ABOUT THE ROLE

Our software teams work directly with our optics and hardware teams – developing code that manages all of our systems controllers and actuators, telephoto lenses or targeting & tracking systems - and in particular, code that allows those captured images to be defined and managed. We develop advanced real time software for various applications and processors, including new payloads like complex imagers, laser illuminators & targeting designators, range finders and trackers. We develop the embedded controls and user interfaces for complex electro-mechanical systems including remote I/O subsystems, custom lens controllers, and advanced video processing features.

PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Under the guidance of Senior Software Engineers and Designers, be a part of the software build and code development process for complex electro-optical surveillance systems
• In collaboration with Design and R&D, help develop software code for the control of new sensor payloads
• Provide support to Engineering, Manufacturing and Customer Support teams to solve software issues
• Participate in the estimation and planning of new products and features
• Participate as a software team member within an Agile development process
• Participate in continuous department improvement processes
