TL;DR · C++ Engineer, High-Performance Systems

JOB TITLE: C++ Engineer, High-Performance Systems The C++ Engineer, High-Performance Systems joins the Air & Missile Defense Radar team to develop tracking algorithms and software systems for detecting and characterizing airborne threats in real-time. You will design and implement advanced tracking solutions, including multi-target tracking and track fusion, while building high-performance distributed systems to process massive amounts of radar sensor data in milliseconds. Key responsibilities include developing modeling and simulation environments to validate performance, optimizing software for performance-critical environments, and collaborating with radar engineers to integrate solutions into end-to-end defense systems. Required skills include proficiency in C++ and Python, a strong foundation in linear algebra, probability, and statistics, and knowledge of software engineering fundamentals like design patterns and version control. The role addresses the technical challenge of real-time threat discrimination and sensor fusion.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement advanced tracking algorithms for multi-target tracking, track fusion, and discrimination.
  • Develop high-performance, real-time software systems to process radar sensor data for hundreds of simultaneous targets.
  • Build and leverage modeling and simulation environments to validate tracking performance and quantify system capabilities.
  • Optimize tracking software for performance-critical environments where millisecond latency is critical.
  • Integrate tracking solutions into end-to-end defense systems by collaborating with radar engineers and system architects.
  • Communicate technical concepts and trade-offs to cross-functional teams, leadership, and customers.
  • Participate in customer demonstrations and field tests to ensure successful operational deployment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • 2 years of relevant experience.
  • Strong programming skills in C++ and Python.
  • Solid foundation in linear algebra, probability, statistics, and/or differential equations.
  • Understanding of software engineering fundamentals including design patterns, testing, version control, and debugging.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
  • Experience with tracking, estimation, or filtering algorithms (preferred).
  • Background in controls, estimation theory, or digital signal processing (preferred).
