Title: Software Developer
Work Location: Hybrid (2–3 days onsite, remaining remote)
Clearance: Secret Clearance required (Interim clearance acceptable to start)

Overview

The client is seeking a Software Developer with experience in digital signal processing (DSP) and RF communications applications. This role will focus on developing software for software-defined radios (SDRs) and building applications that support real-time signal processing, networking, and operator interfaces.

The developer will work across multiple environments including GPUs, SDR platforms, and Linux-based systems, and will create both backend signal processing code and front-end GUIs for operators.

Key Responsibilities

Develop software for RF communications applications, including signal processing, networking, and GUI-based operator applications
Write and optimize real-time signal processing code for GPUs using C/CUDA
Develop and maintain software that operates software-defined radios (SDRs) such as Ettus USRPs (X310, X410)
Configure development environments and tools (Python environments, UHD, containers) to support collaborative coding
Design and implement digital signal processing blocks based on models and MATLAB prototypes
Develop local and web-based GUIs for system operators
Build production-ready code and testing frameworks, including unit and end-to-end tests
Debug and troubleshoot software and system issues
Ensure software meets real-time performance and timing requirements
Gather operator feedback and update applications accordingly
Provide technical reporting and documentation
