Responsibilities

Implement and test algorithms on embedded processors in support of developing advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities against radar and communication systems

Implement signal processing on the suitable class of embedded processors ranging from relatively simple microprocessor to parallel processing using GPUs under the guidance of senior system and digital design engineers

Implement algorithms using C++, Matlab, Python, and Java on appropriate processing platforms

Make enhancements to previously written software and develop new software as necessary to meet Research and Development project goals

Develop analytic procedures and implement computer programs to perform data transport, signal processing, signal analysis and database manipulation

Understand networking, including the details of socket interfaces and TCP and UDP networking protocols. You will interface with field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)

Possess a working knowledge of FPGAs, scripting language interfaces (VHDL and/or Verilog), and of tools related to the programming, utilization, and debugging of hardware/software interfaces

Retrieve of, storage to, and control of data to field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), dynamic or static memory, graphical processing units (GPUs), digital signal processing (DSP) cards, or other embedded processors

Determine how processing requirements are distributed between specialized microprocessors, FPGAs, single board computers, graphical processing units, or other embedded processors

Develop Electronic Support Measure (ESM) software that operates in conjunction with ESM hardware. You will conduct laboratory and field-testing of ESM systems and techniques

Develop research ideas and prepare briefing materials to present new Research and development concepts in order to solicit new projects

Perform upgrades to existing ESM systems and be part of the design process for any new systems that are developed

Implement software defined radio functions (such as GNU Radio)

Investigate the potential for RF System on Chip (RFSoC) technology that is currently emerging as a viable approach to create more efficient ESM systems

Write formal and informal reports and provide oral briefings to laboratory management and program sponsors
