As a Senior Mission Software Engineer in the Electronic Warfare division, you will join a team building hardware-enabled, software-defined systems for contested environments. You will own the full software lifecycle, including development, integration, deployment, and sustainment of critical components within the Lattice ecosystem. Your daily work involves architecting solutions for embedded systems, backend services, data pipelines, and operator-facing applications while debugging complex cross-system issues involving networking and infrastructure. The role requires proficiency in at least two of Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript, alongside experience with Linux systems. You will develop high-performance software such as numerical algorithms for RF data and deployment automation. This position addresses the technical challenge of scaling electronic warfare platforms to operate reliably in production environments while collaborating with hardware, signal processing, and system architecture teams to meet specific mission requirements.

What you'll do

  • Drive the technical direction for critical areas within the electronic warfare software stack.
  • Architect and implement reliable solutions for production use in contested operational environments.
  • Debug complex cross-system issues involving embedded software, networking, and deployed infrastructure.
  • Develop high-performance software including numerical algorithms, deployment automation, and operator tools.
  • Maintain engineering quality through architectural reviews, code reviews, and testing strategies.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers to improve the team's technical capabilities.
  • Translate customer and operator requirements into actionable engineering priorities.
  • Support field deployments, integration events, and direct customer engagements.

What we're looking for

  • Must have at least 7 years of professional software engineering experience.
  • Must be proficient in at least two of the following: Haskell, Rust, C++, Go, or TypeScript.
  • Must possess deep expertise in one area: embedded systems, backend services, deployment systems, or systems integration/networking.
  • Must have production-level experience with Linux systems including administration, debugging, and performance.
  • Must have a track record of shipping complex software in high-stakes or fast-moving environments.
  • Must be able to work independently and drive technical decisions with minimal oversight.
  • Must possess strong communication skills for direct interaction with customers and operators.
  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret SCI security clearance.
