Subject Matter Expert SIGINT III - TS/SCI Poly required Annapolis Junction, MD · Information Technology

The SME SIGINT L3 will be responsible for leading multi faceted mission critical system development, deployment and evolution. The successful candidate will provide SIGINT Development (SIGDEV) analytic support, analyze signals of interest, and design software modules for advanced signal processing. This role requires expertise in both coding and signal processing to optimize customer accesses and develop innovative processing solutions. The following are the primary functions of the position:

SIGINT Development Support: Provide SIGINT Development (SIGDEV) analytic support to optimize and develop assigned customer accesses, ensuring effective signal processing and intelligence gathering.

Signal Analysis: Analyze module/model output from signals of interest to facilitate the creation of follow-on processing, enhancing the overall effectiveness of signal interpretation.

Software Design and Implementation: Design and implement software modules in MATLAB or similar design suites to process signals of interest, ensuring adherence to performance and accuracy standards.

Novel Processing Solutions: Develop novel approaches for utilizing Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) and Government Off-The-Shelf (GOTS) systems to create processing solutions beyond their intended use, optimizing resource utilization.

Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including systems engineers and analysts, to gather requirements and ensure the successful integration of software modules into broader systems.

Documentation: Maintain thorough documentation of design processes, algorithms, and software implementations to facilitate knowledge transfer and project continuity.

Desired Technical Skills: 
● Demonstrated experience coding in C/C++ and Python.
● Experience with Software-Defined Radios (SDRs), specifically REDHAWK / RFNext, GNU Radio, or similar platforms.
● Strong background in RF signals analysis and SIGnals DEVelopment (SIGDEV).
● Familiarity with development suites such as MATLAB or X-Midas for signal processing tasks.
● Ability to design, develop, and implement systems within a Unix/Linux environment.
● Familiarity with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration of applications.
● Strong understanding of DSP principles, with a background in satellite communications system design and the implementation of these concepts into software.
● Familiarity with time and/or frequency geolocation technologies and their implementation in signal processing applications.
● Experience with C++/Python-based signal processing tools and libraries.
● Knowledge of GPU/CUDA development for performance optimization in signal processing applications.
● Experience with message queue implementation and communication protocols for efficient data handling.
● Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
● Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
● Adaptability and a commitment to continuous learning and improvement.​
* Ten (10) years experience with SIGINT Development analytic support. Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science from an accredited college or university. In lieu of a degree an additional four (4) years of experience may be substituted.

Salary is determined by various factors, including but not limited to location, the individual’s particular combination of education, knowledge, skills, competencies, and experience, as well as contract-specific affordability and organizational requirements. The projected compensation range for this position is $140,000 – $170,000 annually.
