Silvus is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior R&D Software Engineer to join our Research & Development team. In this pivotal role, you will report to the Senior Director of R&D, Electronic Warfare and lead the software design and implementation for next-generation Networked Electronic Warfare (EW) systems. The successful individual in this role will bridge the gap between complex embedded real-time processing and distributed network architectures, developing robust software that coordinates sensing and effects across multiple platforms. This position requires a strong foundation in modern software engineering practices, including DevOps and CI/CD, and the ability to collaborate effectively within multi-organizational engineering teams to deliver mission-critical capabilities.
Job Responsibility:
Design, develop, and optimize high-performance embedded software for networked EW applications, ranging from low-level driver integration to high-level application logic
Architect and maintain modern CI/CD pipelines to automate testing, integration, and deployment, ensuring high code quality and rapid iteration cycles
Collaborate with hardware, RF, and systems engineers to integrate software with complex RF subsystems, validating performance in both lab and field environments
Act as a key technical liaison for multi-organizational projects, coordinating API definitions, interface control documents (ICDs), and integration strategies with external partners and government stakeholders
Translate signal processing and networking algorithms into efficient, real-time C/C++ code suitable for resource-constrained embedded targets
Lead code reviews, enforce coding standards, and mentor junior engineers in best practices for software design, testing, and documentation
Occasional travel for team meetings at headquarters in Los Angeles, CA or other locations
Requirements:
Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Minimum of 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, with a strong focus on embedded systems
Expert proficiency in C/C++ and Python
Deep understanding of embedded Linux
Proven experience with DevOps methodologies and CI/CD tools (e.g., GitLab CI, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes)
Strong familiarity with version control (Git), issue tracking (Jira), and agile development methodologies
Active U.S. Government SECRET clearance or the ability to obtain one within 12 months of hire
Must be a U.S. Citizen due to clients under U.S. government contracts
All employment is contingent upon the successful clearance of a background check and drug test
Nice to have:
Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related fields
Prior experience developing software for Electronic Warfare (EW), Signals Intelligence (SIGINT), Radar, or Tactical Wireless Communications systems
Familiarity with interfacing software with FPGA-based systems and controlling RF hardware (software defined radios, transceivers)
Understanding of cybersecurity principles, Information Assurance (IA) requirements, and secure coding practices for defense systems
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex software concepts to multi-disciplinary teams and external partners
