Location: Auburn, AL, Aberdeen, MD

Job Type: Full-time

Job Description: IS4S is seeking a Signal Processing Engineer to join our team on-site in Auburn, AL or Aberdeen, MD to assist development and integration of capabilities supporting Army and Joint warfighting functions. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in developing real-time signal processors that analyze signals and waveforms to extract actionable information. This role is particularly interested in candidates with experience in electromagnetic warfare, processing data received by satellites, and/or radar processing and tracking.

The Signal Processing Engineer will be responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining signal processing algorithms and systems to support our mission-critical projects. Candidates should have a deep understanding of signal processing techniques, including filtering, transform analysis, and feature extraction. They will also have experience working with real-time data streams and developing efficient algorithms for processing and analyzing this data.

The person or persons filling this position will join an existing, fast-paced, multi-disciplinary team enhance capabilities of multiple products as well as support integrations with warfighting elements. Responsibilities include

• Developing software to ingest and process IQ, PSD, and other data streams or snippets in real time
• Implementing techniques and algorithms that deconstruct, classify, or extract information from data streams
• Developing visuals that communicate signal processing outputs to end users
• Working with a software team to improve implementation efficiency
• Supporting and running benchtop, developmental, and operational tests to validate integrations at IS4S and non-IS4S sites
• Communicating and interacting with customers, stakeholders, and other companies

The challenges facing our nation are constantly evolving. Therefore, we are looking for self-driven, entrepreneurial team members willing and able to constantly learn, adapt, and find ways to develop and integrate solutions.
