What We're Doing
About the Training & Simulation Group (TSG)
The TSG designs and delivers cutting edge real time radar antenna simulators that power radar backend processing for lab testing and immersive training exercises. Our solutions run on high performance distributed computing platforms using C++, CUDA, and NVIDIA GPUs, enabling mission critical simulation fidelity for defense customers worldwide.
The Work
• Software Architecture & Design - Define and evolve the core C++/CUDA architecture for real time radar antenna simulation, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and deterministic performance on NVIDIA GPU clusters.
• Feature Development - Implement high performance simulation algorithms, signal processing pipelines, and device drivers to meet strict latency and accuracy requirements.
• CI/CD & Automation - Build and maintain automated build, test, and deployment pipelines (GitLab/GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) that enable rapid, reliable delivery of simulation software.
• Integration & Test Lab Support - Work closely with system engineers and test personnel to integrate new capabilities, troubleshoot issues, and validate performance in the lab environment.
• Agile Team Leadership - Facilitate sprint planning, backlog grooming, and feature decomposition; mentor junior engineers and champion best practice agile processes.
• Collaboration - Partner with systems engineers, radar scientists, and program managers to translate mission requirements into robust software solutions.
Who we are
You will collaborate with and sometimes lead a team of technical professionals including software and systems engineers across the SPY-7 Radar portfolio, supporting key programs such as LRDR, ASEV, RCD, and HDR-GUAM.
Who you are
• Professional experience proactively understanding problems and constraints, identifying solutions, and implementing robust, efficient C++ or CUDA code.
• Strong advocate for test-driven development and collaborative work environments.
• Comfortable decomposing features/stories into discrete tasks and communicating effectively with cross-functional teams.
