Join our highly motivated team of engineers who are dedicated to saving lives on the battlefield and at home by applying science and technology to a real-world problem.

Job Responsibilities:

Assist in development of server code that collects and processes data from ad-hoc networks of distributed wireless sensors. Improve system scalability to support large sensor networks comprising thousands of nodes and multiple, unreliable communication channels.

Required Technical Skills and Experience:

  • Fluency in the LabVIEW.
  • Fluency in at least one system programming language such as C/C++, C#.
  • Ability to generate portable, high-performance, well-documented, production-quality code in these environments in the face of demanding deadlines.
  • Machine learning techniques such as pattern recognition and classification.

Desirable Knowledge and Experience:

  • SQL database skills, specifically Microsoft SQL Server.
  • Work on self-organizing sensor networks.
  • Work on acoustic propagation models.
  • Work on active noise cancellation.
  • Strong mathematics background.
  • Experience with real-time signal processing techniques such as short-time Fourier and wavelet transforms, peak finding and waveform envelope characterization.

Character skills:

  • Self-motivated and self-directed; highly effective in a fast-paced company.
  • Able to handle multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
  • Able to communicate clearly and concisely both verbally and in writing.
  • Able work effectively in a small, distributed team.
  • Some travel will be required for this position.

Education:

  • Bachelor degree with excellent grades from a top engineering program.
  • An advanced degree in a relevant area is desirable but not required.
  • Exceptional candidates with a background in math or the physical sciences and strong programming skills are encouraged to apply.

Special requirements:

Candidates must be a US Citizen and should either possess or be willing and able to obtain a security clearance should it be required.
