of x86-based computer. Familiarity with basic UNIX system and network configuration and administration to the extent that it aids in software development. Familiarity with, or a strong desire to learn about, processing and control of active sensing technologies such as Radars.
