  • Help shape the technical direction of a small, high-impact team while remaining deeply hands-on in design, implementation, and code review
  • Mentor and uplevel junior and mid-level engineers through pair programming, code reviews, technical guidance, and architectural discussions
  • Lead by example by writing production-quality C++ and Python that powers mission-critical systems, while setting the bar for engineering excellence (CI/CD, unit testing, large-codebase collaboration, git workflows)

  • Experience supporting and navigating large, complex codebases as part of a collaborative team
  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python
  • Direct experience in air and missile defense domains, such as multi-target tracking, sensor fusion, threat classification, kill chain development, or command-and-control systems (e.g., IBCS, Patriot, Aegis, or similar programs)
  • Big data/NoSQL/database technologies
  • Software engineering: software design, algorithm implementation, and software analysis, testing, and optimization
  • Applied mathematics: differential equations, linear algebra, optimization, statistics, and random processes
  • Engineering: controls, estimation theory, and digital signal processing
