Job Description

Program Overview

About The Role

In this position with Peraton Labs, you will serve as a member of an experienced engineering team responsible for development of next generation counter unmanned aerial system (CUAS) solutions.  Your role will be to develop the Linux / C++ based software which controls all aspects of the CUAS precision targeting system.  This position will require approximately 15% travel to various military test ranges across the US and internationally.  Your responsibilities will include:

  • Algorithm design and verification .  You will participate in the design and verification of fire control-related algorithms - e.g. motion control of multi-axis gimbals, coordinate frame conversions (e.g. geocentric, geodetic, local cartesian, polar), external ballistics, Kalman filter development for UAS and projectile state estimation, and video tracking.  Data analysis will be performed using Matlab and Python.
  • C++ software development in a Red Hat Linux environment .  You will be responsible for developing modern C++ code within our team’s application infrastructure.  You will use Conan to manage software dependencies, Gitlab for distributed source code control, Jira for issue tracking, and CMAKE for build configuration. 
  • Development and test of interfaces to external systems .  Your software will interface with external systems through a number of protocols including ethernet, CAN bus, RS232, RS422, RS485, discretes, and USB.  You will develop implementations of Interface Control Documents (ICDs) which enable your software to perform motion control, consume targeting data, and control external weapon systems.  Interface testing will be conducted via simulators of external components running in our System Integration Laboratory (SIL).  Modeling and simulation experience involving DIS/HLA and frameworks such as Virtual Battlespace are a plus.
  • Travel to support field tests .  Your software will be tested at live-fire test events.  You will travel to and setup your system and its required support equipment – to include military systems / weapons.  You will support test data collection, system and software troubleshooting, and may participate in the test by serving as the test operator for your software and related systems.
