TL;DR · Realtime Software Engineer

As a Realtime Software Engineer on the Imaging team, you will implement and deploy core real-time image processing software for infrared imaging systems. You will work within a multi-disciplinary team to develop high-bandwidth processing pipelines and define test and simulation environments using both software and hardware-in-the-loop methodologies. The role involves developing software for embedded, SWAP-limited hardware and ensuring secure integration into complex defense systems. Key technical requirements include proficiency in C++, CUDA, and Linux-based operating systems, along with experience in Nix and NixOS. You will utilize tools like Git, JIRA, and CI/CD systems while applying skills in graphics programming, networking, and distributed systems. The work focuses on solving the technical challenge of delivering advanced infrared sensor technology into fielded defense environments through robust software infrastructure and high-performance networking.

What you'll do

  • Implement and deploy real-time image processing software for infrared imaging systems.
  • Configure Linux-based operating systems and develop terminal-based software.
  • Define and implement NixOS-based embedded systems.
  • Develop high-bandwidth processing pipelines using C++ and/or CUDA.
  • Create test and simulation environments using software- and hardware-in-the-loop methodologies.
  • Manage end-to-end system delivery from initial design through manufacturing and deployment.
  • Produce detailed technical documentation for internal and external use.

What we're looking for

  • 5+ years of professional C++ software development experience using tools like GIT, JIRA, and CI/CD systems.
  • Experience developing low-latency, high-throughput software on Linux based systems including system utilities and configuration.
  • Familiarity in graphics programming or image processing.
  • Experience testing and debugging firmware on hardware platforms.
  • Experience with software infrastructure fundamentals including networking, security, and distributed systems.
  • Ability to communicate ideas clearly and produce detailed technical documentation.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. security clearance.
  • Experience with Linux kernel development, other programming languages (C, Rust, Python), or Nix/NixOS (preferred).
