Job description

Why Join Rincon Research Corporation (RRC)?

At Rincon Research Corporation, our primary business is innovating, developing, and fielding digital signal processing (DSP) products and services for the United States Defense and Intelligence Communities in support of national security.

Rincon Research Corporation seeks a Software Engineer to create cutting edge software and cloud computing solutions to challenging national security and defense signal processing, geolocation, and communication problems.

You create effective user interfaces and data visualization tools. A key responsibility is staying up-to-date with the latest technologies, tools, and methodologies and experimenting with new technologies to incorporate innovative solutions into RRC projects. RRC personnel can expect to work across all functional areas: systems engineering, development, integration and test, deployment and O&M, and experience the direct mission feedback from the customer and seeing your project provide real-world contributions that make a significant difference.

  • Proficient in C++ and Python in LINUX environments
  • Demonstrated ability to design software systems to ensure they achieve functionality, performance, scalability, and maintainability requirements
  • Able and willing to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI security clearance - US citizenship required

Additional desired background:

  • DevOps and Cloud computing Experience (Gitlab, CI/CD, CVE mitigations, Docker, Kubernetes, PIP)
  • Agile development processes
  • Ability to mentor other engineers and provide technical advice to project leaders
  • Current TS/SCI clearance
Where is the position located?

This position can be located at our Centennial, CO; Chantilly, VA offices or our Tucson, AZ Headquarters. Remote work/telework is not available for this position.

What benefits does RRC offer?
  • 100% employer-paid premiums for family medical and dental insurance, employee life insurance, short-term and long-term disability (STD & LTD)
  • Flexible reimbursement spending accounts for medical expense and dependent care
  • Immediate participation and vesting in the company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) and 401(k) Plan
  • Employer contributions to RRC's ESOP
  • Employer matching contributions to the company's 401( k) Plan
  • Employer discretionary contributions to the company's 401(k) Plan
  • Compensatory (Comp) Time
  • Education Reimbursement
