Original job description

FALCATAs Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (AISR) division in Arlington, VA is currently seeking a Software Engineer with an educational and/or industry focus in the design, development, integration, and testing of software for uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS).

Job Description:

FALCATA's AISR Division is actively recruiting a dynamic Software Engineer to support development and testing of flight components for a Group 4/5 UAV. An ideal candidate is self-directed and motivated, with experience in the development of software programming for autonomous vehicles, electromechanical devices, and aerospace/aviation platforms. Candidates with relevant technical experience, demonstrated development capabilities, and problem-solving skills are encouraged to apply. The selected individual will program design components, help bring-up and test prototypes, and integrate them into UAS platforms with a multi-disciplinary team. As a key engineering position within the development and test team, the UAS Engineer will have up to 10% travel time to development sites and test ranges. Other duties may be assigned as new technologies and capabilities are deployed.

This position requires a hands-on individual with experience in development, integration, and test of embedded systems and autonomous vehicle control systems, including payload integration, sensor integration, and programming, wire harness design, enclosure building, testing, and electrical analysis. FALCATA’s AISR team designs, builds, and operates a family of long endurance UAS sustaining 24/7 operations at multiple sites around the world. This position requires an individual familiar with electronics and application readiness to apply design principles to all phases of UAS product life cycle, from initial development through operations. An individual in this position needs to learn and know the electrical and sensor systems on UAS and utilize his/her engineering skills to develop tangible solutions to meet rapid timelines and create successful electrical design outcomes.

Responsibilities:

Write and maintain clean, well-documented, efficient code for embedded systems
Assist in debugging and testing a larger codebase with a multi-developer team. Conduct developmental test to identify/fix issues
Support pieces of detailed software system and development activities for UAS platforms, including upfront analysis, prototyping, end item development and evaluation in laboratory and field test environments
Collaborate with multi-disciplinary team locally and across physical locations
Work with product owners to build software solutions for corresponding requirements
Create workable software solutions in rapid timeline to support requirements and troubleshoot real world challenges

Required Qualifications:

Associate/Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Aerospace engineering, or a related field and 0-2 years of experience
US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret DoD security clearance
Proficiency in programming languages such as C/C++, Python, MATLAB, JavaScript
Experience with embedded systems for autonomous vehicles.
Software engineering foundation: strong understanding of core concepts including design of data structures, algorithm application, analysis, optimization, and testing
Applied mathematics, differential equations, linear algebra, and statistics
Basic software programming of electrical components, retrieval and evaluation of data, changing code and settings on devices
Ability to communicate effectively in engineering environment, document and explain your work to others

Preferred Qualifications:

Hands on experience writing computer code for applications to control physical devices from initial development to deployment.
Significant experience developing software for unmanned and autonomous vehicles, including air vehicles
Experience designing, building, and testing electrical subsystems for an airborne platform
Design and integration of software control programs in electromechanical systems
Demonstrated technical expertise, attention to detail, precision engineering standards.
Possess excellent organizational and communications skills
Able to prioritize work and maximize personal and team productivity

In compliance with applicable pay transparency laws, the expected salary range for this position is $81k-116k year, depending on experience and location. This role is also eligible for an annual performance bonus and may include equity or incentive compensation as part of the total rewards package.

FALCATA Benefits:
