Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, integrate, and maintain C/C++ applications for test, control, and data acquisition systems.
- Support development in National Instruments environments including LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW.
- Contribute to system verification, validation, and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Perform software design, coding, debugging, documentation, and unit testing.
- Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and embedded engineers to support cross-disciplinary efforts.
- Participate in peer reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards.
- Support the transition of software into integration, operational, and sustainment phases
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 2+ years of professional experience with C/C++.
- U.S. Citizenship
- Active Secret clearance.
- Familiarity with Git and modern configuration management practices.
- Strong problem-solving, communication, and teamwork skills.
Desired Qualifications:
- Experience with LabWindows/CVI or LabVIEW (National Instruments products).
- Background in FPGA development and hardware description languages (HDLs) such as Verilog or VHDL.
- Experience with embedded software development and real-time systems.
- Exposure to automated test equipment and hardware-in-the-loop environments.
- Familiarity with Agile development practices and task tracking tools such as Jira.
- Ability to support multiple projects and adapt quickly to new challenges.
