• Active TS/SCI clearance with ability to obtain a CI/Poly.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field (or equivalent experience).
• Experience developing software in Python and C++ in Linux environments.
• Experience with X-Midas or similar signal processing frameworks.
• Experience working with signal processing systems or SIGINT applications.
• Understanding of the full software development lifecycle.
• Experience working in collaborative engineering teams.
• Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly in written and verbal formats.

What Would Be Nice to Have:

• Familiarity with software-defined radio systems, including receiver architectures, modulation/demodulation, and spectral analysis.
• Experience applying machine learning techniques to signal processing problems.
• Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker or Kubernetes.
• Knowledge of RF systems, including link budgets, range estimation, or system sensitivity analysis.
• Experience supporting DoD, SIGINT, or electronic warfare mission environments.
• Exposure to telemetry systems or target tracking systems.
