The Sensors Division at STR is looking to solve the problem of transitioning algorithms from concept to real-time software and providing open architecture expertise for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing.
Requirements
- Open systems, open architectures (e.g. – AMS-GRA, COBRA, Big Iron, COARPS, etc.)
- Software development (targeting real-time, resource-constrained systems)
- Software architecture and engineering
- Advanced sensor systems
- Optimization, test & evaluation, and systems engineering
- Experience with standardized architectures
- Ability to survey literature to determine state-of-the-art, incorporate recent research and apply to current problem sets
Responsibilities
- Provide technical leadership to multi-disciplinary teams that develop and implement real-time software solutions for sensing (and counter-sensing) systems
- Organize, participate in, and lead efforts to transition processing capabilities from concept to real-time in compliance with standardized architectures
- Collaborate with senior technical staff across STR, especially to establish RAID as a principal resource of Open Architecture expertise
- Collaborate with senior management staff across STR, especially to identify candidate projects ready to transition to the RAID group, or needing staff assistance to facilitate transition to real-time
- Develop strategies, roadmaps and plans needed to expand the RAID project portfolio
- Perform business development efforts, including engagement with external and internal stakeholders
- Lead, participate in, and review proposal writing efforts
Other
- PhD, MS, or BS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related technical discipline
- 5+ years for PhD, 8+ years for MS, 10+ years for BS
- Demonstrated experience managing large software teams in sensor applications
- Strong interpersonal, communication, technical, leadership, and mentorship, skills
- Approximately 20% overnight travel
