Required Education & Experience

  • Education: B.S./B.A. in Computer Science or equivalent experience.

  • Citizenship: U.S. Citizenship and eligibility for a U.S. Government granted security clearance. Interim Secret security clearance required for employment.

  • Skills: 2+ years of C++ software development, strong Linux tools/library knowledge, and a solid grasp of software engineering principles.

Desired Experience

  • Education: Advanced degree, continuing education in computer science, or advanced math/physics background.

  • Skills: Experience in cluster computing, signal processing, Kubernetes, numerical simulation, multi-threading, GPUs, data visualization, underwater acoustic modeling, and sonar systems.

  • Tools: Familiarity with Agile development, Atlassian products, and DevSecOps methods/tools (Gitlab, Conan, Jenkins, Docker).
