Embedded Software EngineerApogee Research is looking for Embedded Software Engineers to lead the creation of capabilities addressing currently unmet needs in National Security. This focuses on implementing cutting edge software capabilities at the tactical edge -- working with existing military and commercial hardware.

The details of the position will vary based on the expertise and desires of the candidate and the specific project being executed, however, common themes include:
- Performing hands-on technical work including design and development of low-level software (typically C and C++) for tactical systems across a variety of architectures and POSIX compliant operating systems.
- Debugging cyber-physical systems through a deep understanding of both software and computer hardware issues.
- Supporting demonstration and testing in both laboratory and test events settings.
- Learning new technologies and developing fundamentally new approaches as needed.
- Working in cross-discipline teams to solve hard problems through collaboration.
Qualified candidates should have:
- Extensive experience building low level software that reliably runs in a range of environmental conditions.
- High proficiency in C and C++.
- Thorough understanding of the theory and practice of buffers, transports, schedulers, and similar low-level software constructs.
- Theoretical and practical knowledge of signal processing techniques such as (Nyquist sampling, convolutions, Fourier transforms, etc. is a strong plus.
- Understanding of hardware (ruggedized compute, amplifiers, software defined radios, etc.) is a strong plus.
The position is located in our Arlington, VA office (
full-time in person). Existing
DoD Top Secret clearance is extremely desirable, otherwise all candidates must be eligible to obtain one and therefore any applicant must be a
