Software Engineer

Northrop Grumman Defense Systems is seeking a Principal or Senior Principal level Software Engineer to fill a very important role in Huntsville, AL. The selected candidate will be responsible for designing, maintaining, updating, and documenting sensor registration algorithm and software functionality including capabilities supporting multiple sensors per platform and multiple platforms in local and remote tracking networks. Investigate and prototype sensor registration approaches for new sensors and stakeholder-defined capabilities, respond rapidly to urgent software behavior issues and anomalies, and analyze test data to diagnose tracking and bias estimation anomalies while developing and implementing mitigations. Familiarity with Kalman filters, statistical methods, linear algebra, statistics, and radar tracking algorithms is highly preferred. Other responsibilities include: Write high-performance, resource-constrained embedded code using C++ and C. Develop radar signal-processing, target tracking, and sensor-fusion algorithms. Take data measurements from radar sensors Remove biases from the sensors and correct them to improve tracking and align better with each other Fielding questions and briefing team members about how the system works 50% C/C++ programming/50% performing analyses, troubleshooting, and explaining the “why” Doing computations for the algorithm formulae for calculating the tracking, bias, data fusion of fixed-wing aircraft, missiles, drones, etc. Technical writing /algorithm documentation
