Do you want to write software that truly matters?
Do you want to play a direct role in bringing America’s warfighters home safely?
Do you want to apply your technical mastery to a cause greater than yourself?
If so, we need to talk.
In Precision Strike & Sensing Solutions (PS), we design, develop, and manufacture state-of-the-art systems that enable our customers to execute their missions. We are the industry leaders in seeker, guidance, and control technologies for precision munitions.
We are seeking a highly skilled Principal Embedded Software Engineer to drive the development of new capabilities for the APKWS (Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System). This isn't just about writing code in a vacuum; you will be designing software for low-power, single-board computers that will be deployed in high-volume production. You will bridge the gap between cutting-edge development and scalable manufacturing, ensuring that the next generation of laser-guided capabilities is lean, efficient, and mission-ready.
Your Impact:
• Embedded Development: Design and implement high-performance, low-power software using C/C++ specifically for single-board computers.
• Capability Expansion: Lead the development of new features and enhancements for the APKWS program, pushing the boundaries of what these systems can achieve.
• Design for Scale: Architect your software with high-volume production in mind, ensuring that your designs are stable, maintainable, and ready for the manufacturing floor.
• Hardware Integration: Work closely with hardware constraints to optimize power consumption and processing efficiency, ensuring maximum reliability in the field.
Note: This role involves a combination of independent development and collaborative hardware integration, because of this work will take a Hybrid work format.
