  7. Minimum of 5+ years of experience in professional, object-oriented software development
  8. Experience with Python, SQL data warehouses, and no-SQL systems

  • Experience with Software Defined Radios (e.g. Ettus)
  • Experience with 2D and 3D Visualization ideally in defense use cases
  • Experience with software development tools enforcing software-development best practices (e.g. linting, code coverage, code quality/security scanning, doc gen, etc.)
  • Experience with software design, code, integration, and testing of production systems
  • Experience with git
  • Familiarity with Azure or other cloud platforms
  • Experience with additional languages such as Rust, NodeJS, Java, Bash, etc.
  • Work with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware (e.g. computers, switches, Software-Defined Radios, etc.)
