Computer Scientist

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:
This position is an opportunity to join a team that offers innovative, exciting, and meaningful work linking military and civilian talents to achieve our mission and safeguard our freedoms. The Computer Engineer is responsible for creating state of the art software for electronic support (ES), typically embedded in experimental real-time hardware systems.
SUMMARY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Implement and test algorithms on embedded processors in support of developing advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities against radar and communication systems. Implement algorithms on appropriate processing platforms. Implement signal processing on the suitable class of embedded processors ranging from relatively simple microprocessor to parallel processing using GPUs under the guidance of system and digital design engineers. Implement software defined radio functions (such as GNU Radio). You will develop software in C,C++, Java, Python, and Matlab. Make enhancements to previously written software and develop new software as necessary to meet Research and Development project goals. Write formal and informal reports and provide oral briefings to laboratory management and program sponsors. 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. Develop different applications on appropriate processing platforms. 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. Implement software defined radio functions (such as GNU Radio). 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. Investigate the potential for RF System on Chip (RFSoC) technology that is currently emerging as a viable approach to create more efficient ESM systems.
