Lead Open Software Systems Engineer
The Lead Open Software Systems Engineer at STR will be a pivotal member of the Real-time Architectures, Integration, and Demonstration (RAID) Group within the Sensors Division. This division specializes in advanced sensor systems, including radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing. The RAID Group focuses on transitioning algorithms from concept to real-time software, ensuring compliance with open architecture standards, and facilitating integration for experimentation, testing, and deployment.
In this role, the engineer will collaborate with principal investigators, software engineers, and system engineers to plan, model, develop, test, and document large-scale software and hardware systems. A key responsibility will be integrating Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) artifacts with software development pipelines, including code and test generation, and large-scale code analysis. The engineer will also perform requirement extraction, management, and analysis for RF sensor signal processing systems, document system and software designs, and support peer reviews. Approximately 5% travel for integration events, customer meetings, and field demonstrations is expected.
Candidates should possess a PhD with 2 years, a Master's with 5 years, or a Bachelor's with 7 years of experience in Systems Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Experience with MBSE for medium to large-scale agile software development programs is essential, along with strong proficiency in MBSE tools like CAMEO. Experience with open architecture standards and frameworks, version control systems (Git), and collaborative development practices is highly desired. The ability to obtain and retain a Secret or Top Secret Security Clearance is required.
