We are seeking a Software Engineer who thrives on developing high-throughput data, low-latency code, and complex algorithm implementation. The available position moves beyond high-level application code, focusing on the intersection of Systems Programming, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), and real-time data orchestration. While you'll collaborate with hardware teams and GUI teams, your domain is the software stack: from socket-level data ingestion in C/C++ to signal processing and automation in Python to interface development in Java. We are specifically looking for candidates with experience in signal processing frameworks. As a Software Engineer at Altamira, you will design and build the software engines that power our sensing and communication platforms. You will be responsible for the full software lifecycle—architecting data pipelines, implementing DSP algorithms in code, and developing robust APIs. You must be comfortable working in a Linux-centric environment where performance optimization and memory management are critical.
Job Responsibility:
Architect and maintain mission-critical applications using C++ for performance-intensive processing and Python for prototyping algorithms, systems logic, data manipulation, and rapid feature deployment
Translate complex mathematical algorithms (FFTs, FIR filters, DDC, spectral estimation) into efficient, scalable software implementations
Develop software to handle high-rate data streams over UDP/TCP, ensuring packet integrity and low-latency transfer between hardware and software
Build and manage the software 'glue' that interfaces with specialized hardware
Create Python-based tools for automated testing, signal simulation, and performance benchmarking of the software stack
Develop gitlab CI integration for automated build and deployments
Lead code reviews, utilize Git and Jira to manage complex software releases in a collaborative environment
Requirements:
3+ years of professional software development experience with a heavy emphasis on C/C++ and Python
Deep proficiency in Linux environments, including multi-threading, IPC (Inter-Process Communication), and network socket programming
Direct experience with X-Midas or similar signal processing frameworks (e.g., GNU Radio, REDHAWK)
Experience implementing mathematical / scientific algorithms in code
Strong grasp of Object-Oriented Design, design patterns, and modern DevOps/CI/CD workflows
Familiarity with electronic signal characteristics (pulsed/CW radar, modulations) to inform software algorithm design
Must be a U.S. citizen and have a TS clearance / SCI preferred
Nice to have:
Experience with CUDA or OpenCL for GPU-accelerated signal processing
Knowledge of containerization (Docker/Podman) and orchestration for deploying processing nodes
Solid understanding of Digital Signal Processing concepts and their software implementation (experience with NumPy, SciPy, or FFTW is a plus)
Familiarity with modern C++ standards (C++17/20)
Background in Electronic Warfare (EW), SIGINT (COMINT, ELINT)
