Description

The Computer Engineer will promote reverse-engineering and testing of foreign infrared seekers. This work includes developing software and hardware solutions to integrate foreign weapons into a Hardware-in-the-Loop environment. The intention of this development is to assess threat capabilities and vulnerabilities against U.S. systems that oppose it.

Tasks will include developing real-time software models in C and NVIDIA CUDA environments to simulate analog and digital missile subsystems, implementing parallelizable algorithms that meet real-time constraints, and troubleshooting hardware test benches. Candidates will work closely with software and hardware reverse-engineering teams to comprehend missile tracking, guidance, and counter-countermeasure algorithms for creation of accurate models. Following development and integration, performance of custom solutions will be validated against actual threat hardware. Once complete, efforts will continue toward developing countermeasures for the threat system, in order to ensure its defeat in combat.

• Candidate will possess a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering or Electrical Engineering from an ABET-accredited institute with a 3.3 or higher GPA and 4-8 years of prior relevant experience or Masters degree with 2-6 years of prior relevant experience.
• Candidate will demonstrate:
  • Education or work experience in software design.
  • Competency using C /C and assembly languages.
  • Competency using NVIDIA CUDA

Additional Qualifications

• Developing software models in C /C.
• Developing Simulink models.
• Knowledge of Concurrent RedHawk operating system.
• Knowledge of general purpose microprocessors and FPGAs in a hands-on environment.
• Debugging of complex devices or systems using standard digital and analog test equipment.
• Knowledge of digital signal processing techniques.
• Education with missiles or radars.
