What you need
- Strong embedded coding skills in C/C++ and experience with Python
- Solid understanding of acoustic signal processing principles
- Proven ability to design and implement real-time deterministic algorithms
- Experience with LINUX operating systems in embedded environments
- Familiarity with development containers, version control systems (git), and task management tools (Jira)
- Proficiency with I2C, UART, and SPI interfaces
Nice to have
- Proficiency in Mission Oriented Operating Suite Interval Programming (MOOS-IvP)
- Demonstrated experience with undersea acoustic systems
- Experience with Active Noise control
- Active Top Secret (TS) security clearance
- Experience interacting with U.S. Navy and other U.S. Government organizations
Worth weighing
- Salary range is $139,000 - $170,000, which may vary based on experience and other factors
- Role requires an active security clearance, which may limit candidates
- Focus on embedded systems may not appeal to those seeking broader software development roles
