Computer Science Volunteer Jobs in Springfield, VA

Envisioneering, Inc. has an immediate opening for a full-time Signal Processing Engineer/Computer Scientist to support the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) in development of naval combat system Hardware Accelerated Threat Simulation (HATS) test beds. This position is an opportunity to join a team that offers innovative, exciting, and meaningful work linking military and civilian talents to achieve our mission and safeguard our freedoms.

The Signal Processing Engineer/Computer Scientist is responsible for creating state-of-the-art algorithms for electronic support (ES), typically embedded in experimental real-time hardware systems. The work is performed primarily on-site at the NRL. We are seeking a candidate with strong communications skills and the ability to work in a collaborative team environment.

SUMMARY RESPONSIBILITIES: Implement and test algorithms on embedded processors in support of developing advanced electronic warfare (EW) capabilities against radar and communication systems. Implement signal processing on the suitable class of embedded processors ranging from relatively simple microprocessors to parallel processing using GPUs under the guidance of senior system and digital design engineers. Implement algorithms using Matlab, Python, Java, and C++ on appropriate processing platforms.

Make enhancements to previously written software and develop new software as necessary to meet Research and Development project goals. Develop analytic procedures and implement computer programs to perform data transport, signal processing, signal analysis and database manipulation. Retrieve, store, and control data on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), dynamic or static memory, Graphical Processing Units (GPUs), Digital Signal Processing (DSP) cards, or other embedded processors.

Determine how processing requirements are distributed between specialized microprocessors, FPGAs, single board computers, graphical processing units, or other embedded processors. Develop Electronic Support Measure (ESM) software that operates in conjunction with ESM hardware. You will conduct laboratory and field-testing of ESM systems and techniques.

Develop research ideas and prepare briefing materials to present new Research and development concepts in order to solicit new projects. Perform upgrades to existing ESM systems and be part of the design process for any new systems that are developed. Investigate the potential for RF System on Chip (RFSoC) technology that is currently emerging as a viable approach to create more efficient ESM systems.

Write formal and informal reports and provide oral briefings to laboratory management and program sponsors.Minimum Skills/ Qualifications: Five years of work experience in electromagnetic signal processing, particularly radar-related. Experience implementing signal processing algorithms on various platforms desired. Knowledge of Radio Frequency (RF) signal behavior and/or digital hardware

Knowledge and experience programming in Matlab, Python, and Java. Familiarity with C++, VHDL, and Verilog is desired. Understanding of networking, including the details of socket interfaces and TCP and UDP networking protocols.

You will interface with FPGAs. Working knowledge of FPGAs, scripting language interfaces (VHDL and/or Verilog), and of tools related to the programming, utilization, and debugging of hardware/software interfaces. Basic scientific, mathematical, and technical competence.
