Qualifications
  • Bachelor's in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related degree or equivalent experience
  • At least 3 years of experience writing assembly language, C, or C++ code that runs directly on embedded systems or integrates with real-time operating systems (RTOSes)
  • Experience with protocol reverse engineering and complex communication systems
  • Extensive experience with digital signal processing algorithms and ability to hypothesize, prototype, and extract data from waveforms
  • Outstanding communication skills in both written and verbal forms
  • Ability to acquire an Interim Secret level security clearance by start date and ultimately acquire a TS/SCI level clearance
Preferred Qualifications
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 6+ years of relevant experience
  • Experience with VHDL, Verilog, or other FPGA development languages
  • Developed novel concepts based on analyzing wireless systems
  • Experience with field testing or leading technical teams
  • Active TS/SCI security clearance
