  • Integrate software with hardware- and software-in-the-loop (HITL& SITL) and digital twin environments
  • Define and develop interfaces between software components and external systems
  • Lead and support test planning, execution, and analysis for PNT-focused experiments, demonstrations, and evaluations
  • Collaborate with systems engineers to align system requirements, hardware constraints, and software designs
  • Review, mentor, and provide technical guidance to junior and mid-level engineers
  • Document software designs, algorithms, and test results to support technical reviews and customer deliverables
  • Participate in team technical interchange meetings to describe technical activities, progress, issues, improvements, and more
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
  • Strong verbal and written communications skills
  • 8+ years of professional experience developing software for technical systems
  • Proficiency in C/C++ or Python with experience owning complex software components or frameworks
  • Experience developing software on Linux and Windows based systems
  • Strong understanding of PNT concepts (e.g., Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs),, inertial navigation, timing, sensor fusion) and associated error sources
  • Experience integrating software with complex systems, simulations, or external hardware components
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. DoD security clearance
Desired Qualifications
  • Advanced experience with GPS/GNSS signal processing, navigation algorithms, or timing systems
  • Experience developing or evaluating alternative or resilient PNT approaches
  • Experience with modeling, simulation, or digital twin environments supporting PNT analysis
  • Familiarity with real-time or embedded systems
  • Experience with HIL/SIL test architectures, laboratory integration, or field testing
  • Experience supporting DoD programs, laboratory R&D, or operational prototyping efforts
Basic Compensation: $150,000 - $200,000 (For Beavercreek, OH Only)
